General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours
(03-29-2016, 01:29 PM)MidTowner Wrote: From the Record: City, diocese still in talks over fate of Sacred Heart convent

To be honest, from all of the fanfare surrounding Google taking occupancy of its new offices a five minute walk down Moore, I felt sure that the next we would hear of this was that the diocese planned on trying to sever this building and selling it to someone to renovate for office space. With hundreds of workers at Breithaupt Block and the supposedly high demand for character office space by tech start-ups, it seems odd that the debate would still be between affordable housing, and parking spots.

I wonder if the diocese has some internal opposition to selling off assets, even non-functioning ones. The twenty parking spaces are not the issue: that would not go very far towards meeting the church's parking demands, which are fully met now by the rather large lot behind the school next door.

I wouldn't see office space at that location.  Some sort of conversion to affordable housing would seem a better use to me.
