A townhouse development proposal went to the heritage committee this week for this property, which formerly housed the original Schneider's butchery. From the Record article:
There are some basic renderings and a site plan on the City of Kitchener website. All in all, this development looks fine, and will add a good amount of new housing to a very under-utilized property. That said, I would have preferred a development with a bit more density like they are doing at 45 Courtland a couple doors down.
Quote:Developer Cantiro wants to redevelop the property at 63 Courtland Ave. E. with 67 townhouses in six new buildings.
An additional 14 apartments would be located within the retained portion of the two-storey red brick building that was used as a factory by Schneider from about 1909 to 1925, until the company moved to a larger nearby plant on Courtland Avenue
