Today: The City of Hamilton by-law along with Hamilton Police removal of homeless encampments off the LJM Queenston Condos property and now it’s fenced off with no trespassing signs.
Why wait for LRT when there is a housing shortage. Get it done. You will still make money..I own the commercial property across the street (Starskys) and we met with officials to have the encampment dealt with. There were needles everywhere. I would love to see density on this site as we have plans to possibly do a multi tower project on our site was well. We still have a long lease with Starskys and would like to see the LRT built before we start development, so likely 10 yers out.
We may start the planning process but with 10 years left on the lease with our tenant, our hands are somewhat tiedWhy wait for LRT when there is a housing shortage. Get it done. You will still make money..
Fair enough, the way Hamilton works, it will likely take 10 years anyway.We may start the planning process but with 10 years left on the lease with our tenant, our hands are somewhat tied
You could not be more correct. We were proposing a 12 unit building on a small site in the lower city and they wanted $70k in fees to get the process started! And people wonder why the cost of housing in this province is in the stratosphereFair enough, the way Hamilton works, it will likely take 10 years anyway.
