General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

I would bet that the walls don't conform to the current building code (been there, done that, with a commercial building of similar age), and punching holes in them for windows would add substantial extra costs for reinforcing the walls.

For what it's worth, the main floor windows on the side semi-facing the trail are new, and were punched out.

The plaza will look a little better once the stores get signage up, but yeah, it's relatively uninspiring.

I find this plaza to be a bit of an exemplar of Waterloo culture. An upper-middle-class fitness store, close to Uptown, lots of parking, kinda bland and uninspired...
Also, ha, The Running Room: lots of parking so you can easily drive there for going on your run.
