257 King William | ?m | 3 fl | Under Construction
 

City-owned parking lot was transferred to CHH a couple years back. We should see the first drawings on Thursday when the proposal goes to DRP.

I believe I saw something somewhere saying this is supposed to be a modular construction site - likely using the new Ellisdon modular housing plant in Stoney Creek.

rendering in today's NRU:

Decent little infill project.

Those must be solar panels on the roof.

looks like Montgomery Sisam.. Seems underbuilt for its location though.

Could easily be a few more floors. It's adjacent to commercial buildings on almost all sides, except a taller residential building. Could easily be 4-8 storeys here with no issues.

Anyone know what's happening with the building next door, at the corner of Wellington?

(and it looks like a very long reno... those windows have been papered over for years!)

It's the old Hamilton taking 7 years to fix something.

Years indeed! Maybe it's just a cover for nefarious activities within :haha:

But the roof was redone and it's been cleaned up considerably.

Surprisingly small indeed! CHH says the plan is for 20 3BR units here.

Doesn't look like it would fit that many, unless they're really tiny.

That render can't be right if that's the case? Looks like it could barely fit 12 2BR units lol

I remember hearing through the grapevine that someone was going to be putting a microbrewery in there, but that deal fell through in... 2019 I think?

..It's a barn with windows punched in it lol...

I mean it’s modular housing meant to be built quick to help address the homelessness crisis.. what do you expect?

I believe he would be happy with cornices. :D

Haha that would be hilarious :P

Cornices WOULD spiff up that barn - and it will forever be known as "the barn" in my mind.

This building will also be Passive House:

It would be really funny if a developer decided to put something up nearby called "Aggressive"
