The Kenwick | 160 George Street, Sarnia

Beautiful Water Views and Amenities Made for Socializing

The Basics: 243 units, junior one bedroom, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites

Known as The Boat Building, The Kenwick is located downtown overlooking the St. Clair river, giving a large majority of the suites spectacular water views. Residents have the luxury of walking access to shopping and services, theatre, the art gallery, the museum, summer festivals and seasonal events in the city’s main park.

The building also has an amazing rooftop with barbeques, picnic tables and landscaped areas – perfect for entertaining on a warm summer night. The rooftop also includes a lounge with a kitchenette, which residents can book for special occasions.

Many residents take advantage of the rooftop for exclusive views of the Canada Day fireworks or the Santa Claus Parade.

Exercise-minded residents take full advantage of the workout room and sauna. The games room with two pool tables, ping pong table and darts has been the scene of some heated competition. There are two lobbies on the main floor, and one includes an open area near the mailboxes that is perfect for socializing and community events. 

The building staff organize community events, especially during the holiday season. Christmas activities are open to all residents, and we organize a Santa visit, with gifts, for all kids 12 and younger. 

What’s Unique: the building offers several fully functional furnished suites that are a great living option for people coming to Sarnia for long-term work placements who want a more home-like experience rather than opting for motel living. 

“I’ve been managing this property since 2018. There is one woman, in her early 80’s, who has lived in the building since day one. She knows everyone, and everyone knows her. She is the mom of the building. For her, it’s always been home, which says a lot about the quality of the building and the quality of life there.” Brenda Fraser, Property Manager, Kenwick
