499 Mohawk Road East
UrbanSolutions Planning & Land Development Consultants Inc. is the authorized planning consultant acting on behalf of 499 Mohawk Inc., the owner of 499 Mohawk Road East. The proposal for the subject lands is to develop a community of multiple dwellings ranging from 8 to 25 storeys in height alongside 3-storey townhouse dwellings for a total of 1,995 residential units. In addition, the proposed development development is accommodated by 1,995 resident and visitor parking spaces contained primarily within an underground parking garage with surface parking opportunities provided on site for the townhouse dwellings. Furthermore, 948 long-term bicycle parking spaces and 95 short-term bicycle parking spaces are to be provided. To facilitate this proposal, applications were submitted to the City of Hamilton in October of 2022, to amend the Urban Hamilton Official Plan and the Zoning By-law.
The purpose of this website is to provide interested parties with access to the proposed development application details, supporting studies and access to participate in the planning process.
