For Lease: Restaurant with Outdoor Patio
Hamilton is experiencing an incredible period of growth. With its recent revitalization, the Lister Building has sparked significant increase in development interest for downtown Hamilton, resulting in projects that continue to shape Hamilton’s downtown landscape.
The Lister Block is a historic heritage building that has undergone a massive restoration by LIUNA and was fully modernized and renovated in 2014. Very professional in appearance, today the Lister Building serves as a nucleus of public service and community engagement, as well as a beacon of urban revitalization. In 2012, the building was purchased by the City of Hamilton and became home to several municipal branches. The beautifully restored ground floor retail arcade features both commercial opportunities as well as public space dedicated to showcasing the best this city has to offer.
Well located within the City’s downtown core at the north-east corner of King William and James Street North across from Jackson Square and McMaster University this restaurant opportunity is in the heart of the vibrant King William dining scene with its pedestrian friendly outdoor patio atmosphere created during the "patio season".
