That is only if we are talking about the Hamilton CMA. The City of Hamilton has been stagnant in population growth for decades. All the growth seems to be happening in the large suburb of Burlington, which is much closer to the GTA, and separated with Hamilton by the harbour.
The benefits of being in close proximity to Toronto are somewhat exaggerated. It's too far of a distance away. Realistically, any new towers are far more likely going to be built in Burlington, Oshawa, Mississauga, or Oakville.
