Where exactly is 'tent city'?


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 07-02-2019

A homeless camp that has been behind the Schneiders site for well over a year or two: https://www.therecord.com/news-story/9482482-tent-city-dwellers-slow-to-leave-as-eviction-looms-this-week/

There are two new houses well under construction at 239 and 241 Wellington St N.

It's possible I've missed info about it, but does anyone know what's happening at 104 Ontario St N (Duke/Ontario). The building is in the process of being demoed.


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lens - 08-10-2019

Demo permit was applied for by SALTER PILON ARCHITECTURE INC. so maybe something is being built??

I want to say that a parking lot expansion seemed more likely, but then why would an architectural firm be applying for the permit.  The site belongs to the Church?  The school?  The city?


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 08-10-2019

The site is privately owned tot he best of my knowledge - for the longest time it was a dentist's office, then had a few years as a community organization's office.


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 08-10-2019

Well, it would certainly be interesting to see a new commercial building go up on the site, given how much Ontario St has improved in recent years.

This pic is from the Duke Street side:

This has now been filled in, there's a pad of concrete running parallel to street directly in the middle. I'd assume it must be a tunnel of some sort? Is there an underground floor of the parking garage that the Duke/Queen building is now connected to through this tunnel?

Almost there now. I like how this looks, and the contrast with the red brick is good.

Do I recall correctly that there's to be a wine bar/restaurant located there?


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 08-13-2019

That's a cool blend of styles

That's what I recall, from some post earlier in this thread.


RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 08-14-2019

That is coming along great.
