Transforming Hamilton’s West Harbour Waterfront: It’s a project that has been years in the making and is nearing a key milestone as the City of Hamilton prepares for the most ambitious phase of its West Harbour Re-Development Plan – significant residential and commercial development on Pier 8. Transforming the former industrial waterfront has been a City priority since the early 1990s, with tens of millions of dollars’ worth of investments made in ecological restoration efforts, extensive parklands, marine recreation facilities, and visitor attractions; and now, after years of consultation and legislative approvals, the City is preparing to break-ground on the next phase for this unique waterfront property.
