Did work ever get underway on the previous project/ would that speed up the new project?

From Core Urban’s Instagram post.
Preserving the past with the future, this project will feature 96 residential and hotel units. With over 40,000 square feet of commercial space, the original Coppley building will have a restaurant, bar, coffee shop, and event space. While the ground floor of the redbrick building will be the future home of the Hamilton Community Foundation.
The buildings will be restored with original materials and features, including a new slate roof, heritage windows, repointed brickwork, and copper flashing. The two inner courtyards will be animated and incorporated into the overall programming of the project and the buildings will connect with a new pedway entrance of glass curtain wall.
Project will be completed by Summer 2026.

Arch plans here. Building includes a restaurant at grade along York in the eastern half of the building, an infilled courtyard serving as a hotel lobby to a 60-suite hotel, and 36 residential units in the west wing as well as a community use at grade and in the basement. Looks like a great adaptive re-use and I'm looking forward to checking it out. Core Urban continues it's absolutely excellent heritage work.

Very nice - and yay cornices 
I wonder what the mansard roof floor will be used for? Doesn't seem to show in the attached floor plans..
Also figures that over the years the buildings were nerfed from their original grandeur.. Parts of the "chimney" were removed as were the wrought iron elements on the roofs.
