Isabella Residences | 11 fl | Proposed

HIP also doing the Gaslight condos in Galt correct? From what I hear, they are considered top of the game developers. I wouldn't expect less than $525 - 550 square/foot (hopefully w/ parking). Crazy crazy to think about, when some projects in the fringe of the core, downtown Toronto are advertised at $700 square/foot (I'm not referring to the core-core but your Reagant Park, Junction areas etc).

Will Kitchener-Waterloo seriously hit Etobicoke, Mississauga, North York and fringe downtown condo prices? :-O

It'll be interesting to see what interest rates do and how much that impacts prices.

Evidently from what I have been told, increased rates are good for condos and bad for the bigger single detached. In fact, possibly good for towns and semis too as those who would have preferred to get into a single detached at $600k+ will turn to the ~$500k towns and semis and drive up the price of those as well as the condo market.

This project has been approved, I really like the design of the building and am looking forward to watching it go up!

Even though my favorite reporter tries to hide his love for intensification.

Glad they approved this.  After there being some opposition to 70 King, I never know what people are thinking about development in uptown waterloo.

This development is not going to see as much opposition, because it doesn't affect the King streetscape, and doesn't have heritage neighbours.

I did not realize it was going to be physically attached to the building next door.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

Not just attached, really an extension — they will share an entire wall. It’s not just a link bridge or something like that.

Oh you're right.  I was definitely confusing that building with the one immediately to the right.

Noticed a bin on site clearing out the house currently on the property. I suppose they'll be starting this soon, then?

I'd hope so. Looking at the house last week, think the roof may give in this Winter. The one house at least is in very rough shape.
