From the church's Facebook group:
"Proposed Development of Housing and Social Services on the Site of St. Paul’s, Hamilton - On Sunday, May 18, 2025, the Trustees of St. Paul’s, Hamilton, signed a conditional offer for its church hall from the developer Collecdev-Markee. If all conditions are met, the developer will build two thirty-story residential towers, five levels of parking, retail space, and fifty-five thousand square feet for the YMCA. For the past three years, as a partner to Hamilton Urban Core, we have hosted ten thousand visits per year from people seeking medical care and addiction counselling. We pray that we can now advance with this new project that will provide about seven hundred new residential units and a full range of social services through the YMCA. This project will transform downtown Hamilton. We are thankful that part of our space has helped so many people up to now, and will help so many more in the future. St. Paul’s will retain its sanctuary and new meeting hall, and all ministries will continue as usual throughout this project. Can you spot the beloved stone spire of St. Paul’s in the artist’s renderings of the proposed development?,"
