75 James Street

Hamilton, Canada

This mixed-use development project is located at 75 James Street in Hamilton, Ontario.

The project will consist of a 34-storey residential tower located on the east of the site with a podium that steps down to the east from 15 to nine storeys, then steps again to four storeys, before a final step to a two-storey section that links to an existing heritage building at the east end of the site, the façade of which will be retained and incorporated into the new development.

The project will also feature two levels of below-grade parking and two above-grade (within the podium) in addition to at-grade parking. Indoor and outdoor amenity spaces are located at the fourth floor and retail is located at-grade along the Jackson Street frontage.

Challenge

How to account for the increased loading on the roof of the adjacent heritage building from snow that can result from the addition of the new 75 James tower as dictated by the local building code.

Solution

Entuitive commissioned a snow study conducted in a wind tunnel that accounted for the actual expected snow accumulations taking into account the prevailing winds in the area that are available to prevent snow buildup on the roof of the heritage building avoiding costly reinforcing of the 100 year old structure.
