Duke Tower Kitchener | 39 fl | completed

[ac3r]

Charlie West will look the best. In comparison to Duke Tower, it'll look significantly better. IN8 Developments is behind Duke Tower and they and their architects are mediocre at best. Their only other significant work was the Sage Condos scattered around Waterloo, and they're not the nicest buildings.

Agreed those Sage Buildings are horrendous at times. I feel like the best developer in town at the moment is HIP Developments they seem to produce the best quality buildings that don't rely on stucco, which IMHO is possible the worst building material imaginable. Not that The Duke tower will have stucco.

I was going to say Zehr/Perimeter as well. Most credit goes to ABA Architects as they're the ones designing the buildings, but overall they both seem to handle the most major projects in the city.

HIP have been doing good work lately as well, though. They tend to rely on Martin Simmons Architects, who are IMO the best firm the region has. The quality of their work is exceptional when you get down to the tiny details of the structures (aesthetic and technical design, atmosphere, materials etc).
