The Point | ? | 6 fl | Under Construction
 

Looks like the new owner of 804-816 King St W. at King and Paradise are moving forward on some midrise density.

30 residential units, 13 parking spaces, and roughly 4300 square feet of commercial units.

That is actually perfect for this site. Seeing the new gym there I was worries that mostly empty lot would go to waste, but I'm glad a midrise is going in. Plus this density is likely to be approved and see little pushback.

excellent design and perfect for the location. Bravo

This is unrelated, but that triangle in the intersection is the perfect place for some sort of monument.

Agreed--this is a pretty decent design, great scale for the neighbourhood, and perfect location for this midrise to really enhance that strip.

I'm happy it will improve the opening into Westdale.

Typically you don’t put fixed objects in a clear zone in case a car goes off road.

There's like 4 trees...

yeah anything's better than what's there atm..

I like the side elevations of it - how it juts out so much..

But um.. what's the point of the first floor green roof having a balcony all around it where there doesn't look to be any way to actually step out and use this area? Seems like a waste of a great space..

Fixed objects aren’t actively installed in the clear zone unless it’s a breakaway object. There’s is an allowable diameter for trees, I think 150mm.

I hope this gets built. It is a great density for the area, and would bring a ton of people within walking distance of Westdale. I assume nearby NIMBYs will crawl all over this though. Also not in love with the design to be honest. It's pretty typical.

They've had a campaign against it going for a couple months now.

From their site:

Lol love it when NIMBYs do the double take of not enough parking but yet it will cause too much traffic... pick one, you can’t have both.

Also, it’s a pretty small 6 story building. It’s not a huge impact by any measure.

Thanks Steeltown, is there a quick way to post twitter pics ?

I also have a huge problem with people telling others how to live. "Those are too small, or those don't have parking spots!" Then don't buy a unit in the property. This sounds just silly when this is such a small project.

What I usually do is right click on the image and select copy image address.

Then to post the image here you need to type [img] and end it with [/img]

So....[img]paste that image address between the two[/img]

And you are all done.

This was approved at planning committee yesterday. Now for the SPA application.

It's only a 30 unit building so it's pretty modest intensification really. The Effort Trust building under construction across the street has over triple the unit count.

Hamilton councillors back six-storey student residence in Westdale
https://www.thespec.com/news/council...-westdale.html

The number of proposed student residences in this area is starting to get insane.

3 on Main Street (old Pizza Hut, Church, Dalewood area)
1 on King
and the Columbia residence on Main.

It's still small potatoes compared to what's been built in Waterloo over the last 15 years.

McMaster's enrolment has continued to grow year after year without substantial increase in on-campus housing pushing more students into the community. You can only convert so many single family homes into 6 bedroom student homes before it makes more sense to create some mid-to-high density student oriented rental buildings instead.

This is now called "The Point" and is under construction (crane is up)

Construction is moving quickly since there is no udnerground parking.
