Jamesville Redevelopment (Hamilton) | 23.72m | 7s | Marz Homes | Invizij Architects

This is a proposed redevelopment of some existing public housing units right next to West Harbour GO station on the north end of the city. The existing housing units are currently vacant and the site looks like a set from the Wire.

The first phase of the project will be a new affordable housing project from Indwell:

A dated site plan, I believe densities have increased since, though it still includes some stacked towns from my understanding:

One of the apartment buildings will be CHH (CityHousing Hamilton, Hamilton's equivalent of the TCHC), one will be a non-profit affordable housing project by Indwell, and the stacked townhouses will be market units.

to be clear the first rendering is the accurate one, not the subsequent ones.

Is the road in the middle still private, or is it public now?

private I believe, though I'm just guessing by the rendering as it looks too narrow to be public.

It’s finally happening!
It’s crazy to think that between this development, the city centre redevelopment, 75 James, Design District, the Connolly Tower (I’ll believe it when I see it), the Pier 8 tower, and whatever else is to come, James St. is really about to be covered in cranes for the next 5 years. Hamilton is about to change drastically.

Quick Update: The ward 2 council of city of Hamilton Cameron Kroetsch said that I’ve received questions about why the demolition of the abandoned townhouses at Jamesville has stopped.

CN Railway has appealed the project because of the development’s proximity to CN’s shunting operations.

Everything is on hold pending the appeal.

LMAO this is rich. So CN has started cutting down trees along Strachan. Pretty ironic considering their appeal of this project based on its impact to shunting operations. Neighbourhood is pissed.
