General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

There will be a meeting at City Council Monday March 5th for a presentation and questions.

14 and 22 storey towers on a common podium of parking, with 4 floor podium on king, 6 floor podium at Regina, one floor of those is office/amenity, rest are parking, and they don't seem to heed the maxim of the recent Perimeter article, where they said they wouldn't make the Eaton's lofts ground floor into office, because "office deadens the street".

263 units, 335 bedrooms (1 and 2 only). They need the max building height within 30m of King to be upped from 16m to 58m, FSR from 4 to slightly over 12, and density from 250 units/ha to over 570.

I've seen it. The towers are slabs. But overall not bad, good intensification.
