The Waterloo Public Library has some of its image archives online and I was able to find a copy of the Waterloo Chronicle from 20 April 1977 that included an article describing the mall which includes:
Quote:The project, to be called King Centre, includes a retail mall, Robinson's department store, a super-market, drug store, parking garage and office building.
The multi-million dollar project would have its main entrance on King Street where the Dunker building now stands.
Except for the office tower, the project will be low-rise -- two storeys on King Street and three storeys on Charles Street. The office tower will extend 12 feet above the Canada Trust building on the corner of King and Water Streets.
