If I had to pick a side it would be Momentum.
Momentum has shown what it can do and in a timely fashion. Momentum is planning to build One Hundred. It is building One Victoria. It has built the Red Condominium, FortyTwo, and the BPR Lofts.
So far as I know (and I could be really wrong here), Owen and the Lakeshore Group have not done anything in the Region of Waterloo. Their first(?) foray into this region is to go to the OMB to demand changes to One Hundred. That just doesn't look good. Perhaps if they showed some renders of what they would like to build I could warm up to their proposal(s). As it is, are we supposed to be sympathetic to what they may or may not be able to do?
If Owen and the Lakeshore Group want to intensify development along the LRT I wish them well. But please show me what you have in mind, other than an OMB challenge.
By the way, I want to welcome Owen to WRC.
