Hamilton 84 York Boulevard | ?m | 31s | Belmont | Icon

Two new 31 storey towers beside Copps Coliseum. Would replace a church building from 1906 which congregation recently sold and is moving to another location downtown.

The existing building to be demolished (I would obviously rather see preservation here):

This is just disgustingly sad on all accounts. Losing a pretty great historical building for this grotesque proposal is pretty laughable.
