RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-27-2023 Somewhere in this thread there's a render of what a 30 floor building on that site would look like. It was just made up to facilitate sale of the property, but it gives you an idea of how density there would appear. No idea what page it is on though. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lens - 09-27-2023 Possible to go up to 50+ at that location, saw a concept site plan years ago. Lots of stacked parking but pretty good for a tight lot. Would be a great use for a station adjacent parcel. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - nms - 09-27-2023 And where will the 17 existing tenants at 96 Duke St end up? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 09-27-2023 It's an odd little property, being between the church and what had been a Catholic high school before getting repurposed. Was it owned by the church or Catholic board?

If the city ends up passing the the growing together plan in its current form there wouldn't even be a requirement for any parking on the property and the property would be zoned for unlimited FSR and height so there is definitely the possibility for something very significant. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lebronj23 - 09-27-2023 Here is a marketing video for the sale. It indicates no height limit so a zoning change I don’t think is necessary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OcQPh5u___Y RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ZEBuilder - 10-14-2023 (04-15-2023, 11:08 AM)LesPio Wrote: 624 KING ST W - Property for Sale - King & Wellington - Looks like previous projects for this site will not be going forward...maybe something better Not to disappoint anyone who was hoping for a flatiron like building on the site but another developer has bought this property and appears to be going ahead with the previously approved plan. There is a shoring rig on site as well as a excavator and a bunch of survey stakes that I don't remember seeing before. There are no new permit applications so any work they're doing is purely from the previous issued permit (4 and 3 floor building).

I Would Expect Rather Expensive (Though Not Large) Units If They Do Indeed Proceed With This Plan.

Sounds like any rental not involving a large landlord. I have no idea how this is even legal. Not just those from India, but those from other countries as well (seeing this on FB Marketplace). Yet, society seems 100% ok with racism, just as long as you're not a white male.

I discussed this in my racism thread, but most of these are actually people looking for roommates, and I don't think it's unreasonable and it's probably not even illegal for people to be choosy and biased about who their roommates are. That being said, I really am tired of the "society seems 100% ok with racism, as long as you're not a white male"...it's such a blatantly false claim. Leaving aside the general imbalance in power, it is the case that white males getting in trouble are notable explicitly because it is rare when they are punished for racism (and sexism). And in fact, people of visible minorities often have to be above perfect in order not to suffer consequences. Think for example, how many white men in board rooms can get away with making racial jokes...do you think that black men could get away with the same behaviour. If you really think so, you should investigate why you think so, because the reality is the opposite.

I am not referring to people looking for roommates of a certain kind. I am referring to homes (whole houses), condos, apartment (small buildings) looking for Indian families of certain castes or Chinese families. This is not something that falls in line of being "reasonable" but indeed is super racist. FaceBook does a decent job of deleting these posts for violating terms of service, but they continue to pop up. And it's not 'false' that it's OK to be racist if you're not a white male. It happens, and it's sad. My opinion is that everyone can be, and is, racist. At least I can speak from a 'non-white' point of view, being my heritage in indigenous, on my father's side. As for boardrooms, I have no idea what you're talking about. At least where I work, any sort of racism isn't tolerated. Doesn't matter what your background is. |
