2 High Rise Buildings Planned for Niagara Falls

City says the buildings will hold 812 units, whether it's condo or apartment to be determined

Niagara Falls city council excited about 2 high rise apartment buildings to be built near Marineland, on Portage Road.

Councillor Mona Patel compared the 38 storey and 29 storey buildings to developments in Florida with fantastic views.

Councillor Ruth Ann Nieuwesteeg clarified with Planner Mackenzie Ceci that potential noise complaints have been dealt with since it's near Washington Mills, in an industrial area.

However, Councillor Lori Lococo was the only vote against, concerned with proximity to Washington Mills.

"Within the provisions, there's a holding provision, and there will be warning clauses on titles, so when people buy it, they will understand they are close.  It's not just noise, there are other environmental concerns from industrial... it could be dust."  

She adds Washington Mills expressed concerns about the project.
