Yes ... and the combination of those properties makes for a nice development opportunity, but the demolition permits are all that's in the system at this point.

Doesn't there need to be some sort of site plan in the works to get demolition approval?

That's kind of annoying. I struggle with that. In one sense, sure you own it, so you make the call, but on the other side of the coin we can't have vacant lots everywhere

Not only are you able to demolish a building and leave the land empty, our tax regime incentivizes you to do so- obviously the assessed value of vacant land is less.
Until this year, the Region (along with many other Ontario municipalities) had a vacant property tax rebate that reduced the taxation on commercial units that weren't put to use.

It’s not as easy as it looks to control a market by outlawing symptoms.

The regional and city (of Kitchener) tax rates are still lower for vacant lots, but it's now only 20% difference, much smaller than before. https://www.kitchener.ca/en/resourcesGen...x_Rate.pdf

It looks like there are some interior renovations happening in the former Legacy Greens space on King St.

I hope they keep the old barn style and roll up doors in place !!

Did we get any word on what it may turn into after all?

Glad to see it is getting some love, such an interesting building design.
I too am interested in knowing what is going into the space.

The only other item I remember in relation to 130 Victoria St S besides a 2016 Record article is this post by Masri O Architects (August 30, 2017)
