Sidewalk underneath the canopy though. It will be just slightly narrower than the sidewalk is at this western end of Mac building.

Not actually too close IMO. That blank concrete wall in the last picture is as close as it gets.

We're definitely off topic now, BUT I'm a big fan of WFH. It enables a significantly better work-life balance. I'll be moving to a new building this weekend, not sure if there's office space though I'm optimistic and hopeful there is.

Is there anything we as citizens can do?

WAIT please tell me Starsky's isn't going to be closing for a condo building. It's by far the best grocery store in the city

I'm pretty sure it's not actually that much closer - it just looks like it because there's an overhang that the scaffolding goes out to.

This is 58.33m tall*

Why ..? "The Well" in Toronto also isn't some shady bar. Look up the development he is actually referring to.

Increased to 24 floors / 75.3m - Architectural Package (2nd submission)

Oh I totally agree - but if I remember correctly, one of the complaints was specifically that it wasn't using red brick.

Wasn't cheaping out, the neighbours complained and the developer was required to make the podium better match the 'character of the area's ie. use red brick, remove the columns

Straight out of Waterloo

Hopefully it ends up being brickwork similar to that used on the floor level of the Mac Graduate Residence.

Hamilton desperately needs a new signature / iconic tower that towers above the rest. (Pier 8 and Francis Ave towers don't count in my eyes)

Two 12-floor and one 20-floor :o

I second Undead's message - direct your anger at the real villain/underlying issue *cough* uncontrolled immigration levels *cough* not developers trying to build housing for the ridiculous influx of people our government is bringing in

It's crazy we still don't know what the final render/design is

The city cares more about the implementing the height restriction that make actually making suggestions that will improve developments and the urban environment.

Are you referring to the large, round white building? It's the Mattamy National Cycling Centre (Velodrome)
