Looks like they cancelled it due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. What a shame, that area really needed something. I'm sure in the future someone else will gladly build there, it's in such a good location.
Edit: Wow, I had no idea they were marketing these to artists. From the article:

Edit: Wow, I had no idea they were marketing these to artists. From the article:
- The development was unusual in that the project was marketed for its ties to local arts and culture, and was “unprecedented” in that the developer had partnered with at least three major arts organizations — the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, the Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery and the Kitchener Public Library — to ensure the project was linked with culture.
- “Activa wanted to say from the beginning that arts and culture was a big deal for this development,” said Andrew Bennett, executive director of the symphony. The project’s marketing prominently played up the fact that the units were an easy walk to all three arts facilities. One sales event featured a string quartet, and tickets to arts events were offered to those who bought units.
- The arrangement was also beneficial for the arts groups, Bennett said, since the condos were potentially bringing new customers for the arts organizations.
