77 James Street North is a 3.54-acre site home to the Hamilton City Centre mall, which was built in 1990 by Cadillac Fairview and originally named The Eaton Centre. The property is located approximately 650 m from the Hamilton GO Centre and 1 km from the West Harbour GO Station. It is situated in the Downtown Hamilton Secondary Plan which intends to guide development in the area over the next 15 years. The City has set the goal of
accommodating between 5,000 – 6,000 new dwelling units (8,500 – 10,000 people) in the downtown, and the transformation of this site into a complete, mixed-use development will help it significantly along the way.
