Finally got the architectural files from the city. This site is from James to Hughson, and the mid-block laneway to Jackson. The city doesn't have renderings currently but they have apparently inquired with the developer for some, I'll post them if I get them.

Edit: This should be 75 James Street SOUTH, not North. Oops!

You sure about that address? 75 James St South is a beautiful house part way up the mountain access? https://www.google.com/maps/place/75...!4d-79.8753929

Sorry I'm confused.. how is there two 75 James Street South locations? Or is Google maps messed up?

We both punched in the address but got different locations in mine it does say 75 on the house. I'd really hate to be that Uber Eats delivery driver lol

Regardless I'm all for this at the location you pointed out TheRitsman!

The House is probably 75 James Mountain Road.

urban_planner · #6 Posted **Jun 27, 2020, 10:33 AM**

Confirmed, type in 75 James Mountain Road in the search bar for Google and you get the house.

Ya, it's James St downtown not the mountain. Beside the YMCA

Was orienting myself on this one, the historic building is the del Monte one (Liuna now i think

urban_planner · #9 Posted **Jun 26, 2020, 1:43 AM**

It's actually the 4 story commercial building at James and Jackson. It says it right on the building.

That's what I thought too. Attached as well, it appears (those are the north and south angles).

Wonder if LIUNA is also attached financially. They seem to be becoming more active in downtown development.

I heard Liuna/Stonehaven talking about a potential development here about a year ago. Safe to say they have some involvement.

A year ago, Fengate had a formal issue regarding this site that excused this site from an LPAT approval of downtown zoning bylaw changes. I would think they're still involved then too.

The teachers credit union in the crappy little building on the southwest corner of this site has closed down. I'm not 100% sure, but I doubt there is much if anything left in that building now. I wonder if we'll see demolition soon.

SteelTown · #14 Posted **Jun 26, 2020, 4:32 PM**

There was a proposal for this exact same spot years ago, like 2004. So old it would be impossible for me to find it. I remember it was a blue glass building with two towers, I don't think it was tall, something like 20 storeys and I believe LIUNA was involved. I think DeSantis Developments was also involved in it too, there HQ is on the same block, facing Main St.

LikeHamilton · #15 Posted **Nov 3, 2020, 5:09 AM**

Looks like demolition is starting at this site.

Innsertnamehere · #16 Posted **Nov 3, 2020, 12:37 PM**

Hopefully that means construction!

craftbeerdad · #17 Posted **Nov 13, 2020, 3:45 PM**

Snapped this on a coffee run to trueshot this morning from Main. Demolition definitely under way.

King&James · #18 Posted **Dec 21, 2020, 9:57 PM**

anyone been by this site or have any development progress update from City Hall?

You're not missing anything so far. They're still working on interior demolition as well as removal of mercury, lead, and asbestos. There's a sign in the window that says they'll be working until February 14th so we may be a little while off from the demolition of the structure.

As for documents, I'm still waiting on corrected architectural plans from the City. Hopefully they'll be in soon.

How likely is it that this one actually gets built?

This project, along with The Connolly would really transform the area.
