HAMILTON, ON
Pier 8 Mixed-Use Development
The Pier 8 Revitalization project will see the reinvention of the Hamilton waterfront community.
The project will include new residential, commercial, and institutional space on nine development blocks.
More than 1,000 condominium units will spread across 20 separate buildings, with at-grade townhouses located on all eight residential blocks. Commercial space, themed retail zones for fitness and health, and a fresh food market will also be part of the development.
Sixty-five units (5%) will be administered as affordable housing by Habitat for Humanity Hamilton, who will ensure continuity of affordability for at least 15 years.
After an intense, year-long competition, the winning team, Waterfront Shores Corporation, led by Cityzen Development Corporation, Fernbrook Homes Group, GFL Environmental Inc., and Greybrook Realty Partners Inc., was selected as the preferred proponent. The proposed development will focus on creating a community hub, public, walkable space, and the possibility of offering Hamilton-based startups working to create intelligent-city and green technologies to use Pier 8 to test out their latest creations.
