A few quick cell phone photos from this afternoon, mostly focusing on the Augusta/Hughson building:

Some more refinements to the design here have taken place. From the Architectural Plans uploaded to the AIC on May 5th, 2022: Images from the AIC linked here.

New Architectural Plans were uploaded to the AIC on October 24th, 2022. Looks like the grey material planned along the Power Street frontage has been swapped for an orange brick instead: All images from the AIC.

There were new documents uploaded to the AIC on August 31st, 2022. That was a while ago, but it seems like they never made their way to thread... so I'll bring some of the new and updated renderings forward now. Overall, it still looks very nice, but keen eyes will spot the value engineering...

There were new architectural drawings uploaded to the AIC as of November 22nd, 2022. I didn't see any updated renderings, but the design has changed a bit. Notably, the west tower no longer features a cantilever, and the existing houses along Berkeley are being retained. Building heights have...

New documents were uploaded to the AIC on November 16th, 2022. A summary of the changes from the Cover Letter: And the updated renderings: I'll also bring forward the podium elevation drawings, and note that while this sure does look like curtain wall on the tower, the material listed...

Most recent news on this project, as far as I’m aware, is that about two weeks ago, the Hamilton Municipal Heritage Committee approved the Heritage Permit necessary to demolish the old CHCH station building, stabilize the Pinehurst Manor, and build the small glass addition at the back. There...

So that’s why PCL didn’t want anyone taking photos of their logo! Interesting… :)

(note: couldn't find an existing thread for this with a brief search, if there is one that I missed, kindly merge) Details on this one uploaded to UrbanSolutions UrbanShare site. All images from there. Height ranging from 3 storeys to 25 storeys. Tallest tower is 85.3 metres to top, inclusive...

The frustrating part, to me at least, is that the City appears to have no interest in addressing (and planning the future of) the overall Jackson Square block in a proper, fulsome manner, despite the challenges and opportunities that are within. You have a massive chunk of the block now...

Yes, “The Laundry Rooms” hotel has been taking bookings. All that is left is the interior of the restaurant.

Residential curtain wall does include vents, but they're often better integrated, or even hid behind the balconies. I'm not sure how commercial towers manage to avoid them completely, but I would presume that they have significantly different ventilation systems. Here are some examples of...

It’s Graziani and Corazza, according to the Spec article. Click on the little blue ‘i’ button on the picture; it attributes the massing image to them.

Totally agree with Amare about this one. Absolutely terrible in pretty much every department—awful site plan, awful ground level interaction, awful architecture all around. Photos taken on Friday, September 2nd. Only a few pictures taken from King—it didn't seem worthwhile to loop around the...

The tower has since received its final coat of paint. It's cleaner, but it's still not exactly much of a looker. Photos from Friday, September 2nd. Looking up from King. An engaging ground level experience this is not. From the northwest corner of King and Queen. Perhaps it's strongest...

Watching this one go up has been quite exciting. Seeing King and Bay finally fill out is just phenomenal—now just for the parking lot on the southeast corner to bite the dust, hopefully sooner rather than later. Photos taken Friday, September 2nd. Starting to become prominent from this King and...

As promised, a more fulsome set of pictures of this project. Photos taken Friday, September 2nd. Starting off with a distance shot, taken from James and Augusta. Closer in, the view of it from King, just east of Catharine. As seen from the intersection of King and John. A couple pictures...

This one is done. Hughson reopened a while back now. I think the big miss on this project is no retail space at all, facing Gore Park or Hughson Street. Pictures from Friday, September 2nd.
