From a neighbourhood meeting scheduled for June 6th.

City of Kitchener has received applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the property located at 50 Borden Ave S. The applicant is proposing to the develop the property with a mixed-use development consisting of two towers (57 storeys and 51 storeys in height) having 1,224 dwelling units and 7,240 m2 of commercial and institutional space. Site-specific regulations propose a Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 16.1, a reduced rear yard setback, and a parking reduction to permit 618 parking spaces.
Zoning change is marked on the development map but not yet updated with the documents/renders/developer. Will post documents once they are available.
They were doing soil samples on this site a few months ago so it was just a matter of time before something like this comes along. It'll be interesting to see what comes of Grand River Rocks since they're not going to be able to stay since this is that property. It's a pretty decent location for densification considering it is immediately next to Borden station and numerous future 30+ floor buildings.
