Lost Opportunities
#2
The demolition of 3/4 buildings from the Lang Tannery complex in Downtown Kitchener on the block bound by Victoria st, Oak st, Joesph st and Linden Ave. I strongly believe these buildings could have contributed significantly to the revitalization of Downtown. Ultimately I love what Cadan created with the Tannery District, but wish these four buildings could have been restored as well. Now that the buildings have been demolished or will be I hope we see an exciting mixed use project built on this location in the near future that will somewhat lessen the blow.

Some articles and commentary on this issue.
