looks like supportive housing. 156 bachelor micro-units.

Look's like a hotel!

Interesting place for a hotel…

It's on the site of the Good Shepherd Centre, so it must be social housing. I wonder if they're keeping the existing building? (I haven't looked at the links yet)

The redevelopment of the subject lands proposes a 10-storey mixed use
building that will provide safe, deep affordable rental housing for men, with
additional services provided for clients of the Good Shepherd not otherwise
residing in the building. The social services establishment use is proposed on
the ground floor, through a dining room that will serve meals to non-residents.
One hundred and fifty-six (156) units of supportive affordable housing are
proposed within the 3rd-10th storey. The 1st – 2nd storeys provide indoor
common amenity and floor area for Good Shepherd support staff to serve the
well-being of the residents. A resident pet kennel and superintendent dwelling
unit are proposed within the 1st and 2nd storey of the “north-wing”. Outdoor
common amenity area is proposed within the rear yard and 6th-floor rooftop
terrace. The development proposes a total of 35 underground parking spaces
that will be accessed via the existing driveway at 147 Cannon St E which is
owned and operated by Good Shepherd Centre Hamilton. 31 parking spaces
are proposed to be dedicated for the use of for the proposed development at
121 & 135 Mary St, and the 4 parking spaces that are to be removed at 147
Cannon St E to accommodate the shared access to the ramp will be replaced
in the underground parking lot.

If they are sharing the driveway with 147 Cannon why do they have the awkward second driveway cutting under the building as well?

Looks like they are replacing the existing building. I wonder what their plan is to maintain the services provided there while the new one is going up? It doesn't look like the kind of build that can be phased.

Looks like an ugly hotel.

Wonder what the Beasley lofts developer will think of this development.

He'll be jealous of it when they complete the project 10 years from now and he still hasn't broken ground on the lofts.

Good Shepherd plans to raze shelter, build supportive housing

Social-service agency aims to build 155-unit, 10-storey residence

Teviah Moro, TheSpec.com, Thursday, May 30, 2024

"Good Shepherd plans to tear down its men’s shelter and build a 10-storey supportive-housing residence in its place just east of downtown Hamilton.

The hope is that in demolishing the 54-bed shelter, which dates to 1972, and creating 156 units of housing with support services on-site, more men exit homelessness.

“If people are given the right supports, they can in fact move from homelessness to having a home,” Brother Richard MacPhee, Good Shepherd’s chief executive officer, told The Spectator."

"The agency’s proposal goes before the city’s committee of adjustment on June 11 to request minor variances to make the plan work on the site.

MacPhee says he can’t yet predict when construction might start. For now, next steps involve community fundraising and lining up government funding to make the project happen."

I read about this too. And I bet we see more of it in the coming years.

I am glad they are working services in for recovery - places like this should have sorta services like a mental institution would have but without all the.. bad stuff
