The first of two 12-Storey Rental Apartments - we're getting close to getting one floor left before topping off as balcony glass installation is underway and windows will be installing on 10th floor soon.

The two new towers are set to be affordable housing units - is that correct? The two larger market rate buildings (that had a better design) were axed? I found that a bit confusing going back through.
 
Holy shit these are ugly. Looks like some sort of soviet communist housing block. Wow how did this get approved.
The Province has never given any city the power to reject proposals based on their looks: Hamilton (and other cities in Ontario) can only refuse if the designs don't meet various building codes.

Between the townhomes already built and still in progress, the completed building and the two additional buildings in progress - anyone have an idea how many residents this will bring into the area roughly (assuming full occupancy)?

I assumed that was an earlier plan which included a building or two they ditched.

EDIT: I guess it's up to date, since they only show the 5 individual developments.
So that's 1290 units... which brings in probably an average of between 2 and 2.5 people per unity (will split the difference at 2.25) - which is around 2900 people. That's a nice boost in density.

I used to live on Reid Ave. from 1969-1983... so it's a nice and long-awaited improvement to the area.

UT is pretty good about updating the data.

My dad lived on Nash for a short time, likely around the same time. He's a 1960s baby, and they moved here from the Netherlands in the late 60s. He lived in Coburg for a while, but moved to Hamilton and then Burlington for his highschool years in the 80s.
