The crown of these two buildings (as well as the nearing-completion McMaster grad res) are tall enough to be visible from various parts of the mountain. This is from a friend's balcony on Fennell.

@rdaner I think occupancy will begin in May. North tower will rent up first, and south tower later at a future date TBD.

Chronamut, I know you have some complaints, but I think this development project turned out pretty darn well.

(For Hamilton standards especially)
👍🏻👍🏻

I actually think some awnings on the corner would look great to create a centre piece on the corner. Also took some more photos that show what looks to be a cut through the alleyway, the interior turnaround and King St reopened and some deficiencies:

Great pix, thanks! Now the interesting part begins as the building begins to fill and the residents start to contribute to the city.

It'll definitely get a lot busier along the Gore and King William. Kind of nice to have that density starting at the foot of James St N that can kind of radiate in all directions to help the downtown . 75 James is similarly situated, but a while off.

Based on what I know from speaking to someone in the industry, they usually rent out 2-3 units per week, but it could be as high as 5 I would assume if the rents are a bit more affordable. That would mean these buildings could take 1.5-2 years to fill up to full occupancy which seems in line with the Marquee tower.

Yeah it's easy to forget there's around 525? units in these 2 towers.
Will be great to have all of those residents patronizing shops, restaurants, bars, Jackson Square, etc.
Each 30 storey tower (since that seems to be the Hamilton standard) downtown should lead to noticeably more vibrancy

Just trying to keep the standards high - this one has been unique for me because with others its mainly just been either praise or disappointment, and this one has been somewhere in the middle - I can see the merits, but I can see where they can improve in future too.

I still want awnings on those windows hehe - give it some warmth on street level. The grates make it feel very stark.

Hopefully "hamilton standards" become a higher bar as we attract more quality investors.
 
Great Pics all around!!

I’m curious to see what happens with those drainage spouts during a summer storm ..
