General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[plam]

A good conversation with the owners should involve them talking to their landlord about that possibility, and how you could have, on one side, an entire membership which wants the combined road/transit/cycling access of that site now railing against the development at council (...)

I suspect the developer who buys the parcel we are discussing is unlikely to be the same as the owner of the GRR building.  Which also means that the developer will have little control over what happens in the GRR building, regardless of any mass demonstrations at council meetings.

I think we're talking at cross purposes here. The GRR property is not currently for sale; it is the property that is diagonally across Charles and Borden that is currently for sale. I'm just thinking that in the future, there is going to be a developer that is going to see the GRR property and is going to make an offer. While the GRR owners think they have a good relationship with the landlord, it's hard to argue with a multi-million-dollar offer.

I'd think that in the ideal case, the GRR owners would buy out the property.
