(10-21-2016, 12:50 PM)nms Wrote: Can anyone interpret what's proposed in this notice?Under the Condominium Act, there are several different types of condominiums that can be created. The most common is a 'standard condominium' (your typical condo). A vacant land condo on the other hand is more like a traditional subdivision whereby a parcel of land forms the unit (as opposed to a interior space in a standard condo). Under the Planning Act, municipalities are required to hold a public meeting for vacant land condos at least 14 days prior to a decision being made. Also, in vacant land condos, at least 1 unit has to be vacant at the time of registration. No public meeting is required for standard condos.
Quote:Notice of public meeting - 1899038 Ontario Inc., 85 Willis Way, and 95 & 115 King St. S. - Ward 7, Uptown
Date: Thursday Nov. 3, 2016
Time: 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Location: Council Chambers, 3rd Floor, Waterloo City Centre, 100 Regina St. S.
Vacant Land Condominium 30CDM-16406
1899038 Ontario Inc., 85 Willis Way, and 95 & 115 King St. S. – Ward 7, Uptown
The applicant is proposing to create a four unit vacant land condominium located at 85 Willis Way, and 95 & 115 King Street S. Units one, two and three will have mixed use commercial/office buildings, while the vacant unit will be parking unit one. The common element areas are proposed for drive aisles leading through the site to on and off site parking.
We encourage the public to provide comment on this condominium application. Individuals may submit written/electronic comments prior to the public meeting. The public is informed and notified that names, addresses and comments may be made public. Olga Smith, city clerk, City of Waterloo.
For further information regarding the above matter, please contact the City of Waterloo Integrated Planning and Public Works, 2nd Floor, Waterloo City Centre, Waterloo, Ontario, by calling Danielle Ingram at 519.747.8773, or by email at danielle.ingram@waterloo.ca and/or The Regional Municipality of Waterloo, Planning, Development, and Legislative Services, 150 Frederick Street, Kitchener, by calling Wendy Fisher at 519.575.4014, or by email at [email=%20wfisher@regionofwaterloo.ca]wfisher@regionofwaterloo.ca[/email]
In this case, it looks like they are making the new building and the existing 2 buildings on king units in the vacant land condo, and the off-street parking will be the fourth and vacant unit. This will allow each building to be on separate title/PIN while remaining on the same property. Advantages to this are usually mortgage/financial purposes. The developer could also sell the existing 2 buildings on King Street to finance the new building, while still retaining control of the whole property through a future condo corporation.

Thanks! We'll see what happens.

9PM tonight and there are two guys on machines skimming a fresh concrete pour for the main floor. Strange timing, but there does appear to be progress!

Lots of structural steel going up by mobile crane the last two days.

Oh yeah, I guess I could cross post this image from the ION thread:
It was from Sunday.

They were making rapid progress with the iron works here. In the process of an hour they went from this:
to nearly finished.
RE: The Shops | ?m | 3fl | U/C - jwilliamson - 11-02-2016
Still making quick progress here.
RE: The Shops | ?m | 3fl | U/C - jwilliamson - 11-09-2016
They were putting concrete panels faced with brick on what looks like an interior hallway. Concrete slabs for the second floor were also going up.
RE: The Shops | ?m | 3fl | U/C - modernizt - 11-10-2016
It's a real shame they're using precast panels that mimic brick instead of actual brick. Based on the steel frame with precast concrete floor slabs, and that cladding choice, I suspect that the new owners of Waterloo Town Square / The Shops are not allowing the budget for new construction that First Gulf was previously.
RE: The Shops | ?m | 3fl | U/C - Coke6pk - 11-11-2016
(Stupid?) question about those pre-fab floors.... are the hollow "tubes" through them just to lower the weight of those panels, or are they actually used for some purpose? (Heated floors? Running wire/plumbing?)

Post-tensioning maybe?
RE: The Shops | ?m | 3fl | U/C - Viewfromthe42 - 11-11-2016
Weight reduction, for transportation and overall material cost. They can be used as conduits for anything, even air, if properly prepared.
RE: The Shops | ?m | 3fl | U/C - jwilliamson - 11-24-2016
The third floor has been going up this week.

I was working in a student residence highrise U/C. Main contractor was going around drilling the slabs near the edges of the building to release water that got trapped inside. They can hold an unbelievable amount of water.
