first one would feel like a slap in the face to the historical rape that went on here.. second one feels nice with the podium but the tower feels too bland.. and third one.. well.. kudos to being adventurous lol

Oh I agree haha. That was the first building Gemini gave me and I was like oh no no nooooo then I gave it this prompt "Please change that boring looking tall square condo and make the podium classic heritage architecture but after about the 5th floor of the podium make an ultra modern sleek visually interesting glass condo skyscraper on top make it about 70 stories high. A real signature skyscraper. Give the glass a Smokey tint." then I got the second tower with the nice podium and with what kinda looks like an office tower on top lol.
EDIT: But this is Hamilton we will probably get Tower1 or something like it or even worse there

Ironically the podium kinda looks like the proposed tower beside the connaught and I was like hmm did he just cannibalize that design? It fits though.. but yeah.. the tower needs work - something there would become the "signature" tower for the gore.

As long as this site remains in the hands of the current owners , the only thing that moves skyward will be weeds. Such a terrible fate to be held by land speculators. They should be taxed at a level that the site should afford. Perhaps then they would sell it to someone who will actually build.

I am sure there is a better thread to layer this into, but do think it is spot on for Hamilton's residential development woes. Slow approvals (or active/passive aggressive to almost all development), high DCs, ..... How does Calgary make approvals happen in 5 months?

Again - by Ontario Standards downtown Hamilton buildings 30 storeys or under enjoy some of the fastest actual approval times and lowest DC charges in the province.Brad Carr: Canada needs more homes built now. Here's how to do it
