Downtown Update

RE: proposal for 191 King Street West (Bay/King)
No renders, just notes from Design Review Panel but it kind of paints an image of what to expect.

Joey Coleman covered this a few weeks ago, not sure if he posted these anywhere. Here's his article: https://www.thepublicrecord.ca/2017/07/d...ace-parking-lot-at-191-king-street-west/

No, it was a dental school. Tatemono used to be Sushi Star, maybe you're thinking of that.

[The Gore]

Was at Red Church cafe in Gore Park. The back room gallery's exhibit (till Aug 31st) is old Hamilton. B&W photos of King Street and Gore Park (some from the late 1800's) from the Ham Public Library Archives. Not a huge exhibit but some great stuff.

[SteelTown]

So let's do a crane count:

Downtown - believe there are 5 cranes
McMaster - there are 3 cranes

So there's a total of 8 cranes across Hamilton?

Found this online with this description. No info on location.

Hamilton Condominium

During a work term with McCallum Sather Architects, I was involved in a feasibility and schematic design of a mid-rise condominium to be located in the downtown of Hamilton. Through a combination of modelling and spatial layouts the design was realized. Reporting to a Principle at McCallum Sather Architects, the feasibility study progressed on to schematic design. Attending client meetings, I made modifications to the plans and model according to design changes determined between the principle and client. Project is currently in the design development phase.

interestingly enough I am having a very difficult time finding a building downtown that matches the greyed out building beside the proposed building downtown..

How about the lot beside the Pheasant Plucker on Augusta (so Agusta and Hughson)

I do believe you are correct! Oddly enough that building appears to be one of the only ones of its kind in the downtown core.. good job!

I could see that building doing well there..

[King&James]

^^ thanks. Now just to figure out who is building and what their time frame is. Agreed that scale and form would work well in that neighbourhood.

[drpgq]

I'm pretty sure that's an existing building although it is past Wentworth so I don't think one would consider it downtown.

Speaking of the lot beside the Pheasant, wasn't there a plan to build a fitness club there years ago, including an option on the property. I remember it being discussed here. In light of that, I'm surprised no one has tried to do anything with that lot.

[King&James]

So many surface lots that hold great potential, James / King William and Main and Bay, both begging for investment.

On the greyed out building on render above, it is too much of a match (including raised front bed) not to be the Pheasant Plucker.

agreed- it's also the ONLY building in all of downtown with that specific configuration.

Workers were out this week painting sections of the facade/entrance of the Sheraton Hotel a dark grey colour.
