RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Joedelay Highhoe - 09-22-2022 83-93 ONTARIO STREET SOUTH was originally developed in 1925 per https://www.lrcsde.lrc.gov.on.ca/BFISWebPublic/pub/viewDocument.action?attachmentId=59619&fileName=CSM.pdf RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-22-2022 Ahh, thanks. I figured it would be from around then.

Mea culpa! RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Acitta - 09-27-2022 Council clears way for more diverse housing By approving several official plan and zoning bylaw amendment applications, Kitchener Council has cleared the way for more diverse housing in different parts of the city including central neighbourhoods and Ottawa Street South areas; more affordable housing near Fairview Mall; and new high-rise construction at the edge of the core near King Street East and Highway 8. [b]The approvals will allow developers to build: [/b]
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-27-2022 It's honestly like night and day when comparing the choices Kitchener makes compared to Waterloo and Cambridge. Glad to hear this news. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-27-2022 There's a 3 floor, 22 unit affordable housing project coming to 75 Charles Street East. Not sure if that means it'll share the property with the existing building or not. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 09-27-2022 Is that 166 units at Mill and Ottawa a partial approval for the big new project we have already discussed here? Or something else?

I think that's part of the House of Friendship project: https://www.waterlooregionconnected.com/showthread.php?tid=1637 Happy to see that proceeding. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 10-10-2022 The stacked townhouse project on Sydney St N is looking pretty good (third photo is from the church parking lot behind the project). I think stacked townhouses are effectively today's equivalent to the three-storey walk-up apartments. 36 units is good density here. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 10-10-2022 Construction is under way at 293 King St E. Three (narrow!) stories, retail on the bottom and residential on the top two. Concrete block construction should see this one finished relatively quickly.

Great, it's always good to see a gap in the streetwall get filled. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 10-11-2022 Thanks for all of the photo updates from this weekend Tom! RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 10-13-2022 Some small updates. I won't start any threads since there isn't much to say about these yet. But...

But... The entire Sportsworld Crossing should be redeveloped sooner rather than later. WHAT A FAIL. Currently for retail in the inner building there's Hockey Life and a Halloween Store. The Water Park was a much much bigger draw to the area! RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 10-13-2022 Yeah the area sucks and is a wasteland of failed businesses (with a few good ones that have been there for a while such as Costco, Home Depot, Value Village and some smaller ones). Thankfully it's slowly being redeveloped ahead of the Cambridge LRT line. There's the one mentioned above, 4220 King Street East and 4396 King Street East being proposed for the area. |
