# Hamilton’s Pier 8 By [Brandon Donnelly](https://brandondonnelly.com) · 2018-04-15 cities, city-building, city-of-hamilton, core-urban, development, dream, great-gulf, gulfdream, hamilton, milborne-group, pier-8, real-estate-development, rfp, tridel, uncategorized, urban-capital, urbanism, waterfront, waterfront-shores --- In December of last year, the City of Hamilton launched an RFP process to find a team (from the list of prequalified bidders) to develop [a new urban community at Pier 8 along the waterfront](https://www.hamilton.ca/city-initiatives/priority-projects/west-harbour-key-project-pier-8-development). The ambition is somewhere around 1,500 new residential units and approximately 13,000 square meters of commercial and institutional space. That process has narrowed the pool to 4 teams and 1 will ultimately win the exclusive right to develop the new community. Here are the teams, along with a link to their submission materials, including a short video that I understand was a requirement of the RFP. \- GulfDream ([link](https://www.hamilton.ca/city-initiatives/priority-projects/proponent-gulfdream)) \- Tridel ([link](https://www.hamilton.ca/city-initiatives/priority-projects/proponent-tridel)) \- Urban Capital / Core Urban / Milborne Group ([link](https://www.hamilton.ca/city-initiatives/priority-projects/proponent-urban-capitalcore-urbanmilborne-group)) \- Waterfront Shores ([link](https://www.hamilton.ca/city-initiatives/priority-projects/proponent-waterfront-shores)) This is a super exciting project for Hamilton. So I would encourage you to take a look at the presentation materials. At this point, you only have until Tuesday, April 17, 2018 [to provide any comments](https://www.hamilton.ca/city-initiatives/priority-projects/west-harbour-key-project-pier-8-development) to the City’s evaluators. If you’d like to view the boards in person, you can do that this Monday and Tuesday in the main lobby of City Hall. --- *Originally published on [Brandon Donnelly](https://brandondonnelly.com/hamiltons-pier-8)*
