I'll definitely be interested to see how the parking plays out. Will they (smartly) choose not just to play host to the local Brick Brewing in their brewpub, but also the local Community Carshare as an option for those eschewing all (or some) cars? It will also be interesting to see what the per-stall cost of parking is, since they say it will be intended to reflect the true cost of parking. If it's $10/20,000/spot, it's definitely not a true cost reflection, but it'll also be a heck of a thing to see people dropping more on a parking spot than they dropped on the car to fill it. Then again, given the amenities here, it's almost as though they've set the table to have this first-ever in Waterloo Region low-parking/true-cost-parking building intended for the strata of customers most likely to have the highest car ownership. The amenities suggest that the cost of any kind of unit here, buy or rent, would be so high as to truly only attract choice non-car users, rather than anyone who doesn't drive due to any kind of cost concerns.
