Hmm, I wonder if this might lead to the smaller properties/structures at Weber and Ontario being consolidated, and something built to abut this building's very blank back wall... RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 05-07-2016 (04-30-2016, 03:18 PM)GtwoK Wrote: I've heard from a man who purported to be the owner of the Shopper's building downtown / owner of the white building behind that (26 college, I believe?) that that building, and the shoppers parking lot, are slated for demolition. Supposedly, a 17 storey condo is planned for the 2 lots. I wonder if that wasn't Bernie Nimer, the owner of a number of downtown properties, including the ill-fated Mayfair Hotel? His name was mentioned during todays public art Jane's Walk as he is making space available in the King Centre (aka Shoppers Drug Mart) for the upcoming CAFKA. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 05-12-2016 I see that the former Factory Shoe outlet on Victoria N next to the Conestoga Parkway is being demolished. Is this related to the Hwy 7 project like the demolition of the commercial mall on the other side of the expressway? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - GtwoK - 05-12-2016 Hmmm... Unsure if this is just an illustration, or the branding for a new building.

There will be an underpass there for cars to get from new Hwy 7 Westbound to Hwy 85 Southbound. As well, a connection from Wellington to Edna (where the current ramps off the 85 to Edna are). RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 05-12-2016 They're going to dismantle the Connaught Hotel project in Hamilton and reassemble it in Downtown Kitchener? Now that would be interesting! RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - GtwoK - 05-12-2016 Oops! Dun goof'd In my defence, Him & Her has created the branding for quite a few local businesses, and Carve creative has done the branding for many of the new local condo projects ( One / One Hundred Victoria, Midtown Lofts, 155 Caroline, etc). It wasn't a far shot to assume they might have been working on something new! RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 05-12-2016 I thought for a moment that might be insider's project for Charles/Gaukel.

This is a local guy. 119 and 125 are a different owner. He is asking $6 million for 115 Benton.. so don't expect any development any time soon.

Although not, I suppose, if you'd actually like to see something happen on the site. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 05-13-2016 Some office furniture has been moved in to the newly-finished main floor of the Market building at the corner of King E and Eby. Has there been any confirmation of who will be moving in to this office space?

The building permit on the window a while back said Boom Media Group. http://www.boomdmg.com/ RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Square - 05-16-2016 (09-17-2014, 08:52 PM)Spokes Wrote: The lot at the corner of Weber and Scott streets downtown Kitchener is up for sale by CMA Reality I saw that this listing is not on CMA Realty site anymore. Also not listed as being sold either. The sign is different also, but could not get a good read while driving by. I used to live in this area, and have a feeling this site is going to sit empty for a long time.

Is it the heritage element at the back that makes is a development challenge, or what? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Square - 05-16-2016 I thought it might be because of the row house, but it was torn down. Maybe the house at the corner of Pearl Place and Scott Street is the problem? The city wants them to fix it up, but they are letting it fall apart. They did want to build a 20 story building at one point, maybe they are still mad at the city for not getting it approved?
