I did notice one thing I like a lot, which is that they added another two floors of less structured brick above the first two floors. It will look a lot less crushed with 4 floors of brick compared to 2. I'm also glad this street is getting retail, on both Jackson and James. These new builds always have such boring commercial, like dentists, hair salons and such, so it'll never be lovely down this street most likely, but it will add a little bit of life to an otherwise dead street. Hamilton's main issue is that all the commercial is down a few stretches. Hamilton needs secondary commercial streets so that those essential businesses can get cheaper rents. Downtown really struggles with necessities. With so many new commercial units coming online in the coming years through some of these new builds, there will be a lot of new businesses.
Now to just get Darko to rent out any of his commercial units. At least Liuna will rent them out immediately most likely.
