I think that 900-unit building for the site was just a rumour because I can't see any way of fitting 900 units in this proposal. But I love it

I knew they couldn't fit that many units into the building. Don't know where the news got its info at.

Innsertnamehere · #**6344** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 1:39 AM**

I can see 700 units in a building like that. Make 350-400 in the tower and the rest in the base.

Very nice proposal for Hamilton! It looks like this city has kept coming with new proposals for a while now which is a good thing because Hamilton is very underrated IMO...!

SteelTown · #**6346** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 3:33 AM**

The next big proposal from Hamilton should be the Hard Rock Cafe proposal. Hard Rock and a local group is going to present the plans on Feb 6th, apparently it's worth $250 million (it includes a casino).

BTW the condo tower is 33 storey.

The only part I don't like is that long grey slab running up the tower. It would look better as brick or glass. Other then that it's a pretty solid design. Tell me Harry Stinson has no part in this.

Another nice looking residential proposal for Edmonton. Nice height too! I also like the Hamilton proposal.

That Hamilton proposal is awful. Welcome to the 905 c.2004.

700 units? Talk about a condo bubble my gosh!

Architype · #**6352** Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 10:56 PM**

I think the Hamilton proposal looks reasonably good, at least the rendering does.

Redkey · #**6353** Posted **Jan 23, 2013, 1:37 AM**

The Hotel building itself looks decent. Somehow the two heritage buildings in the foreground make the building look much better. Interesting phenomenon.

Debate going on at City Hall today on the new arena agreement/design/options/financing.

Wooster · #**6355** Posted **Jan 23, 2013, 5:25 PM**

I like option C. I've never seen why people can't just cross the street. Cleaner design.

In any event - beautiful arena.

O-tacular · #**6356** Posted **Jan 23, 2013, 5:25 PM**

I think it's safe to say they'll end up going with option B. Whenever there's a shittier, cheaper way that's what gets chosen.

EDIT: I agree with Wooster. Option C is the cleanest if they're to do away with the sky bridge.

Coldrsx · #**6357** Posted **Jan 23, 2013, 5:30 PM**

Transportation won't allow C.... even though I like that crossing option best. BUT, if we are doing a bridge, do A.

I suspect A will be chosen.

bkd · #**6358** Posted **Jan 23, 2013, 5:31 PM**

Option A or bust.

SignalHillHiker · #**6359** Posted **Jan 23, 2013, 5:32 PM**

I like Option A most. In my opinion, it's more attractive and more impressive.

blacktrojan3921 · #**6360** Posted **Jan 23, 2013, 6:40 PM**

A will certainly be my choice
