General University Area Updates and Rumours
36-42 University Ave E: This a premium location for student housing, only about 100m from WLU.  Currently the property has fairly recent low-rise student apartments in a 5-bedroom configuration.  A 7-story mid-rise building will probably have at least 3-4x the occupancy of the current property. It appears that NKL believes there is still opportunity in student housing, but hopefully they'll choose a more flexible layout than the 5-bedroom units.

175 Weber St N: This is on the edge of older suburban residential and the commercial strip on Weber St.  Definitely not a (pleasantly) walkable location at the moment, and not so close to LRT, but maybe this will start nudging Weber St development in a more urban direction.  Probably student-oriented again but hopefully flexible for other uses as well.
