Condo Project Summary
This upcoming mixed-use development features a perfect transit score near Hamilton GO Station.
101 Hunter Street East Condos is a pre-construction condo project by Coletara Developments in Hamilton’s Corktown neighbourhood. Sitting conveniently at the northeast corner of Hunter Street East and Catharine Street South, this 27-storey tower straddles the boundaries of Downtown Hamilton and Corktown. There will be 297 condo units available in various sizes and layouts, plus ground-floor retail space.
Investors can take advantage of unbeatable transit access and future developments coming to Hamilton’s core by investing in this well-placed condo project. They will also have the chance to rent out units to the many McMaster students attending classes downtown.
101 Hunter Street East Condo building will feature a striking white and black palette with red accents. Recessed balconies will be integrated on all four sides of the building, with wraparound balconies featured at the top two floors.
This will be a mixed-use tower standing 27 storeys tall with a 4-storey podium and at-grade retail facing Catherine St S. Additionally, south-facing units can indulge in views of the verdant Niagara Escarpment. At the same time, 4th and 11th-storey setbacks provide terrace space for residents to enjoy.
This condo will have 297 comfortable and well-designed units, suitable for people from all walks of life. Details about features and finishes are to come, but we can expect spacious open-concept layouts and designer materials to be used.
Building amenities include 122 parking spaces and 149 long-term bike spaces provided by one underground level and three above-ground parking levels within the podium. There will be 2,600 square feet of indoor and 1,400 square feet of outdoor amenity space, including podium-top outdoor amenities with seating areas.
Location & Neighbourhood
101 Hunter Street East Condo project sits at the border of Downtown Hamilton and Corktown neighbourhoods, where offices, shops, and homes abound. There are many valuable job opportunities and unique heritage features in this area that make this a desirable place to live.
This location enjoys a fantastic walk score of 99 and an excellent transit score of 86, meaning it’s a breeze to run errands on foot or choose from multiple forms of public transit. Hamilton GO Station is less than a 5-minute walk west. This transit hub allows commuters to hop onto GO buses or take the Lakeshore West Line and get to Downtown Toronto in 75 minutes. Hunter St is also served by HSR bus routes.
Investors will be pleased to note that nearby Main St and King St, which form the backbone of the city, are to receive significant transit developments in the form of light rail transit (LRT). This means riders can soon get from one end of Hamilton to the other faster than ever before. The upcoming LRT will connect McMaster University to Eastgate Square with 14 kilometres of higher-order transit and boost property values along the way.
Urban conveniences are expected at this downtown-adjacent location. Two gourmet grocers are less than a 10-minute walk away from the condo site: Gastro Market and Denniger’s Foods of the World offer fresh produce and unique ingredients from around the world. Downtown Hamilton boasts a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and cafes with highlights that include Sankofa Restaurant & Lounge, Acropolis Greek Taverna, Panama Café, Chillis & Chimneys, and Bon Temps.
For a bit of retail therapy, Jackson Square is less than 1 kilometre away. This landmark shopping and entertainment centre is home to Hamilton’s Farmers’ Market, Sheraton Hotel, and Nations Fresh Foods. Another nearby feature is St. Joseph’s Hospital. This sprawling healthcare centre is a 10-minute walk from the condo building, which is convenient for the many healthcare providers and staff who work there. Both places act as employment zones and provide many convenient services to the city.
As an added plus, several urban parks in the neighbourhood — including Shamrock Park, Durand Park, and Corktown Park — provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. On the weekends, residents also have the chance to enjoy Hamilton’s famous waterfalls and conservation areas, like Upper Chedoke Falls, Albion Falls, and Felker’s Falls Conservation Area. These lush natural spaces also provide opportunities for hiking, biking, picnicking, birding, and more.
Another major draw for investors is the proximity to a sizeable post-secondary school. McMaster University has downtown campus buildings, which makes it easy for student renters to get to class from 101 Hunter St E Condos. Investors would be wise to note this opportunity to rent units out to any of the 35,000-plus full-time students attending McMaster every year.
