How did the launch of Moderne go? Can anyone share floor plans, pricing, initial condo fee set up? How is the model suite looking? The last one was gorgeous I am sure the moderne one would be even better.

I wonder how much Mucho Burrito is paying for rent. Has to be a giant comedown from what they originally expected.

I mean I'm glad they lowered it to get a tenant at least. Better than Darko and his insane rents that leave vacant space for a decade until rent prices catch up.

Sweet new bakery coming to the Connaught

Sugar Daddies, a sugar-free, gluten-free and keto baked goods shop, is slated for a March 9 opening in the former hotel.

By Jeremy Kemeny The Hamilton Spectator Tue., March 8, 2022

The residents of Hamilton’s historic Royal Connaught will soon have a tasty new neighbour, with a bakery moving into the downtown landmark as early as this week.

Sugar Daddies makes “deliciously rich” sugar-free, gluten-free and keto baked goods, its website says.


The Cambridge-based bakery launched in 2018 as an online store, before opening its first bricks-and-mortar location in 2019. It expanded in 2021 to include keto, gluten-free and sugar-free brunch and lunch items.

Throughout the pandemic, the business built up a customer base in the area, said co-owner Greg Gardner-Orbon. The new location, opening March 9 at 120 King St. E., will make Sugar Daddies products more accessible to locals, he added. It’s the brand’s second shop.

The new bakery is the third street-level storefront in the Royal Connaught — a former hotel, which is now a condominium. A Starbucks arrived in April 2018, just after tenants began to move in to the building, and a Mucho Burrito opened more recently.

Now, Sugar Daddies — open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, with extended hours until 8 p.m. Thursday — will give downtown residents a sweet new option for treats.

Didn't launch yet. It was supposed to last fall. I've been seeing ads for at least 6 months now. I don't know why these guys are dillydallying. Prices are almost at 1200psf in Hamilton so they'll be making at least triple their money.

Maybe they don't have the capital to build, maybe there's something with their approval, who knows. It doesn't make sense. They could easily hire a Milborne or Baker and sell out the project in a week and figure out the rest of the details later.

Lost opportunity imo.

I think the answer is right there in what you wrote. Why launch at a lower price point when the market is trending higher?

It's no longer about just getting in before the other guys.

I still think they don’t have the money to launch. Something must be wrong. Why did they send everyone an email saying they were launching in the fall when According to this forum they didn’t

Isn’t soil testing something you do like way before you decide if you can build on the site and make a plan for the foundation? Why are they doing it now if they were advertising a 2021 launch?

I’m very confused with this soil testing thing

Also I could have sworn they did some soil testing a few years ago.

Probably verifying no changes since the original test prior to construction. Isn't there some sort of underground river around here?

Having zero expertise in this subject myself this sounds logical probably because they waited so long since the original testing and starting this project. Lets hope this is just a quick check to ensure they can start?

Could it be that the older tests are out of date now? I'd think those things have a shelf-life.

So this could be a good sign that the developer is finally moving on the new phase(s).

I think that’s because of the heritage designation! You need the committee to sign off on a sign
