Hamilton Tivoli Condos | ?m | 35s | Aventus | +VG

Hamilton seriously needs an update to the Google Earth imagery. That Beasley police station was built like 5 years ago. And as of now, the towers would be completely obstructed by 75 James in the last rendering. Why do we still have such outdated imagery?

google doesn't update smaller cities quite as regularly, but Hamilton is due for some updated 3D for sure. I imagine it'll happen soonish. Current 3D imagery is from 2018.

For comparison, Toronto is 2021.
Google? Well there's yer problem. Install yer Apple Maps and get yer superior. more-up-t'date imagery.

A few thoughts.

1) If the law provided the appropriate avenue, I would require the current and former owner's to split the cost of completely reconstructing the Tivoli as-was, give or take any accessibility improvements. Demolition by neglect should never be rewarded.

What a loss:

2) The Sky Bridge element does nothing for me, I don't see it as added value, just added cost. Save the $$ and put it into better materiality.

3) I take it from the render that the intent is either to save or recreate the original facade.

Looking at the below.......I feel like the render suggests a very bad recreation.

Of course it does - its just a half-assed "tribute" to the facade, most likely made out of foam like the one they "recreated" across from capri.. smh..

I don't see the recreation happening - these people will torpedo the theatre themselves just to not have to do it. You can expect another mysterious "collapse" - they're probably pissed it's taking so long to do it on its own.
