Old Waterdown in existing subdivisions is still expected to grow with current building lots available, and single home building in existing subdivisions and nearby concession properties in a 5km radius. There is expected to be some further apartment, condo and seniors residences developed in Old Waterdown. This will represent about 6% growth or 5,000 new residents and a maximum of 2,000 households by All facts from Stats Canada & Synnovate software. –Radius 5kms
New Development areas, three in all, are expected to be developed which will hugely impact and increase growth in the next 8 –10 years.

Waterdown North is not as far along as the Upcountry development, it is larger (329 acres) and more irregular in shape. The main holdup is that they do not presently (as of March 2009) have water. They are, however expecting the construction for the water tower to begin in April – May 2009.

16. Waterdown South
This appears to be the largest and last of the 3 development areas.
The first rezoning application calls for 1007 homes single detached and 126 semi-detached. The dimensions of the site are very vague.
A public meeting for the proposed zoning change is TBA. It may be some time before anything is being built here.
The total site is to be 446 acres. With a density of 700 units per 100 acres this would translate to 3500 homes when completed residents are project to live here. This coincides with a newspaper article from the Hamilton Spectator dated Nov 18/08 that states 3500 homes are planned for this site with a total of 6500 from all 3 locations upon completion.
