The article suggests that half of that might be built out in the first phase. It will be a very big deal for King West through to the municipal boundary to have those kinds of new residents. Hopefully a timeline for this will mean that proposals like the one at Wellington, and sites like the former McDonald’s, can go forward sooner, and have a stronger rationale for mixed-use.
Could it not also have the opposite effect, including for commercial development at the transportation hub (although that's probably for the 2020s in any event)? The Kitchener market can only absorb so much, I would have thought.
