This 43-storey building (127 meters/417 feet) is currently the tallest building in Hamilton. Landmark Place/ Century 21 Building: 1974 (www.emporis.com) The building was completed in 1974, and was originally known as the ''Century 21 building''.
It was built by Al Frisina as a mixed use building; commercial, residential and retail. Original plans included adding a heliport and a revolving rooftop restaurant but those plans were scrapped. Frisina also believes that no other building will be built in Hamilton taller than ''Landmark Place'' because as he puts it; 'the demand's not there and nobody's crazy enough to do it.' In the early 1960s, Frisina took on Hamilton's six-storey height limit. he brought in a consultant who told the city it could save money on services by building up instead of out. Frisina won and built the 18-storey ''Clarendon'' on Hunter near Bay. Today it is known as ''The Fontainebleu''. Street Beat: Hamilton's Empire State builder Paul Wilson
The top 5 floors of the building are now occupied by newly constructed luxury suites. Landmark Place is now the tallest residential building in Canada outside of Toronto. Landmark Place/ Century 21 Building: 1974 (www.emporis.com)
