Charlie West is right there too, what is with this region and fetishizing 3 storey downtowns? 55 King St W is a good example. A mid-rise streetwall, then two or three steps back to get to the full height.

Kitchener, however, is pushing very hard for no more than 6 floors on King if you max out their bonusing, and preferring just 3 floors. This site isn't really deep enough to make much good use of with those restrictions. Yes, the larger lot was sold to OHM in the fall of 2016: https://www.therecord.com/news-story/6903866-vacant-kitchener-lot-sells-after-sitting-empty-for-decades/ RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 07-09-2018 The Rouge fills a black market void? Seriously? https://www.therecord.com/news-story/8730232-downtown-kitchener-dispensary-fills-a-black-market-void/ RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - robdrimmie - 07-11-2018 Since it came up the other day, I took a couple of quick pictures of the current state of the building formerly known as Budds while I was out around lunchtime. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 07-11-2018 Leisurely .... RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - robdrimmie - 07-13-2018 The building on Ontario Street across from the terminal, with Jameson's and Hasty Market and Mi Tienda Latina, got a bit of a face-lift recently. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 07-13-2018 They've renovated the Queen Street side so this goes hand in hand, I guess.

Wasn't there also a call recently for some form of community hub/centre in the neighbourhood? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - GtwoK - 07-31-2018 This is 2 years old, but I don't rememebr seeing it discussed before (though I could be wrong). Was just doing a google search for "midrise kitchener" because I needed a picture of generic-looking midrise building and thought I'd keep it local. Happened upon this. Weber & Scott. http://www.sbmltd.ca/recent-projects/-6-storey-wood-framed-kitchener-ontario RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 07-31-2018 Nasty.

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 07-31-2018 Still better than a surface parking lot, though, methinks. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Markster - 07-31-2018 Oof, takes some unfortunate design clues from this gem, but frankly I prefer it over literally nothing. |
