“This is indicative of a continuing pattern where large parcels of land along Hamilton Mountain’s arterial roads have been acquired for future development,” Manojlovich wrote his latest newsletter.
Toronto-based commercial real estate firm Avison Young noted two concepts for 1694 Upper James St.: 126 or 110 apartment-style in an eight-story building.
The buildings currently on the prime redevelopment site include a two-story office building of 4,170 square-feet (excluding the attic), a detached garage of 560 square feet and a one-story church of 7,000 square feet (excluding the mezzanine). The site is close to many amenities and major employers including Hamilton International Airport and Amazon Fulfillment Center.
“Due to the location of the subject land within a community node and along a main corridor and major arterial road the subject lands provide an opportunity for intensification through residential or mixed-use development,” read Avison Young’s brochure on the property.
