I managed to find some information about both of those projects.
The Weber/Scott/Pearl Place one is for sale as mentioned and already zoned and approved for 11 floors (10 residential and 1 commercial). According to this article it was first planned to be 20 floors back in 2001 and over time shrunk. Current sale info can be found here. There's currently a really nice brutalist office building on this land owned by EIWO Canadian Management (who, if I recall, had a plan for a rather large office tower nearby many years ago) that must be included in the purchase. It's a rather are example of brutalist architecture in Waterloo Region though I doubt it would be preserved once purchased.
The adjacent Weber/Scott plot beside the courthouse once had an approved (at least according to this old SSP thread) plan for a 12 floor residential building and surface lot by Impulse Development Group which doesn't seem to exist any more. Here is an archived version of the page that once listed it. I guess whoever owns the land now is just sitting on it.
Since both of these parcels of land are zoned for high rise development, someone will surely go ahead with something eventually. Given how dense the area has always been with office towers and civic buildings, it would be a welcome addition.
