The City of Niagara Falls has embarked on transformative urban development projects aimed at expanding the urban boundary to accommodate growth in both population and employment. A key initiative within this vision is the development of the Northwest Secondary Plan Area, strategically located to the northwest of the existing urban core.
A Secondary Plan provides a comprehensive blueprint for land use in a designated area, guiding development with urban design, landscaping, and built form policies that align with the area’s intended character and function.
Spanning 101 hectares (250 acres), the Northwest Secondary Plan Area is bordered by Mountain Road to the north, the QEW to the east, the Ontario Power Generation Easement to the south, and Kalar Road to the west. Existing residential developments to the south and east complement the area’s vision, while rural lands to the north and west provide ample opportunity for thoughtful growth.
The proposed plan envisions a vibrant urban residential community, blending mixed-use residential and commercial developments with essential amenities, including schools and a connected network of parks and open spaces. The City’s commitment to extending infrastructure—utilities, roads, bike lanes, and public transit—ensures seamless integration with the growing community.
Public engagement has been a cornerstone of the Secondary Plan’s development, with the City hosting extensive consultations to gather input from residents, business owners, public servants, and First Nations groups. This collaborative approach is designed to create a plan that reflects the aspirations of all stakeholders.
As the Northwest Secondary Plan advances, with a final report expected in late 2025, LANDx Developments is ready to help bring this vision to life.
