An email that I got from Harry Stinson a few hours ago.....
Royal Connaught – the sequel. A message from Harry Stinsonâ€
No doubt you have seen and/or heard media reports on the status of the Connaught project. It is true that our purchase has not closed yet, and that the vendors are concurrently considering other options. It is also true that we remain in regular communication with them and that I am working constantly on securing the funding.
During the months that we have been working on this project we have become even more convinced of the potential for not just the redevelopment of the Royal Connaught, but the potential for downtown Hamilton. There is an enormous pent-up market for well-designed, multi-use development in the centre core. We very much hope that the Royal Connaught itself will be part of such a development, given its heritage and architecture. However, I am committed to creating a similar scale and flavour of project, even if on an alternate site.
We appreciate your interest, and would encourage your comments and ideas.
As the saying goes, “stay tuned for further details!â€
