This is a ridiculous proposal. Build this on a flood plain? Condo owners are going to have to spend a fortune when the building sinks and cracks.

And fyi all the renderings are the same just different angles.

Discussed above, this one is indeed within the regulatory floodplain:

Looking at the drawings, I note:
- No residential on the ground or second floors, that's clearly a flood mitigation strategy.
- They do have some underground parking though (as well as above grade)
-- I don't know what Hamilton's CA allows, in Toronto it would be nearly impossible to get this built today by TRCA regulation.
Placement of new build relative to established grade:

Spectator articleThis article from Hamilton Spectator provides some of the feedback from the application review.

Fascinating, this has gotten this far w/o geomorphology, without a current topographical survey, mapping flood risk and a host of other things that would normally be done at the very beginning of a proposal like this. If this gets through, it seems likely that it will be materially altered.

I agree, not sure how they have got this far. I understand developers are at the stage of requesting change in zoning. The public is not very well informed either. I believe there was a list of about 13 studies the developers needed to do but the Public is not privy to the results apparently.
Can I ask what the CA stands for for? I'm sure it's not chartered accountant lol

You can, and in this context, its Conservation Authority.
They will be chief arbiters on flood and erosion risks.

It is listed for sale @ https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/28261648/50-creighton-road-dundas
The listing claims that the site is 'currently being rezoned... for an 8-storey, 120-unit condominium...' That appears to be false. I can find no record of anyone ever submitting an application to amend the Zoning By-law.
Formal consultation did occur and it was presented to the City's design review panel Nov 2023 (https://www.hamilton.ca/sites/default/files/2024-01/drp-50-creighton-rd-meeting-summary.pdf).
They are asking for a lot of $$$ considering the entire site appears to sit within a floodplain.

Public meeting scheduled for Oct 3, 2025, didn't happen. I tried to attend but was emailed by hte City advising it is being rescheduled. No word yet (to my knowledge) on when the public meeting will happen.
It is still listed but the price has dropped.

The fantasy of the site's owner needs to be squashed. They literally bought this site from a non-profit for less than $2 million, came up with this hare-brained scheme of a building literally 15 ft from an active heavy flow creek situated on highly fractured limestone. Its close enough that creek water is guaranteed to seep into the foundation and pumping the site continually will drastically damage the water level and quality of the creek. They need to sell this for what they bought it for a let this affordable low impact housing remain. They have no right to damage the community in order to gain a buck.
