RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - Lens - 02-09-2022 Likely the old LCBO project, no?

More or less - I suspect that the person was trying for a more elevated way of saying "partiers". Not that it makes the argument any sillier.

That fair a lot of people think they live in Elmore City. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - nms - 02-24-2022 This one flew under the radar. 216 King St S is now painted white and called "Maisonettes Waterloo". 7 units, fully rented. I found one listing for ~800 square feet renting for $1800. I wonder where those who were previously living there have now gone as I imagine they were renovicted.

I’m only asking because on Streetview it looks like there are 5 doors so if it’s 7 I’m curious where the other entrances are. It would be interesting to know the owner’s strategy. There have been several cases of nearby properties being demolished and replaced by much larger medium rise buildings but in this case it seems they’ve just renovated the existing building.

It looks like there might be a couple of entrances at the rear off Dodds Ln. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 02-24-2022 I’ve always liked that building. Too bad they painted the brick. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - ijmorlan - 02-24-2022 (02-24-2022, 08:41 PM)Acitta Wrote:(02-24-2022, 08:26 PM)ijmorlan Wrote: 7 or 5 units?

I should have checked already: https://goo.gl/maps/3CFiFXhVF4GB12i5A Indeed, looks like there are 2 doors at the back. I wonder what the basement is? It’s not obvious that any of the doors lead to basement apartments. Of course it doesn’t have to be the same now; and the basement could also be split between the main floor units. Now I want to see if those garages are still there. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - jwilliamson - 03-03-2022 34 Laurel St (the ugly corrugated steel building) is up for sale. Zoned for 18 storeys. Hopefully we'll be seeing a new project here. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 03-03-2022 I'm guessing there's some 60s/70s brick under that, which had weatherproofing issues so was covered with this stuff? Ugh. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - danbrotherston - 03-03-2022 It's like the best looking corrugated steel building on the block. I don't really know what's up with that street, it has a lot of rough looking places on it.

Ugh. It's brick, yes -- but from 1906. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 03-03-2022 About time. That old building looks like a miniature prison. Probably zero chance you see an 18 floor building there because it's in Waterloo, though, but it would be a decent spot for something mid rise residential. |
