The City of Hamilton is offering for sale, a property known as 249 Hess
Street North at the southwestern corner of Hess and Stuart Streets in the
City of Hamilton. This property was initially put up for tax sale in
November 2004. As there were no bidders, the City is now offering the
property for sale via Requests for Offers with no minimum bids as per
section 379 (5B) of the Municipal Act 2001. The property at 249 Hess
Street North is currently an abandoned Industrial Site used in the
manufacturing of asphalt up until 1992 at which time the owners had
abandoned the site. The site has been the scene of at least 5 fires and has
had numerous trespass and vandalism complaints. The City and the
Ministry of the Environment have identified a list of products once
stored on the site.
It is the City’s intention to find a purchaser that will procure the property as
is, where is, remove the current buildings and develop the property to a use
that fits the Setting Sail Interim Control Zoning By-law (Residential or Multi-
Residential use). This property would qualify for the City’s ERASE program
helping offset or cover the cost of demolition and soil remediation. Further
information on the ERASE Program can be viewed at the City’s website at:
http://www.hamilton.ca/business/redevelop/brownfields/default.asp.
The property is 1.23 acres with a 377 foot frontage and 178 foot depth.
The property is currently assessed commercial for $160,000. Taxes in
2004 were $7,738.54. All tax arrears after application of sale proceeds
will be written and 2005 taxes will be prorated from the date of
ownership.
