Welcome to the Avon Theatre, one of Hamilton's most iconic landmarks, now available for the first time in over a decade. Originally opened on June 16, 1941 as the 770-seat Avalon Theatre, this roughly 8,400 sqft building sits on Hamilton's premier Ottawa Street corridor with 50' frontage and C5a zoning, permitting entertainment, hospitality, restaurant, retail and more. The building retains stunning original character: professionally polished concrete floors, restored Vitrolite glass, exposed brick, and a fully restored marquee with LED lighting and programmable timers. The theatre space features soaring 20' ceilings, new dimmable lighting throughout, and a fully equipped stage with a dedicated electrical panel and power outlets. Capital improvements include a new roof (2010), 600V 3-phase electrical service, full lobby restoration, including plaster and neon tube repair with new transformers, two new hot water tanks, and a 2012 lobby furnace. The marquee and Avon signage have been fully restored and painted to match the original design. Located in the heart of Ottawa Street's thriving commercial district, Hamilton's premier destination for antiques, design, food and culture, this property benefits from strong foot traffic, an active BIA, and a community that deeply values this building's place in the city's history. The Avon character benefits from a historical recognition without any physical restrictions. Whether its future holds a film studio, event venue, performing arts space, brewery, or restaurant - the bones are here and the infrastructure is ready.

Mortgage Calculator Disclaimer:

Important Disclaimer

Our mortgage calculator provides approximate estimates based solely on the information you enter, designed for illustrative purposes to help you explore options. These results do not constitute personalized financial advice, and May Lee makes no representations or warranties regarding their accuracy or completeness.

Key Assumptions

Calculations presume timely payments, a fixed interest rate throughout the amortization period (though rates may fluctuate in reality), and no changes to your financial situation. Opting for accelerated weekly or bi-weekly payments effectively adds one extra monthly payment annually, potentially shortening your amortization—subject to lender terms and conditions.

Prepayment and Insurance Notes

Prepayment privileges differ by lender; please review your mortgage documents for specifics, especially if switching providers. This tool does not provide binding quotes. Mortgage insurance estimates are illustrative only, varying by age, number of borrowers, coverage type, and provincial taxes—eligibility criteria apply.

Your Next Steps

For tailored guidance and peace of mind, we encourage consulting a licensed mortgage professional or certified financial advisor to ensure decisions align with your unique needs and protect your financial security. Your trust matters to us.
