Google Maps | 2900 KING Street East, Stoney Creek, Hamilton, Ontario

2900 King Street is a part of the Camarro Group’s growing portfolio of developments in the Western reach of the GTHA, and is located at the base of the Niagara Escarpment in Stoney Creek.

This project is in development and when completed will include the construction of two 18 and 20 storey residential towers housing 560 upscale suites, and convenient retail on the street level. This location is well suited for commuters, located only a 5-minute drive from the new Confederation Go Train station on the Lakeshore East/West that offers frequent trips to downtown Toronto’s Union Station including planned rush-hour express service.

Enjoy living across from historic 40-acre Battlefield park and a 5-minute walk from dining in downtown Stoney Creek that offers many dining and shopping options. Nature lovers will love being only footsteps to the Niagara Escarpment, and its extensive network of walking trails and natural features.

Cue the usual comments: too tall, too dense, out of character for the area, will add too much traffic to a congested intersection, it will overshadow Battlefield Park...

Maybe even one or two about the disturbing the peace of those interred next door

I'll wager the building heights will end up lower, but it will be great to see something go up on this property.

This is a great spot for density. It's close to downtown Stoney Creek which means that it will have more people supporting the businesses there. You're likely to have more people using Battlefield park as well which is great, plus to the North is likely to be redeveloped too, which means there will be a good pocket of retail along this section.

Technically that corner is still in old Hamilton. That side of the road was Hamilton.

King Street is easier to know what side of the boundary a property is on. The numbering changes upon entering Stoney Creek. If this were in Stoney Creek, it would have a King Street West (Stoney Creek) address.
Whereas, Queenston Road's numbering continues into Stoney Creek, as an example.

It will be interesting to see how they argue that that level of density for the size of the lot, especially in regards to traffic management.

The NEC will have comments.

There is no application filed yet. This is easily at least a year for review, comment, revision, etc.

This is definitely a busy intersection at most times of the day. That's going to be a really hard piece to argue.

As someone not originally from Hamilton, that just seems crazy. Stoney Creek is anything past the Red Hill to me!

The border moves a lot. along Barton St. It's not Stoney Creek until Grays Road! One way to tell where the border is along Barton and Highway 8 is that the speed limit increases to 60 after the border. Highway 8 is a 60 zone past Centennial, but Barton keeps it's 50 limit to Grays.

And it's the only one of the former suburban municipalities where there wasn't really a break between the sections of the urban area, at least not since the 1960s or 70s when things developed along Centennial (Ancaster: the hydro corridor and now-developed meadowlands; Dundas: Cootes Paradise and the Ancaster Creek valley; Waterdown and Binbrook always had very wide separation), so it wasn't as easy to tell when you were actually within its borders.

It's understandable that the Red Hill Valley and parkway seems like the boundary today; the Stoney Creek waterway would have been the closest thing to a natural one though. We used to consider that once you crossed Centennial you were in SC, but the old boundary did jog around. I believe part of the Eastgate parking lot was in Stoney Creek, but the mall itself was in Hamilton.

Another oddity: Grays Rd. is Gray Rd. in the part that was Stoney Creek. Google Maps has it all listed as Gray now, but the street signs still reflect the original naming along the road. One of Hamilton's grey areas.
