This marks the 44th building over 15 storeys proposed or under construction in Downtown Hamilton.
Speaking of under construction, 41 Wilson St E started construction last week. The complex will consist of three 30 storey buildings with over 900 units. Heights between 328ft and 338ft. These three buildings now make 10 total buildings over 30 storeys tall under construction in Hamilton. Hamilton currently has 3 buildings over that height.

the podium and retail spaces of Cobalt are beginning to be revealed:
The FirstOntario Centre, a 17,000 seat arena originally designed for an NHL team that never came, is getting a $280 million renovation to target the concert market:
This is now two 30-storey towers, including 700 units, 5-floors of parking, and a new 50,000-sqf YMCA in podium. The new developer seems to have a solid track record of gettign things built (Collecdev-Markee,)
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?,"
