The West Harbour is a citywide destination, and there is a need to plan for not only the rapid growth and intensification associated with a New GO-Transit Hub, but also the socioeconomic and housing needs of adjacent existing neighbourhoods to reduce their displacement. Most of the West Harbour has been developed historically and more recently by individual landowners − not private developers. In order to maximize the economic benefits to all income groups, both “community-based” growth and “planned new development” need to be addressed. The Hamilton West Harbour Investment Guide will be a resource for all investors, including landowners, builders, and developers.
The Investment Guide Will Include:
- Current Planning + Zoning Contexts (in 3D)
- City Incentive Programs (with Economic Development)
- Summary of Investment Opportunities in “Stable Residential Areas,” “Corridors of Incremental Change,” “Areas of Major Reinvestment”
- Project Profiles
- Preliminary Pro-Forma
The aim is to eventually provide all information available online in an interactive, readily accessible format.
