So this is a pretty modest development. The architectural design is typically Waterloo Region (aka bad, at least from what these basic CAD renders suggest but I have little expectation it would look good when you take a moment to look at the portfolio of this firm) and the design is pretty standard as well, as are the number of 1 bedroom units and the design is a standard box. There is a large amount of parking as well, but that is expected as this is in a fairly disconnected and suburban area of the region which has very little transit coverage.
The project sits directly beside an unrelated project at 193 Water Street South which is proposed to have 5 15 floor towers. That particular development was actually approved by Cambridge council which is an incredibly rare thing to happen, so maybe, just maybe this one will also be approved? Well, after it goes through a few months of hit pieces in the local media, social media outrage from residents and council members complaining about how this would be bad.
