A quick survey of the towers around Square One reveals upwards of 3,100 new high-polish units added to the city's residential stock in the last 10 years with a walkability score of 90 or higher.... in the estimation of the good folks at Walkscore.com, "a Walker's Paradise." This would include:
97 = Onyx @ 225 Webb Dr
97 = Solstice @ 223 Webb Dr
97 = CityGate West @ 3939 Duke Of York Blvd
97 = CityGate East @ 220 Burnhamthorpe Rd. W.
97 = Grand Ovation @ 3888 Duke of York Blvd
• Ovation North @ 3880 Duke of York Blvd
• Capital Condos @ 4080 & 4090 Living Arts Dr. Mississauga
• Grand Residences of Parkside Village @ 465 Burnhamthorpe Road West
Averaging 38 storeys per.
Hamilton, meanwhile, can lay claim to just a fraction of that new high-polish unit density in the 90+ range. When it comes down to it, Hamilton can apparently lay claim to a fraction of any high-density residential in the 90+ range added since 2001 (reply with omissions/additions as you see fit):
100 = Annex Lofts (40 units)
98 = Gore Building (16 units)
98 = FilmWorks Lofts (50 units)
98 = Hamilton Grand *
97 = Acclamation Lofts *
93 = Chateau Royale (192 units)
92 = Terraces on King (123 units)
90 = City Square Condos *
90 = Core Lofts (103 units)
87 = Witton Lofts/W Lofts *
Averaging 8 storeys per.
So that's looking like around 525 units added since 2001. We can make some gains through the projects in the pipelines, but even those will only bring us up to around 800-900 units. And few would of comparable quality to the average stock available around Square One. The volume is maddening: From the sample above, you can find 2,308 units with a Walk Score of 95 or higher; the comparable Hamilton sample gives you 106.
