I really hope it ends up being called Hot Dog Developments.

I was watching the Regional Council meeting about development charges and someone had a new? render of this development. Two buildings I counted, 1 as 35 stories and another at 30!
Only thing is construction not starting till 2022 or (2024+ if this new higher development charge is approved)

Post 2024 sounds about right, I should think, although one would hope that at least the office building will be refurbished prior to that.
Towers of that height would surprise me on that site - did you notice whether they were being shown on the Borden Ave side (ie. closer to ION) or up at the other end of the site?

I think that piece overstates the influence that the nearby communities can have on this development - they are not influential nor, as far as I know, are they well-organized, although that could change. I'm also a bit sceptical that Auburn's track record inspires great confidence in whatever they may have planned, although of course I'll be happy to be wrong about that.

A piece from the kitchener Post, Nimby warning.

It's honestly not so bad. But the author is either taking this person severely out of context, or this person has more or less contradicted themselves.
At the beginning, the quote: "It's a scary idea." At the end: "We're trying to stay positive."

Two different people; the first comment was made by Karen Taylor-Harrison, a former councillor and the last comment was made by Joanne DeSouza, the current Facilitator at Mill-Courtland Community Centre. Any no matter where you go, you'll always have NIMBY's, is the rite of passage in Kitchener. |
