These buildings definitely make Hamilton feel more "21st Century". I'm really excited for 75 James to start flying up. Gore Park is going to look amazing with these tall glass towers surrounding it. I think you'll be able to see 75 James from Gore?

Not quite the same look as the original render - so there is still hope for the front.. I know this was an older render for the towers, not sure they ever made a newer render for the back

lol dude you're extremely critical of this one. The King William side looks fantastic, I don't think you have much to worry about. This project is 100x nicer looking than literally anything this city has put up in the past 10 years.

I AM extremely critical because of where it is - on a street that is practically unbroken traditional heritage design - on both sides - and no, compared to core urban it's not - with the issues of the facade already detailed farther up. We just want to see something properly built without shortcuts. People can build whatever they want anywhere else - but north side gore park - I have extremely high expectations. The king william side does look good from far away - closeup there are the aforementioned issues, but I will still accept it as you said as being better than most condo podiums for the past 10 years.

Besides I'm an architecture graduate - it's my job to be the simon cowell of critical architecture design lol

I am not saying it's terrible, only that I want the look of the back to be in the front because the original render for the podium of the front was ghastly - so I really hope they have changed it to reflect the back is all.

What School of Architecture did you attend? I probably sound like a dick, but this just seems very hard to believe given you're trying to sell magic water and NFTs (eg. scams) in your signature.

Noone asked for your dick opinion on my personal life dude -as a result im not obliged to take your opinion seriously.

I went to mohawk and graduated with 2 degrees - computer services technician and architectural technologist. We learned how to build a building from the ground up, draft a building in cad, do estimating, building code, planning, concrete production, hvac lighting plumbing and even built a building design wise from the ground up and presented it to a team of real world architects for our final year - so you can take your nasty ignorant comments and frankly shove them. I have more knowledge of how a building is put together than most people here do, and more knowledge of the history of this city. Architectural technologists are more valuable because they don't just make pretty drawings - they understand all the science and physics of wood concrete and steel and load bearing science that goes behind actually making a building.

So yes, you DO sound like a dick, and you really should try things before you knock them, or you just come across as ignorant. NFTs are only scams if theyre on eth -- otherwise theyre just digital trading cards. Mine are on wax blockchain which is a gaming blockchain so they also have utility in games. So not a scam. In addition I am an artist and have showcased my work in hamilton and toronto in galleries restaurants and shows and been in supercrawl - so having my art as nfts also prevents others from trying to steal it and post it as their own work as nfts. As for "magic water" its farmed from the ground out of a volcanic fissure with trace elements of many things you don't get in regular water and has many health benefits. It's even had studies done on it, and has been used for thousands of years and has references in ancient egyptian texts. Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it "magic". It's just a form of science you're unfamiliar with. So yeah, fuck off.

This is all I am going to say on the subject - if the admin considers it derailing then feel free to delete my post, as the thread should be about the project, not about what people think of my opinions frankly.

Sounds like a cool program at Mohawk, I don't doubt you know more in those topics!

But on that note, based on my educational background (biomedicine), I can tell you for a fact that the water is a scam. These claims are incredibly disingenuous and are taking advantage of ignorant people with actual health issues. It literally claims "diminishes the threat of diseases and cancer, and with continued use can eliminate it completely". That's DISGUSTING that's you're trying to take advantage of those with cancer. You should be ashamed.

More claims: "can help in the promotion of weight loss", "can be used to treat wounds and speed their recovery - in some instances from a week up to a day", "helping to treat a lot of mental disorders", "de-aging your body"

Part of me is actually very tempted to report this company and get it shut down.

Haha not your fault

Was about time someone called out the pseudoscience scam being run and promoted by him on this site. This just let it happen naturally.

ANYWAYS: I think this building is looking good, I'm a big fan of the balcony glass. Looks sharp.

LOL, now that the dust has settled, these cobalt towers look great in the area with there dark glassy facades. Contrasts nicely with marquee residence which is predominantly white and blue in the skyline.

If you can zoom in to the pictures I posted the one with the John Street Diner, bottom baloneys you can see they started to install black columns to give it that 3D box look.

Coming down James from the angle of the first pic makes these things look huge. These were needed

Photo courtesy of Emblem's Instagram posts about 1 Jarvis which didn't really have any good pictures of that development but a good one of Cobalt
