Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District
#50
City heritage planners are recommending to the Heritage Committee that Kitchener allow the demolition of the former Sears building, despite its heritage significance (it is not a heritage listed property).

Heritage significance? ""(A) unique example of the Kennedy Era International style of architecture in the area," and because the construction of the mall marked the beginning of the move away from downtown retail shopping." Sometimes being a fine building is just not enough ...

Demolition could apparently take place as early as mid-December, according to a piece in today's Record.
