I've heard rumours that they sold close to 50% of Phase 1 in the opening weekend!

Either way, here's a write up from The Star's real estate section

Hamilton’s Royal Connaught condo development helps Steeltown steal the spotlight

"Phase 1 is 80% sold, with 25% to 30% of purchasers coming from Toronto, people who are “starting to hear about the renaissance in Hamilton,†Mr. Spallacci says."

"Phase 1 is 80% sold, with 25% to 30% of purchasers coming from Toronto, people who are “starting to hear about the renaissance in Hamilton,” Mr. Spallacci says."

The only thing they are hearing is that Toronto is too expensive and they can find cheaper in Hamilton. Best thing to happen to Hamilton in a long time.

I am excited to see so much development in my adopted home town, but if the recent projects in the Hammer are any indication, I am concerned about the quality and materials they will be using for the Connaught additions, particularly the tower. Hamilton still seems to be living in the early 2000s when it comes to the architectural style and quality of recent projects. The two new Downtown hotels that popped up in the last few years look like they belong off a New Jersey turnpike.

Recent-ish photos (late June).

interior lobby looked the same as the 2014 shots earlier in the thread, still nice though.

They have begun to install windows on the western facade. Woohoo! Gooooo Hamilton!

Mods, the forum link at Urban Toronto is sending users to the Skyrise Cities page for this project, for some reason. Don't know if its intentional, but I haven't seen it before.

Thanks, @innsertnamehere! This is intentional, there a few threads that do this now. Basically, threads are linked to database entries for their respective projects, and so extra-Toronto projects live in the extra-Toronto (global) Database and Forum now. Most of the threads that were moved are more obvious (like NYC), but there are a couple new Hamilton projects that now live in the Hamilton Forum with permanent redirects in their old Toronto homes.
