That was my theory based on the description of the location and the fact that it's HIP. The images of The Hudson are even brightly coloured.

Is HIP behind Hudson??


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 03-11-2020

I thought the Hudson was going ot be a rental.

The KW Labour Hall building appears to have renos in full swing. The upper levels have been completely gutted, and new windows installed. The ground floor units are all boarded up now (except Izna). Rumour is that a wine bar is going in on the ground floor (and not Wineology, the other wine bar going in further up King). The upper floors I assume will be tech offices.

I feel like between this building, the former Braun building becoming offices, and the opening of Workhaus at King/Eby, that the downtown tech boom is suddenly moving quite significantly into the market district. It's going to be a very different area in a year or two (as will all of DTK).

Thanks for the update taylortbb, the new windows look great.


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 03-11-2020

Same thought here - those windows look great!


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 03-12-2020

The building looks great but the windows were actually already replaced last spring. Smile


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 03-12-2020

I hope that the ghost(s) managed to escape when the old windows were taken out .... Wink


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 03-12-2020

I'll say what everyone is saying, those windows look great!

I love that they match the brickwork. That has always been a favourite building of mine, as unremarkable as it truly is.

Same here. I've always liked that one and the building where the Rich Uncle Tavern is. Nothing overly special about either one, but I just like them.

Vogelsang and the park around the cenetaph has been stripped. They are working with a clean slate.

Vogelsang Green from the street.

That’s too bad. Did they have to do that?  Shade trees are invaluable in the downtown area.
