Which tower will be built first? When they say 40 storys if demand warrants it does that mean it will be the second tower? Thought the drawings submitted to the city were for 35 storys. Im sure theres lots of moving parts though so things are changing rapidly.

My dream, CHCH takes a large portion of the podium space from the newly built former Kresge building, 45 King St.

that would be awesome - or they could go in effort trust rebuild at James and Hughson....or Blanchards- really anything on the Gore

Perhaps you can get them in the Gilligan's island suite.

You're probably safe here. If stats by gender were available, this board would probably show up to be quite the sausage party. Tall buildings, deep foundations, density... yeah, we're mostly guys here, methinks.

Care to differ, Ladies? How many bathrooms do you prefer?

I'm a female. 2 bathrooms if it's couple so he can use the guest bathroom.

If you both have to get ready in the morning it saves relationships.

It can help, though surely a couple could share a bathroom? (Then again I'm not much of a make up wearer, so maybe that makes things more complicated. Especially for a lesbian couple?)

I can see why two bathrooms would be necessary for a couple, especially if they got a busy work schedule, though I'm not exactly an expert in the field, only a person knowledgeable of how two bathrooms is generally a good idea for an apt (rental or condo it's the same idea and situation, cmon now) with 3+ people residing there.

lesbians generally don't wear makeup - it's part of the whole feminist movement of which they don't want to feel controlled to look "pretty" - of which many lesbians are a part of.

Hell many lesbians try to look as male as possible. I'm part of the community, before anyone accuses me of being stereotyping.. I've even seen some draw goatees on their faces..

Drawing a goatee takes makeup. :P

And some don't wear make up, but plenty do, as well as the angle of bi women who have different trends.

Lamb has always had celebrity names associated with his condo project floorplans: at any rate, it doesn't matter as most of his GTA investors will gobble up these suites. The thing that really matters, which sadly most Hamilton developers don't yet understand, is exterior design. Thankfully, Lamb gets aA. And thus Television City will be Hamilton's best-looking apartment building built in at least 40 years.

Could Hamilton really be "Toronto's Brooklyn"?

https://nowtoronto.com/lifestyle/rea...to-s-brooklyn/

It follows in the footsteps of a VIP culinary tour of Hamilton, put on last week by none other than Brad J. Lamb, the self-proclaimed condo king of Toronto.

“What is the future of Hamilton?” he asks. “You just have to be a realist and accept what is looking you square in the face. It’s going to be a suburb to Toronto. It just is.”

matt602 May 31, 2017 2:48 PM

I fully invite him to fuck right off out of Hamilton if he's going to have that attitude.

Condo king Brad Lamb tells audience he was misquoted, or taken out of context, in Now Mag story where he says #hamont will be "suburb of TO"

Matthew Van Dongen‏ @Mattatthespec 2h2 hours ago

Today, Lamb says part, but not all, of city's future success depends on influx of new residents living in #hamont, working in TO

king10 May 31, 2017 9:18 PM

yikes. not very good PR to come out and say that. hard for that to get lost in translation

LRTfan May 31, 2017 9:57 PM

I heard this interview and never heard the word 'suburb' come out of his mouth. Unless I missed part.
He actually made some great points...we are finally a city where investors can come and be successful, but he knows some long-time residents will resist change even tho the status quo isn't pretty.

Me talking now: I'm routinely on Barton, King, Main east from downtown to Red Hill. Any Hamiltonian who can seriously call that entire corridor a beautiful example of urbanism that should be preserved at all costs is out to lunch. We have the highest tax rate in Ontario in part because huge swaths of our city are underperforming.

My entire life I've longed for the day where big-time biz folks from TO and elsewhere would see Hamilton as an opportunity. Perhaps that day has arrived??

I get a chuckle reading the angst from the social media activists in Hamilton saying they don't want someone like Lamb coming here to make money. Apparently you can only be a successful biz owner if you're born and raised in Hamilton.
And I also presume that these complainers have strict policy in their galleries and art shops to accept zero business from Toronto visitors or transplants.

Ironic that the same crowd praises a hike to minimum wage. So let's set the record:

- they don't want anyone coming here who thinks they can make money in Hamilton
- they want minimum wage to constantly go up
- I presume they won't accept money/business from Torontonians (let's chat at Supercrawl)

So, pay everyone more...but get lost if you're a biz owner from Toronto...we don't want your money...

king10 May 31, 2017 10:00 PM

good to hear that his comments have been clarified.

It's good that Toronto money is coming to Hamilton. We just need to ensure that we are able to keep Hamilton's charm and prevent it from becoming just another suburb(which I don't think will happen).
