General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[519]

Schreiter-Sandrock Funeral Home at Benton and Church Sts is closing, with its operations merged with the recently expanded Westmount Funeral Home. That could give rise to interesting development opportunities on both corners of Church St, although I would hope that the original house will be saved, whatever the future holds.

Anyone know if there's any sort of heritage designation in play here?

I could see Revel Development make a play here. I know they've bought a number of properties along Church Street with redevelopment in mind.

Protected or not, the home has some heritage value. However, I would still prefer to see a high density building to go up on that corner with perhaps a couple of small retail units on the main floor.
