Agreed. These are just common condo landlords. Completely normal.

Good news for downtown Hamilton!

Centrespread in Spec Homes today should gives one yet another push - although their ad in the same section says they are 70% sold. So perhaps the twitter post was a bit pre-mature. Regardless, IMHO they should be starting construction already.

I'm guessing the surprise need to tear down most of the church probably threw their finances for a loop so they probably want to be extra cautious.

Stanton's Mimico project is in the news again: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toront...says-1.3356351

Dr Awesomesauce · #**171** Posted **Dec 9, 2015, 10:38 PM**

Oh no. Oh f**king no...

ScreamingViking · #**172** Posted **Dec 10, 2015, 4:22 AM**

This issue is one thing.

The fact there's been practically no progress since the spring on filling the giant hole next to Mimico GO with a building should be big concern to the neighbourhood as well.

I posted this in April, but have seen little happening at the site since then:

I go by this site every day on the train and it has looked like they're still working on the foundation.

If they can't even get a project off the ground in Toronto, it doesn't bode well for one in Hamilton.

Jon Dalton · #**174** Posted **Dec 10, 2015, 9:18 PM**

But it's 80% sold *(according to no verifiable facts at all)

Dr Awesomesauce · #**175** Posted **Dec 10, 2015, 11:30 PM**

^That illustration is all the proof you need...

durandy · #**176** Posted **Dec 11, 2015, 9:29 PM**

according to those posters they were 80% sold in September and 70% in November....we've got some shady developers in this town but this one is the worst.

HillStreetBlues · #**177** Posted **Dec 11, 2015, 11:31 PM**

I feel somewhat vindicated in my pessimism about this project, but I'm not entirely happy about it.

I just hope we didn't allow that beautiful old church to be torn down for no reason.

Beedok · #**178** Posted **Dec 12, 2015, 12:19 AM**

80% is over 70% sold.

Wouldnt they just put over 80% sold then?

This is my favourite building in Hamilton. I thought it was an excellent idea to have the entrance shaped like a church... but then I realized it was a separate structure.
