General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

This project now has a name: Amber & Oak. 45 Rental suites at 70 Short St, Waterloo.  Brought to you by Spurline Developments.  Units range from 338 sq t (Studio) to 794 sq ft (1 Bedroom + den)

Yikes those floor plans are tiny! To be fair they call them “purposefully crafted” in the brochure, but they omit saying the purpose is to maximize profit, not liveability.
