RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - Lens - 09-06-2015 The Uptown parkade is now sporting chain link fencing around all of its upper edges. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - Pheidippides - 10-17-2015 I've noticed that 42 erb st e (the old lcbo and current creative enterprise initiative building) is for sale. Is momentum still the current owner and does anyone know what is/was planned for the site? Perhaps relatedly the house to the west buss recently sold (the Waterloo club-which is on the move apparently). RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - Viewfromthe42 - 10-19-2015 I believe Momentum wanted/needed that space next door to make the development profitable. Having lost that battle to a newer-to-development proposal which promised the club space in the completed design, they may be trying to move on and allow someone else to work with the now-trickier space. I don't see Momentum looking at anything less than 10-storeys in the future. The 4/6/6 for their first builds may have been a financing/confidence decision, but with 1Vic and theonehundred, I think they'll not be moving on as many of the less-profitable sub-10 options, which 41 erb st e has now become. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - Section ThirtyOne - 10-27-2015 Received a flyer in the mail today, Hatashita Diamond Centre at the corner of Erb and King is closing. The owners are retiring after 65 years and liquidating their inventory. I wonder if they own the building and it will also go up for sale? They have been there a long time.

Thanks for mentioning what used to be in the Erb/King space, I couldn't recall. It is a prime corner lot, and I wonder if it will be redeveloped? RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - nms - 11-02-2015 The Record article indicated that they owned the building since 1998. The top floors are currently unoccupied. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - insider - 11-11-2015 A new coffee shop is opening next to CIBC in Uptown... I heard it's by the owners of Abe Erb but not sure. Looks pretty cool. http://settlementco.ca/ RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - timc - 11-11-2015 (11-11-2015, 11:01 AM)insider Wrote: A new coffee shop is opening next to CIBC in Uptown...

RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - GtwoK - 11-11-2015 I think it's more comparable to DVLB, honestly... which is also only 2 blocks away.

Then they could share the kitchen and food menus with wet and dry restaurant sections BTW I really miss the BBQ ribs at Abe Erb that was on their original menu. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - nms - 11-20-2015 It looks like the former Branch 530 Waterloo Legion has a new development plan, returning back to its roots as employment land. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 11-20-2015 Looks good. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 11-20-2015 This is great, hope this project goes through. RE: General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours - insider - 11-24-2015 I'm sure this will go through. Great addition, even though it's more gentrification. Slightly bigger pic: |
