Interesting to see some of the renderings from the planning application documents and the project website. Some of the renderings include the tower and some don't

This is going to be decades until completion, but I'd love to see it sooner. It's so barren down there. Would be nice if even started some of the buildings with rentals and such if nobody wants to buy. The buildings are small enough that the risk should be fairly low.

Actually, that would be a good idea especially on the eastern end with views of heavy industry. They could do a nice mix of condo ond purpose built rentals. I do think there is a significant demand for the area given the super limited supply of waterfront communities in Hamilton proper.

It would be "SuperKool" if this project started this decade...

I like that they show a winter rendering, I feel like you don't see that very often

Very random: I stumbled across this development proposal for a 50-storey tower in San Francisco. Although it is a bit of a different context (right adjacent to low density housing), it reminded me of the tower planned for this project:

Nothing gets done in this city 
Love the first comment "Cameron wants tents not high rises". I'm sure Cameron supports this application to the OLT.

What a complete cluster fudge. This has already taken a ridiculous amount of time and taxpayers money. This will ensure another year plus of delay.

I've come around on this tower at this point because I'd just like to see something get built, and I don't think it will be too bad, so I'm bothered by this further slow down, but I still think they should just add the units to the other buildings. I'm betting this will ge thrown out quickly though.

It's a residents appeal, so it usually gets thrown out quickly once the resident realizes that mounting a full appeal can cost 6+ figures in consultants, etc.
Every once and a while they get well funded enough to do a full appeal hearing though.. (175 Cummer in Toroto, anyone? @HousingNowTO ) - but usually the appeals get tossed fairly quickly as the appellant withdraws.

When you consider that consortium won this back in 2018, completely missed the massive bull market in condo
Just bringing this forward. 5.5 years since award . I am assuming it has cost the developers nothing substanital in 5 years to hold their deposit with the City while they spin forever. I am sure they are more than a bit peeved to see how much of a bull housing market they missed, including peak values back in late '21 early '22 (plus all that cheap financing is now gone).
