holy crap...there is nice red brick on the bottom few feet of the building now.
i assume stucco will go on the rest.

I gotta say, no matter what they do to the top 3/4 of this building, it's going to look better than imagined. good stuff.

Two floors?!

ya, it'll look way better than rusty, old, crusted metal cladding for sure!

I'll have to walk by on my way home from the bus stop 2nite... I want to see the brick they're using.

^ bring a camera as well ;)

hahaha I should, eh!? IF it's not raining!! haha

I'm actually house-sitting my mom's place in Upper Stoney Creek (Heritage Green) next week. Should I bring my camera up there, too? I can keep us all updated as to how many new parking lots w/ boxes they've put in :D

Sadly, I think an Upper Stoney Creek photo-tour would have more life & pedestrians in general than the Mississauga City Centre thread by Flar! haha
People actually DO walk up there... they just don't walk across Mud St as it's now a Highway :s

Ah...the exciting urban developments in downtown hamilton! :haha:

no need to laugh...we know this is lame. check the rest of the downtown projects. it was either this or an empty lot for the next decade. it's a friggin days inn,what do you want??

Yea you should do Heritage Green. There's suppose to be a transit terminal at Heritage Green.

^^ The only "terminal" I'm aware of up there is the Valley Park loop. That's where the Parkdale parks & connects to the Stonechurch. I remember when the Upper Kenilworth used to come all the way up there.

Ok, I'll try my best to remember the cam! haha

get bent, saku lover...

here's a recent photo of the 'daze' inn:

lol...i'm dying. too funny.

Wow that brick looks like it's gonna be pretty nice.

Nice brick but if thats th "brick" skirt of the building, that might me the most akward height for this as it goes over the first floor window. Usually a stone skirt is only like 3 feet high. Well i guess we will see what happens

Are we sure this is going to be a Days Inn? I was just in their reservation system and I decided to see if it is in there for late August and in is still not in their system.

:shrug:

LikeHamilton I doubt it is unusual--particularly for a system as large as Days Inn. They have dozens of locations coming into (and going out) of their system every month. Once things become more firm I'm sure you'll see that location loaded into their reservation system.

It appears that they have just about completed the prep work to hang the new wall cladding. No doubt waiting for a break in the weather to start it.

Good--more hotel rooms means more tax revenue and fewer folks staying outside the city.

They are putting on the outside of the Days Inn a yellow board on board siding. It looks like that composite siding that has the colour right through it, never need painting and looks like wood.

Thanks for the update, LikeHamilton. I like the skirt on this bldg... I'm still curious as to what material they're going to use on the rounded part in the front?
We'll have to wait and see, I guess. Maybe not too long if we can manage to get this winter weather over with! hahaha
