RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lebronj23 - 11-29-2022 (11-29-2022, 12:58 PM)ac3r Wrote: IMO I'd wait until we at least know what's going in there and create a thread accordingly (listing address, building height and proposal) once it's announced. Problem with starting a thread early is that you get pages of speculation, then a project is announced and buried in the middle of the thread since it's not often the OP post gets updated. It makes things confusing to find for people. Agreed. City staff said they anticipate the submission early in the new year. This needs a ZBA so we will get all the docs and specs available to us. Unlike 10 Duke st which we know nothing about. But who knows when they will start selling given the market situation RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Acitta - 12-16-2022 Councillors approve developments with hundreds of new apartments, condos across Kitchener Projects include multiple highrises, some deeply affordable units
One little quibble, the article claims that the Duke/Madison project is 2 minutes walk from Kitchener Market Station. Seems a bit short to me. Google Maps says 5 minutes. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - CP42 - 12-27-2022 Vacant lot at 225 King St W is for sale: https://realtor.ca/real-estate/25150676/225-king-st-w-kitchener?utm_source=consumerapp&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialsharelisting RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 12-27-2022 (12-27-2022, 02:17 PM)CP42 Wrote: Vacant lot at 225 King St W is for sale: It's small but substantially bigger than 271 King St E, so it would certainly work for a small apartment building with a retail unit on the ground floor. I do think the maximum floor plate, even with a substantial variance, would be too small to be attractive for office space. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 12-27-2022 Please, please, please, somebody buy it and build something (anything!) there.

It would still leave a roughly 6m (20') gap between the new building and King Centre Manulife Google whatever, but I think that's quite acceptable if we can get a building on the bigger property in that gap.

When you say something nice, do you mean architecturally nice or tall building nice. Blink once if it’s the former and blink twice if it’s the latter RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - jmrappolt - 12-29-2022 Looks like they've added planters and flexible bollards on Gaukel between Charles and Halls Lane. Wish it would continue all the way to King but still looks pretty good IMO.

In the Freshco plaza. It's been vacant for years, after the gas station moved out. It looks like it could be a boring medical office. Hoping for something more.

It's been vacant for years, after the gas station moved out. It's a new commerical building being built by Copper Bay Homes, its one of their first commercial projects, most of there other projects are just custom single family homes with a few multi residential buildings. The permit is 22108001, it says "Permit is for the shell only for a retail drug store and professional offices building." So chances are there are going to be some medical offices within the building as you suspect.

Actually, since I live close to there, it will be nice being close to a Rexall that is less chaotic than the one on Highland. I am guessing a Rexall. There is an IDA already in that plaza but selection is poor there. |
