RE: The Uptown - bpoland - 02-28-2018
Yeah i just laughed when I saw the name... makes zero sense.
RE: The Uptown - Watdot - 02-28-2018
Or the owners are clueless. People saying "Downtown Waterloo" drives me nuts. Uptown Waterloo is the city center district... officially!!
RE: The Uptown - timc - 02-28-2018
Unless you look at the sign on the highway, which says "Waterloo City Centre".

Pretty interesting views in that video. Still don't quite get why all the dirt is being moved (or if it's being added or taken away)?

The project's website is down, not sure what that means.
Also noticed that beside this project is a similar project sign out front for a "professional medical building".

Work on site appears to have come to a halt, no work or equipment has been spotted for weeks now, if not months. Wonder what's going on!

Maybe someone finally informed them where Uptown is.
RE: The Uptown - JCnb - 07-26-2018
Sounds like the owners ran into money issues, hope to see the project start back up again soon under new ownership.

RE: The Uptown - jwilliamson - 07-26-2018
Hopefully a new name as well.
RE: The Uptown - GtwoK - 06-17-2019
Construction vehicles moving around on site again today, hopefully this is starting back up after a year-long delay
RE: The Uptown - timc - 06-20-2019
It looks like this does have a new name

Nice catch, I'll update

Well that's certainly a major aesthetic downgrade compared to what is on the first page.
RE: Hygate - GtwoK - 06-21-2019
It IS, but honestly, I'd say it fits with the area more. It's right next to the highway, next to a nursing home, and across from the burbs. The previous render had "lakeshore nightlife" vibes, which didnt really suit the neighbourhood at all
RE: Hygate - rangersfan - 06-21-2019
Certainly an aesthetic downgrade ( I like that phrasing) , as for the name anything other than the old name makes more sense.
