In the spring of 2024, LiUNA and Fengate marked the opening of The King William, new purpose-built rental towers in downtown Hamilton, Ontario. The project delivered a pair of 30-storey towers rising from a 4-storey podium with 12,000 square feet of retail space. Adding 581 new rental homes to the growing Hamilton community, The King William is a landmark project that furthers LiUNA's and Fengate’s ongoing efforts to foster growth and development in the city. LiUNA is the lead investor in The King William, which was built in partnership with Fengate and The Hi-Rise Group.
The project accumulated 273,700 LiUNA construction hours and approximately 918,000 total union hours. The King William joins an extensive list of investments in Hamilton, including The William Thomas, 75 James, and 500 Upper Wellington. These achievements are a testament to the skill, perseverance, and collaboration of union labour.
