General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[MidTowner]

I've never read anything official saying the building is in danger of collapse, or unsafe, or impossible or difficult to rehabilitate. As a non-expert in building and construction, I have no real idea of how much it might cost to bring it up to snuff, or if that's possible. When I say "it's got a building that needs to be demolished," I admit that it's based on anecdotal evidence from neighbours who have been inside (none lately) or talked to city staff in closer detail about this. To me, it looks in bad shape, but I don't know.

So, I guess it's a case of the building potentially having value, or the building potentially being a liability. Hopefully during this sale, prospective buyers are at least allowed on site (which wasn't the case last time) to try to assess that for themselves.
