130 Guelph Ave (Hespeler) | 6 fl | Proposed - bravado - 02-22-2025 A proposal for boring, normal apartments in downtown Hespeler - replacing a mostly-abandoned, crumbling building. Hespeler is uniquely resistant to new housing and I hope this project goes forward. Normal purpose-built rental apartments are so essential right now. The Guelph-Cambridge GO expansion mentioned a possible 2nd stop nearby in Hespeler, which would be a great bit of density to add near transit investments. Also: Big fan of hiding all the ugly parking behind the building, which can be closer to the street now. Double also: Architects and clients are truly anti-beauty at this point...

Its like there is a contest amongst developers in the region to see who can build the ugliest building. What a Joke.
