With dreams of escaping the big city for a more serene lifestyle, purchasers Russ and Ella finally found what they had been dreaming of at The Harbour Club in Port Dalhousie. This rare gem offered everything they desired with breathtaking views, refined elegance, and an active, vibrant community by the water. For the couple, the nautical setting was a deciding factor in their purchase. “The waterfront location was of paramount importance, significantly influencing our decision to buy,” says Russ.
Integrated into a restored century-old building, The Harbour Club is redefining luxury waterfront living in the Niagara Region. With thoughtfully designed units featuring high ceilings, expansive layouts, and private docks overlooking a 30-slip marina, this exclusive development seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary sophistication. “A unique feature of The Harbour Club are the boat slips available to those purchasing a unit,” shares Sheldon D. Rosen, President of The Harbour Club. “Essentially, we are building a resort-like environment and yacht club in which one can reside full time.”
Port Dalhousie’s charm and lifestyle played an equally important role in the couple’s choice. Known for its picturesque harbor, boutique restaurants, and proximity to world-class wineries, this historic village is undergoing an exciting revitalization. For Russ and Ella, The Harbour Club offered the perfect blend of elegance and adventure. “We appreciate the opportunity for an active lifestyle, with access to watersports, biking, and scenic hiking trails that align perfectly with our future aspirations,” says Ella.
This distinctive award-winning development is drawing interest from across Ontario, particularly the Greater Toronto Area, shares Rosen. Residents will enjoy an unparalleled planned amenity package, including a concierge service, a private fitness center with a yoga room, a dog grooming station, and even a car-share program. The interiors are equally impressive, boasting spa-like bathrooms with freestanding soaker tubs, kitchens with open-lit glass cabinetry, and raised dens with fireplaces that create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Russ reflects on The Harbour Club’s unique charm: “I was struck by how closely this development embodies the elegance of a European Riviera lifestyle” The Harbour Club’s design and setting evoke the tranquility of a luxury retreat while keeping residents connected to a dynamic community filled with festivals, cultural events, and waterfront dining. “I’m looking forward to living in a luxurious residential complex that’s perfectly situated in a vibrant region, allowing easy access to exciting activities like festivals, shows, concerts, and sports events—all close by.” shares Russ. “The unique location, private docks, and captivating water views truly distinguish this property.”
Beyond its elegant residences, The Harbour Club is poised to become a landmark within Port Dalhousie. The century-old heritage building about to be transformed was once home to Maple Leaf Rubber Company and later to Lincoln Fabrics. “This historical building has stunning architectural features that make it one-of-a-kind,” states Carmen Campagnaro, Managing Partner at Valour Group, the joint developer of The Harbour Club. With a planned year-round restaurant overlooking a scenic waterfall and a thoughtfully integrated heritage aesthetic, the development seamlessly merges past and present.“Securing a unit as an investment could be an excellent choice, as this has now become a premier destination” shares Campagnaro. With construction slated for 2025, the opportunity to own a residence in this prestigious waterfront community at pre-construction pricing is soon to set sail.
For Russ and Ella, The Harbour Club represents more than just a home—it’s the realization of a dream. “The Harbour Club checked all my boxes…creating an immediate sense of belonging that felt unmistakably right,” says Russ.
