188 Cannon Street East in Central Hamilton - A 26 storey residential building currently in proposed potential development.

Renderings and a google maps photo

The former laundromat building has begun a demolition in January 20, 2023 but on January 21, 2023 the city of Hamilton has paused the demolition without permits.

Can't say I love the overall design, but all that blue is awesome!

A formal consultation was just submitted on this address with the following description:

To develop a 32-storey mixed-use building, with 146m2 of at-grade retail, and 358 residential units. Includes 142 parking spaces.

The rendering attached in the database reflects the previous 26-storey concept.

building is kind of ugly but it's a million times better than a rubble patch and there's ground floor retail.

I'm betting some weird parking configuration is causing such a tiny commercial unit. I'd prefer better ground floor layouts that don't use 10% for commercial, and 50% for driving around inside the building.

The render is for an old proposal, we don't know what the 32 floor will look like

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?

Depends who bought it. I don't remember seeing it transact.

Some action on site yesterday:

Soil sampling equipment. Looks like the foundation engineers are probably working on their preliminary design for piling.

The city badly needs to regulate ground floor parking... This is like the 4th proposal in the last few months we've seen where almost 50% of the ground floor is parking. I'd have preferred to see commercial on Ferguson & Cannon.

I suppose I will send an email off with my feedback since it's still in the FC stage, but c'mon.

Glad to see lots of bicycle parking along Ferguson and Cannon, but I'd prefer to see it on the ground floor. If they moved the ground floor parking to the "mezzanine" and moved the bicycle parking to the ground floor it would leave more room for additional retail space on the ground floor, if small.

Also 32 storeys here is nuts lmao. I'm not against it, just seems like such a odd spot.

I have no idea what they were doing tonight, but they were moving dirt around:
