I thought this building looked familiar. The same architects did a two tower development in Toronto called The Madison. It's in the Yonge / Eglinton area, albeit without the above ground parking... And a Loblaws & LCBO on the main floor.

As it was Vranichs' intent to connect Hess Village to downtown, its seems this type podium could have had a big impact

it IS a bit .. close to the new developments though.. I hope the plan isn't to have dark wind tunnel environments like in toronto in hamilton.. hope there is some decent setback on top of the podium...

*EDIT* looking back on its placement it appeared they situated it to face the gap between the 2 buildings, which I think is nice - nobody wants to feel like they are in a subdivision of condos- looking straight into someone elses condo.. if they can help it..

does hamilton have a rule for staggering building heights so you don't lose the views?

There isn't any one standard rule, rather a collection of regulating by-laws imposed by the city on all new developments as well as on a case by case basis as stipulated throughout the formal consultation process. You'll want to look into Hamilton's zoning by-laws 72 through to 239 to find more information on residential uses.

They seem to moving pretty quick. A lot quicker than 101 locke, that's for sure.

that poor renovated brick building beside it is going to be cast in eternal shadow and be dwarfed by the structure..
