That only applies for buildings built after Nov 15, 2018 I believe - rent caps still apply for the majority of rentals - 2.5% for 2025 and 2.1% for 2026 I believe.. you nearly gave me a heart attack there for a second lol.. And there is definitely demand..

Preeeeee-tty much lol

compared to when they started:

Did they make that one TINY mullion brick? GAAAAH my OCD... damn you @Stec ! *Looks closer* oh wait no it appears to just be missing a panel.. phew! That would have bugged me FOREVER..

It's a forum, EVERYTHING is a wall of text.. They appreciated it nonetheless, so in the end the ends justified the means. I feel no guilt.

And the most controversial - they stated they didn't just want it to be an empty dirt plot.. I honestly think Id prefer that over the zombie mall.. still.. the 5 condos on this plot design I felt was a colossal waste of that spot, so maybe it was for the best. Esp. that inner triangle design...

I second you on that undercurrent and thanks man! I appreciate it :)

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Like anything it is a tool. Typewriters said the same thing about computers, traditional artists the same with digital art. I needed to show an idea so I used what I needed to get that point across in a timely manner. It was only meant to give an impression...

I think impark is right though, I seem to recall that name coming up in the past..

UGH so it took forever to get it to give me the PROPER response as it kept merging this info together: Management: The lot is currently managed by Impark (Lot #36). Ownership History: For decades, this surface lot has been a point of contention for urban planners who want to see it developed...

to expand on that I wrote up a statement of Cultural significance: Statement of Cultural Significance: The "Hamilton Garnier" Project This is the language the Hamilton Heritage Committee uses to justify protecting a site. 1. Architectural Value: The proposed "Hamilton Garnier" serves as a...

Totally agreed - but the exterior would HAVE to match the historic architecture of everything around it - no ultra-modern for the podium is allowed and absolutely NO glass is allowed from the sidewalk up in this spot - brick or stone only for the podium. Apparently it's part of the plot...

Youuu know 30 stories is the most they can do buster lol And yeah it might suck for supercrawl UNLESS they design a space with that in MIND - like a giant atrium that would replicate the beer gardens area. I mean, let's face it, having undeveloped areas where buildings used to be as expected...
