General Suburban Updates and Rumours

Any word on a development at Northfield and Kraus in Waterloo (across from the Keg)?
A sizeable portion of the parking lot of the existing apartment building that is fairly set back from the road is fenced off with construction signage. Seems a bit aggressive just to work on the parking lot, but I'm not sure.
I believe the signs on the fence were for Melloul Blamey Construction.

Construction fencing is up to build a new nine-storey apartment building at the southeast corner of Northfield Drive East and Kraus Drive in Waterloo, near Conestoga Mall.
The development that will contain 161 units and 237 bedrooms will be situated on what is now a large, underused parking lot across the street from the plaza with The Keg and Burger King on the north side of Northfield.
The new building will be known as 611 Davenport Rd., on property including two existing six-storey apartment buildings — 605 and 609 Davenport Rd. — that are controlled by the same developer, Avila Investments Ltd.
