This is a downright disaster. I hate what IN8 is doing to this city.

How is it that developers can't be held to certain standards from a design perspective?

Is there a way to set "design" in stone that is actually objective?

Design can never be objective by nature. Aesthetics is a wholly subjective thing.
That said, we really ought to have a design panel in this region that can work with the developers, architects, region and the cities. Something not directly affiliated with them, who has people like architects, artists, designers, planners, engineers etc who can analyze and critique a design.
I am considering reaching out to some people to see about starting something like this, but it will be a complicated and long process. I have a few days this coming week where I am not busy, so maybe I'll write up a proposal and submit it to the region and cities. Do we have anyone here who works in any of the previously mentioned fields?

Looks like they are close to demolishing this strip of buildings.

IN8 just launched sales for 1017 Main in Hamilton which is a multi tower project. I suspect this is their next one.
Also the permit says 45 stories, might have grown a story

IN8 has put their redevelopment of Hamilton city centre on ice indefinitely, meaning the empty mall will just be sitting vacant. Does this signal a sign that some of their new projects locally may be delayed as well.
