Welcome to Canal Point
A new chapter is beginning in Seneca along the Heritage Corridor.
Coming in 2027, Canal Point is an exciting new subdivision designed to welcome more families into our growing community.
Thoughtfully envisioned with connection, comfort, and small-town charm in mind, this neighborhood represents the future of Seneca—while staying rooted in everything that already makes it special.
At the heart of this vision is The Lumberyard, serving as a natural “front porch” to the development—a place where neighbors gather, relationships grow, and community flourishes.

Future residents won’t just be moving into a home—they’ll be stepping into a connected, welcoming environment where everything feels close to home.
Canal Point is waiting for you and your family.
