There is much worth critiquing within the realm of development in Hamilton... and I have certainly have many critiques... but it is worth noting that 11 years ago, none of the high-rises in this next photo (save for the sliver of the apartment slab at right) existed:

On the plus side its ugliness puts better focus on the nice curves of the building beside it.

Yep. much of that whole block was parking! It's gone from being one of the least dense blocks in the city to probably Hamilton's most dense, in terms of both residential units and buildings. Still at least another tower to go too (the second Mac residence, whenever that may happen now).

I don't think it's "ugly"... non-descript for sure though. In that respect it's good it's not taller than the one on George.

I dunno if the second one is still on the table.
