RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - robdrimmie - 12-04-2018 I do not like those renders. They don't really communicate the changes well at all. I hope. It looks like they're turning it into an early open world PS2 game level.

On Monday November 12, I saw machines drilling holes in the EIWO parking lot at the corner of Weber and Scott St. Is this a sign that the proposed 11 story building will FINALLY begin? That would be fantastic. What's the current proposal there? I feel like there's been so many I don't even know anymore.

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - robdrimmie - 12-04-2018 This is a newer article (from 2017) about development work at Weber and Scott streets: https://www.therecord.com/news-story/7190020-real-estate-deal-means-bigger-plans-for-downtown-kitchener-property/ It looks like it's the same developer adding onto what was discussed in the 2010 article?

This makes sense also because I have been noticing brick deterioration on the building; the cladding will allow them to address those, and also improve the R-value of the exterior walls. It could be. But the shading on the render would suggest metal cladding.

Does it contain usable space at the moment? I always thought it was an unnecessarily large awning of sorts. The pod out front is the former City Council chamber. It will be good to see it opened up. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 12-04-2018 Exciting to see some changes coming for 22 Frederick!!!

Tough to tell from those images but this could definitely use a facelift RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - clasher - 12-05-2018 Has anyone seen the ice at city hall open for skating?

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 12-06-2018 So the project on Scott St talked about in this article last year seems to be gaining some momentum : http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/urbanfund-corp-announces-acquisition-controlling-interest-downtown-kitchener-multi-residential-tsx-venture-ufc-2208881.htm The following building permit has been submitted: Permit is for a Conditional Permit for one level underground parking garage shell only for a new 11 storey mixed use building including site servicing and underslab plumbing. One of the demolition permits was filed by SRM Architects so I assume that they were involved with the project's design. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - jgsz - 12-08-2018 It’s no wonder people are often confused about streets going east or west / north or south. There’s a lovely sign on Frederick Street advising drivers that Weber southbound is closed at Cameron. Weber runs east and west. If the city can’t figure this out what are we supposed to do? |
