This is a public housing site redevelopment, similar to Regent Park but on a smaller scale. This is along the future LRT in the east end of Hamilton.

an older site plan, which has since swapped out some townhouses along the Red Hill Valley for some more apartment blocks (reflected in the rendering below). The development features a replacement public housing building, currently under construction, as well as new market apartments and townhouses. The Townhouses are currently in marketing I believe.

Latest construction shot of the (very ugly) public housing building, which is the apartment block furthest to the right in the rendering:

Not liking this.

I see surface parking that cuts off a logical road ROW (connection between two existing roads) which would help integrate the area into the larger community.

Regent Park and to a lesser degree Alexandra Park are both based on reconnecting the community to its neighbours.

I also see surface parking surrounding the apartments.

I can't intelligently comment on the appropriateness of the density, or whether any of the site is well suited to retail...............but I feel this could have been better than what we're getting.

It's off any major roads so retail doesn't make sense. It's also a pretty suburban location so the surface parking isn't surprising, if unfortunate.

If it's any consolation, the pre-cast here will be painted which should make this look a bit better.

these were recently tweeted by the planner on the file, showing construction and demolition progress of the rest of the site from the top of the public housing building.
