Georgetown has less than zero visibility on UrbanToronto, no surprise why, with it mostly being a Geography of Nowhere type of exurban town — — — but its old downtown is rather interesting, not being on the main route through town, so it has been passed over by the bigboxification which has gone on along Highway 7. That means that there are a number of heritage buildings left, and that there is revitalization needed. We're just getting a first look at this now, and I am looking forward to finding out more about how well this place will fit into the area. This development is located, by the way, within walking distance of the Georgetown GO station, so it's already within Downtown Toronto's commuter-shed, and may be much better served by GO RER in the future, if RER extends beyond Bramalea.

For condo purchasers who have spent months waiting to hear whether or not the stalled McGibbon project will move forward, the answer came in email form in the afternoon on Dec. 4.

"It is with tremendous regret that we must inform you that The Residences of The Hotel McGibbon project has been cancelled because of circumstances beyond our control that make the project un-financeable," the email from Silvercreek Commercial Builders Inc. stated.

The email goes on to inform recipients that their deposits will be refunded by trust cheque and sent by registered mail on Dec. 5.

Ouch. That looks like it might have been a fine project.

 

[Tuscani01]

That's a shame. This was a beauty.

 

[AlbertC]

Shame indeed. This would have been a game changer for Georgetown.

 

[Lumber King]

Seems like a Georgetown thing to happen, that's a shames. Loved the rendering.

Older article from October 2020 but it gives some brief commentary on this project's ressurection:

'Very excited': Major condominium project resurrected in downtown Georgetown

The McGibbon Hotel project is back. After the condominium project was cancelled in 2018, the Town of Halton Hills has announced resurrected interest from Amico.

www.theifp.ca

“What I can tell you right now, is that Amico has filed a planning application with the town,” Mayor Rick Bonnette said. “We are very excited that they have expressed interest and indicated that they will respect many previous elements that were approved as part of the former developers’ application such as maintaining the ten-storey height and the heritage façade on the outside of the building.”

The Town of Halton Hills confirmed that staff is working closely with Amico representatives to advance the project. In accordance to the Planning Act, the McGibbon development will be subject to a public process providing the opportunity for community and stakeholder input.

Oof, significant downgrade compared to the concept by the previous developer and Studio JCI if this is what they're going for now.

It used to be penthouses where regarded the most premium part of the residential and used to show. Maybe they still are. They would have to pay for me to live there now...oof, indeed! >.<
