The core is up and coming and has been since we redeveloped the Connaught. It still has years of further development and other improvements before it becomes the location for an upscale and boutique style hotel.

To be fair, it had more until they decided to try to demolish that stretch - it had some pretty successful restaurants in there..
I guess the question is do you want it to be a business core, a culture core, or a restaurant core, or a fusion of everything?
Hamilton seems to have this thing where it designates a whole street as one function - the textile st - Hess party st - little Portugal, the business st, etc.
