^ Well it is still in Phase 1 and 2 mode and tenants haven't moved in yet. This is likely a 10 year project.

When I last spoke to the lady at the Connaught sales office she seemed pretty adamant that they would build phase 3, but it won't be until the current building is 100% finished and occupied.

The reason the parking lot is huge is because it's also for public use/hotel overflow.

Podium is much improved.

I like the curved design for the tower. Though I liked the previous rendition of it a lot, perhaps better than this one. Residents will appreciate all that balcony space.

Any eyes on the ground? Indications on site that this one is about to get underway? Dig before snow?

Wow! 230 units sounds quite good! This should help out any downtown businesses and be a nice addition for the immediate downtown core.

SteelTown · #51 Posted **Dec 15, 2016, 11:04 PM**

Today the committee of adjustment approved the height of 33 storeys for the site.

More info: 106 metres and 230 units.

Beedok · #52 Posted **Dec 17, 2016, 5:41 PM**

Wow, Vranich actually waited for approval on something?

Rg2016 · #53 Posted **Dec 17, 2016, 8:19 PM**

@Beedok, maybe he's planning something taller, and this one is not worth the rush.

Rg2016 · #54 Posted **Mar 11, 2017, 1:11 PM**

I think the ideal height on that site is 40, this tower should be a bit taller than bella tower..

nice addition and height for the city of Hamilton, although I preferred the original render.

HamiltonBoyInToronto · #56 Posted **Mar 11, 2017, 5:19 PM**

I really hope the colours and materials used on this project are more modern and vibrant ... Bella is a large dark mass and really doesn't stand out in the skyline

fenwick16 · #57 Posted **Mar 11, 2017, 5:42 PM**

This is an impressive looking tower. The massing looks good.

It seems like the number of projects is significantly growing in Hamilton.

I agree 40 would've been better. For this cluster one needs to stand out. Like the Connaught cluster.

Still lots of space for other new development in this part of downtown -- the block that will be home to this tower only has the Textile Building, a small used car lot, and that little building that was home to that shady mortgage broker who was shut down by the provincial regulator a while back and was also up on sexual assault charges. Plus all the parking lots on the adjacent blocks.

We won't see them all filled with big towers, but some of them are among the most appropriate for height in the city (and allowed under the still-draft Downtown Secondary Plan update, which does allow a maximum of 30-storeys across many properties, but as we've seen proposals that exceed these guideline height limits have been accepted)

davidcappi · #60 Posted **Apr 2, 2017, 5:06 PM**

Site has been fenced off and trees have been cut down.
