There is a ton of lot/space to work with here and with a healthy dose of density I could easily see them incorporating some portion into the design. We really need the development community to step up and make some quality developments that incorporate what little building history we have...

I would like to think that Buffalo volumes would be a good indicator of potential. That airport still advertises in the YHM market about how convenient they are and they get carriers not available in Canada.

Completely silly IMHO, never got the logic. If I am standing on the edge of the escarpment and looking out, anything with height blocks the view of the harbour or Lake Ontario. If they were worried that a building in the lower city would block the view of the escarpment, think they missed that...

As noted on SSP, YHM needs to court Southwest, Spirit, Jet Blue, and encourage the Canadian government to allow foreign competition on domestic routes (maybe even just to secondary airports). Would love to see Play take on a route map for Canada with YHM as hub.

Unless this site is in a deep pit, the City won't take kindly to breaking the escarpment height!

You can see the cause and effect, sell parking spots at higher price point, don't get uptake, make case to lower parking ratio, produce less spots, save some cash in the build. At least with this method the City gets some visibility on parking spot demand by unit purchasers. Let's see if they...

I see in the variance that they are pushing for lower due to sales (60% of Phase 1 units sold but with only 9% of parking spaces sold along with them)..Good to see they have a solid number of housing units sold, wonder what those parking spaces are going for, perhaps that might be the reason...

How is this off topic, isn't this a thread on all things concrete😏. Seriously, I am super stoked about this development and the spin off encouragement it is bringing to building in this quadrant of the downtown. Would be fantastic if that third crane was for a third tower. Emblem does a lot of...

sure this has evolved a bit , with the extra density Vrancor achieved next door , maybe they will push up the lower towers a bit. Not a fan of the big concrete walls

1 $280MM+ Permit Please! I want to believe that this will happen, sadly still a skeptic.

And here I thought Burlington City Council was full out to stop any high density development

Wow Cannon Street getting some love, all the power to them. Is this a second one by Darko to his lovely addition to the landscape just to the east?

Such massive potential, hoping they can course correct and really drive development

When you consider that consortium won this back in 2018, completely missed the massive bull market in condo Just bringing this forward. 5.5 years since award . I am assuming it has cost the developers nothing substanital in 5 years to hold their deposit with the City while they spin forever...

What a complete cluster fudge. This has already taken a ridiculous amount of time and taxpayers money. This will ensure another year plus of delay.

Ha, looks like both renders anticipated the YMCA parkette! Liuna must know something!

Incredible that was never tagged! What a canvas.

Very interesting! Also would be sad to see CT go, but hopefully they will reinvest in a store / platform that could see them stay.

Sure this will get approved and hopefully built, but pretty certain will not age well, looks pretty sterile.
