New Mixed-Use Development Approved for Upper James and Stone Church

Upper James and Stone Church Mixed Use Development

Hello, Ward 8 Neighbours!

On September 17th, 2019 the Planning Committee of Hamilton City Council approved a zoning by-law amendment by Riccio Developments that will permit the construction of two four storey multiple dwellings and an eight storey mixed-use building (commercial main floor, residential upper floors).

This will result in a maximum total of 358 new residential units, 477 parking spaces and new ground floor commercial/retail space at the southeast corner of Upper James and Stone Church.

For more details, please continue reading below.

A mixed-used development at the corner of Upper James Street and Stone Church Road will become a model for potential urban infill developments across the Mountain, said Ward 8 Coun. John-Paul Danko.

“This is exactly the kind of urban infill development and economic uplift that we are trying to promote,” he said. “The site isn’t overbuilt. It fits with the urban node. This is a future LRT stop at that corner.”

There will be one access each to the development from Upper James and Stone Church to mitigate any potential traffic issues.

“This development is quite important for Ward 8 and Hamilton Mountain,” said Danko.
