I believe they were sold and there is something about a mid-rise apartment or condo going up, like 10 floors, and lots of complaints from local owners about destroying the view of the stars at night, and shadows and too much traffic.
Some people prefer crack houses with the police coming every night, sirens blaring.
I don't recall them being crack houses but maybe that's before we moved downtown?
In any case, the three properties were all purchased by a single owner, and were up for sale sometime last year (or maybe 2020?) with a conceptual mid-rise apartment building. Maybe five floors, parking on ground level below the residential floors.
Currently owned by Cantiro Developments who say that they are actively working on their first projects in the KW area.

Demolition permits have already been issued so presumable this will be starting in the near future.
It was a long time ago. Maybe 10 years or so, or more. I thought the developer had cleaned it up, and rented it out, but also wanted to make it into a relatively 'smaller' development. But this was years ago, probably the same time that Auburn was fighting with the neighbours on Courtland in that row of townhomes.
