Close to University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and Conestoga College

Uh... what?

Conestoga College on University Ave E, perchance?

Conestoga College on University Ave E, perchance?

The development in question is near Lackner and Ottawa. It isn’t “near” any of the listed post-secondary institutions.

I guess it's closer to those than it is to Guelph.

Apparently they didn't have Google maps

Lackner Ridge has broke ground.

I guess if you compare it to a downtown Toronto condo, it is close to those schools....

So, this is basically a distribution facility for last-mile deliveries? Do those currently come from Mississauga?

A lot of the GO Logistics deliveries come out of Georgetown.

Crews battle fire at Kitchener townhouse development

Has there been any discussion about the City of Waterloo's proposal to declare some extra land next to RIM Park surplus and open to development? They are formally known as the Kraus Lands. From the City's decription:

The Former Kraus Lands (referred to as "the lands") are located on University Avenue East adjacent to the fire station at 911 University Avenue East. The lands are approximately 13.29 hectares (33 acres) in size. It is bounded by University Avenue East to the west, the Walter Bean Trail to the north, the Grand River is located to the east and a private property to the south.

The sale of the lands provides an opportunity to create additional residential and commercial development on the east side of the city. The lands are generally flat and there are no buildings or structures on site, with the subject lands being currently vacant. The surrounding lands are serviced by a bus route, and have amenities of the Grey Silo Golf Course and the RIM Park Manulife Sportsplex.

It would be nice to have some mix of different type of buildings here and not all SFH.
