......

Located along Longwood Road, the future Hyatt House and Hyatt Place Hamilton McMaster Innovation Park will provide essential accommodations for visiting researchers, faculty collaborators, industry partners and academic guests.

With 162 rooms designed for both short- and long-term stays, the hotel will help strengthen the university’s ability to host researchers and foster meaningful partnerships.

“This hotel is more than a building — it’s a catalyst for connection,” said McMaster President Susan Tighe.

“It will create spaces where new relationships form, where ideas take root, and where collaborations lead to real-world solutions.”

The hotel’s flexible meeting and event spaces will complement existing facilities at MIP, offering additional venues for academic conferences, research symposia, and innovation-focused gatherings.

These spaces will enhance McMaster’s capacity to convene thought leaders, accelerate research commercialization, and support the university’s commitment to solving real-world challenges through collaboration.

The project is being developed by the Sigma Group and Kothari Group, with an anticipated opening in fall 2026.

McMaster Innovation Park seeks demolition permit for vacant building at 606 Aberdeen Avenue

https://news.mcmaster.ca/mcmaster-innovation-park-seeks-demolition-permit-for-606-aberdeen-avenue/

July 8, 2026

An application was made on June 12 to demolish the vacant building at 606 Aberdeen Ave. The building was acquired in 2019 through a land exchange agreement with Metrolinx.

The decision follows ongoing consideration of the future of the vacant industrial building, said Gailene Tobin Vandenheuvel, CEO of McMaster Innovation Park.

“We are committed to working collaboratively with the City of Hamilton through the applicable approval processes, as we believe this approach reflects the interests of the community,” she said.

Measures have been in place to restrict access to the property, including boarded entry points, perimeter integrity, signage and security patrols. The property has followed the City of Hamilton’s requirements for vacant properties.

The demolition process will proceed through the appropriate municipal approval process.

Probably not the way it was envisioned. Hard to say if it would have cost more to implement using a derelect building, but the opportunity to value engineer this is now larger... if/whenever it actually happens.

It's a sad story, despite strong opinions on all sides of it. And the saddest part is that it probably won't be the last one.
