RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 10-02-2017 Hopefully momentum in downtown will be so strong in 2019 that strong demand for development will continue without incentives. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 10-02-2017 It will be interesting to see which projects proceed in the next two years - it seems a tricky thing to balance the financial incentives against the potential oversupply of apartments in Downtown. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 10-02-2017 Depending on how the development incentive numbers work out, it's also possible to put up a building with the expectation that for the first year or two there will be some unsold/unrented units. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - GtwoK - 10-05-2017 Some more work being done on the downtown Manulife building? Yesterday a small crew in a lift were removing miscellaneous brick from the the top floor on the Gaukel-facing side of the building. Testing for more potential windows? Or just a regular "checkup"?

Uhm... Charlie West. 26+ floors, almost sold out. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Rainrider22 - 10-08-2017 Wow. That's fantastic.

I was referring to the side with the old post office!

Or just a regular "checkup"? wait, theres a 50 storey building going up? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - DHLawrence - 10-09-2017 Will it let them clear out the rest of the coal tar, or did they get it all the first time? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - MidTowner - 10-10-2017 The house at the corner of Waterloo Street and Bismark Avenue was demolished on Friday. If I recall correctly, a duplex dwelling is planned there (it had been marketed for ages, finally sold a few weeks back). Edit: Apologies for poor picture quality. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 10-14-2017 The KW Habilitation affordable housing complex at 108 Sydney Street is well into the construction phase (currently on the third of fourth floor).

A city of Kitchener report states that the holding provision on the Wellington address should be lifted following consolidation of the two properties: Does anyone know what's happening here. Recently the house at 19 Wellington was demolished along with the structures on 624 King St W (The former Hasty Market). RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - MidTowner - 10-25-2017 I went over to Phat Cat Shawarma for lunch last week, and was surprised to find it no longer existed. The owner had been talking about opening up for weekends now that Kind was open again, so I really didn't think the building was going to come down soon... The building permit is for a three storey mixed use (yay) building at 624 King West. |
