Not in Waterloo Region, but the LRT impact is very similar. This is in Tampere, Finland -- a similar-sized city -- and shows multi-residential construction completed near their LRT lane since the decision to build the line was approved in 2016. (I would argue that 2017 buildings were started well before the decision but I'm picking nits.) An estimated 13,000 people in the new buildings.
The first phase was 16 km, roughly similar to the ION. The dashed portion of the line is phase 2, currently under construction.
