You have a great eye that makes for excellent drone photos, thanks for sharing @FF407 ! Keep it up :)

Interesting construction here that in my limited exposure I have not seen before. Can anyone more educated than me explain why they would install shoring beyond the actual footprint of the building? Why employ forms so close to the shoring when they could have simply dug the shoring a few feet...

Two cool recent pictures of this one as it increases its prominence in the city. Pardon the circumstances of the first photo, but it does a good job of showing how the building interacts with the heritage buildings on the block...

60 units proposed at the site of the former Emerald Lodge just east of downtown Hamilton. Sounds like the developer intends to preserve the heritage facades and build a purpose-built rental building comprised of almost exclusively studio units. The Spec reports that the plans are nearing...

I am glad for the designation, though share some degree of Chron's confusion about all of what it means. My amateur understanding is that what this simply means is any significant alteration that would require a demo permit or building permit will now also need to be accompanied by a heritage...

The committee voted unanimously to accept staff's recommendation to designate the building as heritage this afternoon.

Work is starting on the second floor here:

It will be under the umbrella of Hasty Market but with a scaled-up grocery offering including some hot foods. I'm not sure exactly what that will look like but I'm picturing something like a Seven-Eleven, a large Big Bee or a small version of Shoppers' food section.

Trying to wrap my mind around the scale of this development, I had to compare it to the neighbourhoods we're more familiar with here. This 1,500 acre site is bigger than the entirety of Ward 13 in Toronto or Ward 2 in Hamilton.

Groundbreaking was celebrated a few weeks ago. Estimated start of production on partial site by 2027 with full completion estimated for 2030. 1500 acres of construction in the meantime. St Thomas website

St. Thomas Proud facebook page shared some photo updates of construction from this site today, which apparently includes an underground tunnel between two apartment buildings being constructed in separate phases. I'll post them at the bottom but UT doesn't have a thread for this project yet so...

The developer is Hamilton East Kiwanis Non-Profit Homes (@Paclo). There are renders in this video if someone would like to try to pull them here. 1370 is not connected to the adjacent parking lot at 1368, but the parking lot has been a City-owned lot until council approved transferring it...

Beautiful! This is designed to be a retirement residence, building on the current facility, correct?

These formal consultation submissions don't mean anything for the legitimacy of an application. It could be a prospective buyer putting out feelers for success with a hypothetical future application with no real plans, and not even the owner of the property filing anything. Regardless, I'm...

This now exceeds the height of Kenneth Taylor Hall. I think this is the 10th and final floor they are now beginning to put in place.

Construction progress on this huge site. Looks like a crane base forming in the near corner. I also don't think this forum has "before" photos of the site, so I copied some old Google views from pre-demo below. 2-ish years ago from Google satellite, similar angle: And streetview from...

From a friend's balcony. Five years after they started construction here, they are now working on the 4th of 25 floors.
