I like it.

Also, how many 120 King St. Wests are there in Hamilton, three? Google maps gave me one in Dundas and one downtown but didn't give me this one in Stoney Creek.

I just feel bad for taxi drivers.

When I lived in the 'burbs, this type of project became popular. It felt oddly out of place, given the setback, architectural style and being surrounded by cookie-cutter houses.

Here's an example, in Oakville: http://goo.gl/maps/f0xCE

But it would be so appropriate for certain properties on King Street in the core.

Just walk or drive west along King from, say, Wentworth. You'll see a number of vacant lots or "abandoned" (unrentable) properties, which would be well suited for this kind of project. The combo of live/work/commercial street-level townhomes with residential uses above brings good density and affordability.

Because the boundary jogs a bit, the properties across the street are on King St E Hamilton. Of the four corners at the intersection of King and Centennial, three are in Stoney Creek and one (SW) is in Hamilton.

Is the Phase 2 building rental units or condo?

The building design looks more like a condo building to me, and the proposal PDF has the word "condominium" splashed throughout.

However, wouldn't these get pre-sold before hand? I've never seen any listing or reference to this building anywhere else.
