Downtown Hamilton Site Purchased By Brad Lamb

Brad Lamb has purchased this 0.7-acre parking lot at 117 King William St. in downtown Hamilton.

 

This week witnessed good transaction levels in all subject markets.

We saw multiple eight-figure transactions as Sycamore Partners purchased several Lowe’s for approximately $140/sq. ft each. (It was announced earlier this month that Lowe’s will operate as RONA.) Among these transactions, the largest was in Woolwich, where 278 acres of land adjacent to the Waterloo airport was purchased for $35 million ($125,000/acre).

Beyond the Lowe’s transactions, the largest transaction in Hamilton took place downtown as Brad Lamb purchased 117 King William St., a 0.7-acre parking lot, for $7 million ($10 million/acre).

In the news, 43- and 36-storey towers have been proposed in Stoney Creek, the Jamesville Lofts development sees new life, and there’s an update on Oracle Condos, Coletara’s Main and Queen St. development.

The GHA Sales Transaction Database offers you this week’s CRE transaction activity.

Take care,

Receiver selling Applewood Marketplace development project and land in London, Ont

Steve McLean, RENX

Two adjacent development sites in London, Ont., where Phase 1 of the 584-unit residential and retail Applewood Marketplace is nearing completion, have been put on the sale block by a court-appointed receiver.

EY is handling the sale, having been appointed receiver over all the assets, undertakings and properties of Applewood Marketplace Inc.

Construction of the first phase of the north London development was about 75 per cent complete but had experienced a series of delays that added to its costs and eventually put the project into receivership.

Applewood Marketplace consists of a five-storey building with 107 rental apartments, nine rental townhouses and 15,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space on 2.5 acres at 865 Kleinburg Dr.

However, work at the site had stopped on June 1, according to documents filed as part of the proceeding.
