11 Robert Street| 6 fl | Under Construction
New 6 storey mixed use development going in front of the Design Review Panel. Rendering is in the latest edition of Novae Res Urbis. This will have 28 units and about 3,000sf of retail, and replaces what is currently a single storey commercial building just off of James North. Developer is "Yoke Group".

I like this kind of density set right behind the James N streetwall. The design leaves much to be desired though...

Has Yoke Group ever completed a project like this before?

I'd like to see a better render, but I like this a lot. It's hidden tucked behind James Street while keeping commercial opportunity on the first floor, and it respects the neighbouring josie's by not being extremely over bearing. I'd like to see a lot more of this.

Yoke Group? I wouldn't expect this one to ever happen. Their track record as a property manager isn't that great as it is.

All this proposed density being tucked just behind James St is great for all the businesses!

Do they have the slideshows online somewhere or do you have to request them from the clerk?

If people threw beige clay mud balls at this building no one would ever notice since they would blend in quite nicely.

It appears there's no windows facing James St... just one big brick wall

Yeah, the west-facing wall isn't great. If they are unable or unwilling to have any apertures in it, perhaps an artist could use it as a canvas...

Or itll have some random grafitti - have you seen the gore building? Some asshole grafittied the top of it where it says "the gore" - can't even make out whey they scrawled but it's in green spraypaint - horrible.

it says "kill- something" - that was the only word I could make out.

Perhaps there's something about to happen on/above the properties to the west, where Born and Raised and other businesses are? Hence the blank wall.

What's the word on this project? Wasn't it approved by the city in March?

It is now at the LPAT, awaiting assignment to a case coordinator.

Does Hamilton force more developments to LPAT than any other jurisdiction? Its unbelievable how council is determined to stifle progress in this town.

Truthfully, it seems to be staff. It's a vicious cycle though. Staff recommend what they think council wants, remembering that council is a regressive, sometimes idiotic bunch, and so staff don't recommend things that actually make sense.

This is not a city-initiated appeal.
