Waterloo Corporate Campus

[MidTowner]

It's hard to say without better renders, but it doesn't seem that bad. The buildings are at least abutting the street, which is a major improvement over other projects. The major question, though, is whether they face the street or not.

I work on Northfield and pass this site most days. I have hopes, but they're not high. Something tells me that the buildings near the street (which still have a pretty big setback) are going to be those creepy faux facades that are not actually the entrances to the buildings. We'll see.

It looks like some progress, what with (some of) the parking behind the buildings. I don't think it's going to be too good on balance, though. The proof will be in the pudding: how degrading and dangerous will be the walk from Weber to the new grocery store?
