Wondering if anyone knows who owns the last corner on the block (south east) at George and Bay?

I'm not either - what I am offended by is that it hints that the textile building is being planned to be demolished - so that something can abut to THIS side of the concrete wall as well - and to newly renovate a building to the extent they did and then just plan to eventually buy it up and demolish it.. well that doesn't sit right with me.

Of course I could be wrong, and if so well that wall will just become a heavily graffiittied wall as it's perfect for taggers. Maybe they'll put a nice mural there or something.

All I can find is that is a City lot rented from a private owner, though this lease looks out of date: http://www2.hamilton.ca/Hamilton.Por...03/PD04196.pdf

I can't find out if McMaster actually owns the northerly lot at SW of King and Bay. No development application I can find. I wonder if both lots are privately owned and Mac is developing it as a tenant? According to that report, Leggat Investments owned 191 King and Oakland "6" Limited owned 22 Bay S. Maybe the same Leggat as behind the car dealerships?

Werent the lots owned by HMP(so the Leggat connection makes sense) Thought Mac had bought them but cant find documentation.

Dreaming optimistically that this happens. Tried to get a picture for how this area would be with Macs tower completed.

Alternatively, if City Hall enforces a 30-storey limit, probably something like this?

Blue gold and greeen.. blue gold and greee ee ee eeeen..

it's nice to see different colours of glass though - and what a difference to the cityscape it shows.. quite the built up little block.. that convenience store looks so dinky now in comparison..

Very much looking forward to this coming to fruition! Also hope to hell the 30 story limit is not enforced here because the corner tower would add some much needed visual interest instead of a flat table top skyline!

And that lot with the Busybee corner store and the Tim Hortons really needs to be redeveloped! Anyone know if that may happen one day?

It seems like there have been repeated attempts to get things erected at that location.

lol. thats a good one

What ever happened to that fixture surplus store across the street(NE King and Caroline). There were plans to build a 20 story tower there? I'm guessing that died.

Right here

I hope the street level doesn't match what's in the rendering. There needs to be retail or a restaurant.

drilling on site yesterday!

Innsertnamehere · #55 Posted **Sep 11, 2020, 1:44 PM**

Really interested to see what comes of this site when a formal application is made.

SantaClo · #56 Posted **Sep 11, 2020, 1:49 PM**

Drilling 12 feet from the existing building, I'm guessing they might already know what's underneath.

typically geology reports for planning applications need to be dated within the last 18 months from my understanding.

They were back today and have now drilled holes in a grid pattern across almost the entire site.

This would be awesome if it goes ahead....wonder where the MAC Grad proposal is at as well. Going to be a great block when done , and with Green Oak 3 tower proposal close by, this area will have transformed from parking lots to thousands of residents in under 10 years.

They should knock the lot down next door where the variety store is and make those red purple and orange skyscrapers, then they can have the rainbow lot hahaha..
