The Construction Source

APRI L 2021 Gateway is currently building two semi-detached homes in St. Catharines – the kind the company is known for, with “basement suites that don’t feel like basements” – and they have several more developments in the approval stages. Some upcoming developments are of similar scale and should be ready for construction in six-months-to-a-year. Others are larger, as the company is looking to expand beyond the small-scale infills that have historically been their bread and butter. For example, they recently obtained approval for a six-storey student residence in Hamilton, near McMaster. Charles anticipates that taking a few years to come to fruition. In general, Charles says his goal is to “continue growing the company to take on larger projects and help more people.” “That’s the most fulfilling part of what we do,” he concludes. “It’s seeing people move into their home and fall in love with it. We love that and we want to do it more.” Looking forward
