About Elgin Mall Area
The Elgin Mall area is St. Thomas's commercial hub, and the surrounding residential streets attract tenants who work nearby in retail, healthcare, and trades. Transit access is good and rents are accessible, making units here easy to fill. The area is also well-positioned to benefit from the Volkswagen plant employment wave coming to the region. The neighbourhood centres on Elgin Mall and the Talbot Street commercial corridor to the east, extending into the residential streets between Highbury Avenue and the mall. St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital is nearby, creating steady demand from healthcare workers who want to live close to work. For investors, the Elgin Mall area offers a practical combination of amenities and transit access that appeals to a broad range of tenants.
