Oh wow. This is big. Hamilton’s mountain continues to densify, an area that seemingly was blacklisted from growth until just a few years ago… south of the Linc no less. Interestingly this isn’t coming on the back of some major investment- just raw growth. Curious what the basis for this is, not that I’d want to jinx it!

Although something like this would certainly be better located a block west on Upper James, overall not a bad spot. Not much on that corner at all but lots of space for easy growth.

It is at Stone Church. Unfortunate that there's zero retail though.

My old hood from the 90s. I've been waiting for the lot of have something like this proposed.

What sayith the DRP? If I recall correctly many many moons ago the owner of the south east corner wanted a grocry store on the site, but finally came back with the sfh that you see today.Upper James has so much retail (much of it horrendous), that surely every major intersection does not need something.

“685 Rental Units and 910 Parking Spaces”

No retail space, despite being a pretty densely populated neighbourhood, and the closest retail being 900m away.

This area has a lot of retirement homes, so it would be nice if some retail was available for them to cross the street to. Not having to wait for the grocery shuttle or a pay for a taxi for a quick shop would be nice.

Also zero mention of affordable units, and just a vague mention of 3-beds.

Send this one back ASAP!
