Welcome to Steelport, the newest standard-bearer for modern industry. A world-class industrial park connecting rail, road, and water in the historic port of Hamilton.
As you know, Slate purchased the approximately 800-acre parcel of industrial land once dedicated to steelmaking in June 2022 in a $518-million deal, laying out their plans to transform it into a modern commercial district.
On Wednesday, the firm unveiled new renderings for the development at an event hosted in the shadow of former Stelco buildings at the corner of Gage Street North and Burlington Street East. Included in the renderings were proposed public parks hinging on existing industrial remnants, creative office spaces and film studios, as well as a waterfront district that could include spaces for restaurants, retail, entertainment, recreation, education and culture.
