Developers in Vaughan, Markham or Mississauga would build something of this quality, but never KWC. I could see this area getting developed in the future. The Ontario seed company building, the old curling club/ Badminton club and even the AirBoss (Dominion Tire) factory if it ever decided to move or close, would all be great locations for mixed use developments.
Are the old Granite Club building and at least parts of the old Dominion Tire building not designated heritage structures? They should be, if they are not.
The old Granite Club building was designated as heritage at the January 7th Heritage Kitchener meeting.

The Airboss building isn't designated yet, it wouldn't be all that surprising if they're actively working on the designation though.
The entire swath of land from King to Belmont north of the tracks is all SGA 4 zoning in Growing Together so there's definitely potential for projects of that magnitude. I wouldn't say developers won't build to that quality, there's a couple prominent GTA developers who have been looking at KW and they don't skimp on cladding. Even that rendering screams spandrel nightmare so it's not necessarily a good design.
