Maybe we can get out the archives and actually rebuild the buildings they demolished lol..
That would require the existing well in hamilton to move. I was actually just talking to steve who originally was the one who opened it and he said the guy running it partook in some unethical stuff which caused him to part ways with it.
I'm still holding out that IN8 either goes hard on this one, partners with someone with some history of building that kind of thing or just sells it. Maybe RioCan could buy it and just build a Hamilton Well. Well 2, or maybe something more Hamilton. Hamilton Commons, Hamilton Square, Hamilton Hall, maybe named after something that was there before? Hamilton Market, Hamilton Centre, could be nice to get something a bit more interesting.
Why ..?
I know what development he's referring to. Both "the Well"s were created by the same person, one in hamiltn, one in toronto, as steve was orignally from hamilton and thus wanted a presence here, but the one in hamilton was run by someone else - steve originally set up both wells, the "pitbull" events in toronto, and "the drink" bar in toronto.
is going to be replicated across the country over the next decade! I know that in Toronto several of the really big property owners have people there daily taking notes. This site in Hamilton is perfect for that and seemed to have similarities in its early iterations. Other possible inspirations might be Mirvish Village and Fitzrovia’s site on Queen East.I am confused. You are comparing some little bar with an absolutely massive multi-purpose (retail, dining, entertainment, residential, office) development that cost at least $1.4 billion to construct?
Mirvish Village hasn't been completed yet, but I also think it'll be a winning model, and additionally it looks great, better than much of The Well in my opinion.I think that The Well Model
