Looking good. Hopefully it turns out that way.

Close the gun store and that would be the cherry on top!

Is it weird that being on that corner when I was in Hamilton last, and seeing the concept art. I could not place it.

I know there is the saying someone has to go first but this looks out of place to me, and looks a little off.

^Well, there's nothing of that scale on Locke presently so you're not wrong to say it might look out of place. In the end, I'm sure it'll be fine...

[HamiltonPlanning]

its just the start of whats to come

[Beedok]

Looks like a good scale for that type of neighbourhood.

[HillStreetBlues]

I have to agree, that scale is ideal. I hope the retail/commercial has as much positive street presence as it looks like it will.

I regularly shop at al Simmons. It's great. Just because you don't like guns doesn't mean it should close.

I love Locke street. I can grab a bite to eat at great restaurants get a superb cup of coffee and even pick up some ammo. Where else can I do that?

Maybe a bit bigger than what I think is good scale for Locke but not big enough that I'd raise a stink about it. Still a solid design.

Don't rag on the gun shop, we should encourage local small businesses.

When Justin legalizes marijuana we'll probably see a lot of local small businesses pop up. . .

We already have at least 2 dispensaries that opened recently.

Just had a buddy told me he bought a unit in this condo. One bedroom 700 sq feet plus 300 sq foot terrace for mid 400k.

He said it was a bit of a steep price but the amenities they showed him are all top notch and you cant beat the locke street location.

I encourage and endorse this town until I'm blue in the face, but living nearby a gun shop which has had robberies in the past and in a city which could use the help in that topic. I will rag on it all day.

Wow that's steep for such a tiny unit, and considering that a terrace is only good for part of the year... You could get a whole house for that price; but I guess to the condo buyer, the amenities list reigns king.

[Jon Dalton]

People pay half a million dollars to live near the gun shop (well more like Starbucks but the gun shop is there) and they will pay more than that in the future. I don't think anyone is worried about the the gun store being on Locke Street.

What do you mean by "only good for part of the year"?

nobody wants to sit out on their terrace on a day like today
