Are there building the Alt from prefabricated sections? Looks interesting.

You mean Toronto is getting less serious. These are old projects man, started years ago. We need some new construction starts otherwise things will stagnant.

The action's shifting to the 905. Toronto's too expensive for normal people who want to live in, not flip or rent out, a condominium. I'd rather live in downtown Hamilton than the GTA suburbs, which is another reason it's booming.

Some of those projects just barely started! There's been a ton of projects break ground in the last few months. Top 50 proposals tell nothing.

I wouldn't want to live in downtown Hamilton. Booming is subjective too. Even shithole Oshawa is building new high rises in their downtown after decades of nothing.

Downtown Oshawa and St Catherines are pretty similiar: depressing.

Downtown Hamilton is exploding with new cafes, brunch spots, galleries, millenials. It reminds me of West Queen West c.1997.

I was referring to big downtown investments. Yeah Hamilton's scene has certainly improved in recent years but, yeah, it's still not my thing. Exploding is subjective. This is happening everywhere and not just the 905.

Hamilton & Brine Condos - out in the Riverhead/Old West End neighbourhood.









It's a pocket of in-fill in an older neighbourhood, the area immediately surrounding looks like this:



But the further you go, the older it gets.

Mini-Mississauga Update

Just a little check on the final phase of the North Building reconstruction, replacing a building from '67 with a modern 6 floor institutional building, along with a pic of the 48 floor Grand Park II:
