General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[Spokes]

Not sure which thread this belongs in, but given the  nature of the companies in the innovation district - tech, start ups, software etc., any word on who is coming I to the soon to be Manulife employee free massive brown building next door to Charlie West? I wonder if that will undergo major renos.

That entire (now vacant) site is under consideration for redevelopment. Manulife proposed a two phase project earlier this year on one of their parking lots, but are now in the midst of planning a mega redevelopment or selling their land, plans, and rezoning to a new developer, similar to what happened with SIXO.

Oh wow.  Like they would redevelop the entire old King Center property that they were using as offices?  

I can't imagine someone who bought it would want to do so with the intention of demolition, but it is a HUGE chunk of land.

EDIT:  I'm going to move this over to the General Urban Kitchener thread
