Description

Anthem at The Metalworks

Anthem represents the latest addition to The Metalworks, a master-planned community built on the historic site of a former steel foundry along the Speed River in Downtown Guelph. Developed by Fusion Homes, this 14-storey condominium blends modern architecture with Guelph’s rich industrial heritage. In particular, the building features a striking combination of brick, glass, metal, and masonry, which reflects the surrounding neighbourhood while simultaneously introducing a fresh contemporary design. Moreover, The Metalworks community includes The River Walk, a scenic promenade with historically inspired art exhibits and landscaping that connects residents directly to the downtown core. In addition, the Heritage Building, which has stood along the Speed River since 1827, has been revitalized to house Spring Mill Distillery—led by Guelph’s own John Sleeman—along with event spaces and future retail. Together, these elements integrate history, culture, and modern living.

Home Design and Planning

Anthem offers two distinct suite collections, each designed with careful attention to detail. Specifically, the Melodic Collection occupies Floors 1 through 10 and features ceiling heights ranging from 8’6” to 10’. Furthermore, the suites include 4 1/4” contemporary baseboards and doors, oversized ceramic tile, plush carpet, 36” Canadian-made upper cabinetry, quartz countertops, and energy-efficient stainless steel appliances. As a result, residents benefit from both style and functionality. In addition, building amenities enhance daily living with spaces such as a Piano Lounge, Fitness Club, and Cycle Room. Moreover, the Co-Work Studio includes a boardroom and glass work pods, while the Anthem Social Club supports gatherings. Finally, outdoor areas such as the Cross St. Terrace with BBQ and fire pit, along with the Sunrise Deck for yoga, reading, and morning coffee, further expand lifestyle options.

Location and Daily Access

Anthem at The Metalworks is located at the corner of Arthur Street South and Cross Street in Downtown Guelph. Because of this prime position, residents live steps from restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, and cultural venues. Additionally, the Speed River and surrounding green spaces sit immediately nearby, offering a natural retreat within the urban core. Consequently, residents can enjoy both vibrant city life and accessible outdoor spaces.
