Seen some site activity this morning when passing by. Information listing for this property available here. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 02-21-2015 Townhouse development would add at least 160 students to Lower Doon February 19, 2015 | Catherine Thompson | The Record | LINK Quote:KITCHENER — Long-term residents in Upper Doon are angry and alarmed by a proposal to build a student housing project on vacant land tucked among single-family homes near Conestoga College at almost triple the density currently allowed in the neighbourhood. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 02-21-2015 Aaah, the NIMBYism! You live near a postsecondary institution, people, those students have to go somewhere. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - DHLawrence - 02-21-2015 I wonder how many of them were renting their basements out and just had their rental values drop like a rock. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 02-22-2015 I don't know that part of town, but anything you read in the Record makes it sound like they are experiencing a smaller version of the problems that made Northdale an issue. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 03-19-2015 I will fix this post at a later time. The expansion at Grand Valley Institute has been completed. http://m.therecord.com/news-story/5516501-kitchener-prison-opens-new-minimum-security-wing/ RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - greybird - 03-21-2015 Changes at Fischer Hallman and Glasgow, the nail salon and health food store at the Glasgow end of the plaza are gone. Pizza place being cleaned out too. With empty units around the old Blockbuster Video, you wonder what's in store for the place. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - TMKM94 - 03-22-2015 There is also something happening to the fairway plaza across from Fairview Mall (Moxies/Canadian Tire Plaza) there is 2 signs on the plaza that say Kieswater demolition and it is fenced off from the old Pier 1 imports unit to the old BMO unit, there is also a sign for beat goes on that says Open during plaza facelift. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - TMKM94 - 03-24-2015 ^ Demolition has started either yesterday or Today, there is a grocery store proposed to go there according to CBRE's website.

Neat! The closest right now is Food Basics, good to see some more basic shopping go in to this area (especially with Ion on the way). RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - The85 - 04-04-2015 The WRDSB has released the rendering for the new public school to open in 2016 in the Vista Hills neighbourhood on the west side of Waterloo. Image from: http://vistahills.ca/20150317-name-new-school/ The design is rather unique and refreshing from the conventional new school design seen over the last 15 years. I hope this trend continues. The WRDSB is getting more creative with school design lately, as seen with the new Moffat Creek Public School in southeast Cambridge (opened in 2012). RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - curiouschair - 04-06-2015 Looks neat. I guess if it opens in 2016 it would mean pretty much all kids would be bused to this school. There isn't near enough houses around there to support many children. RE: General Suburban Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 04-06-2015 Wow, very creative. Particularly given that the WRDSB is not usually known for their out of the box thinking when it comes to school design.

Yeah, their architects are just now discovering cellphone design from the 1980s school of industrial design, e.g. Motorola DynaTAC |
