General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours
The former home of Waterloo Broom and Brush.


Quote:A three-storey brick building, now covered with metal siding. Originally the factory of Waterloo Broom and Brush, later home to the Kitchener Spring Company and after that other industries. The building sustained significant damage in a 1982 fire. It is now apartments.
 
The realty listing claims 67 rooms with the option for 8 more.  It's unclear whether that means 67 bachelor apartments or something else.

It would also be interesting to know what restrictions there might be on construction given that the building is likely well within the 100-year floodline for Laurel Creek which is at the rear of the property (eg the chance of being able to building underground parking, or a basement of any kind could be a challenge)
