Wow, definitely the biggest change to the downtown skyline in decades right here. Looks crazy from York Boulevard.

I like how alot of shots of this include the water. As Hamilton's skyline grows (perhaps if it gets taller, too) the water might make its way into the public consciousness more and make the skyline even more impressive, bridging the lake and escarpment.
The white trim and painted undersides of the balconies is a nice touch:
Disappointed with the basic, super cheap balcony railing choice though.
There is also scaffolding now up along King William to begin laying brick on the podium levels. Looks like they will be using real brick and not pre-cast panels, which is a nice touch.
I have a question...in Johnnyhamont's series of photos above, there are what appear to be high-rises being built that you can see on the horizon (above Aldershot), in the direction of Waterdown. Is there a huge amount of development happening up there now too?

Sort of... There's one single, huge development, not a huge movement or series of developments.
Thanks for clarifying that...I went and did a quick look on maps, and it looks like there is one of those developments in the vicinity of Hamilton St. South and Barton Street in Waterdown. I guess that's what's in your picture....

3 more floors to go! It's starting to look tall now. It's a shame these couldn't be just a few more floors taller like 75 James will be - that extra 4 floors would really give a bit of extra verticality.
