General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[Bjays93]

I am definetely a fan of this. But am i wrong about this - it seems like there are dozens of proposals for this sorta thing (small lot, 5-8 storey, mixed use) that never seem to go anywhere

Also, many proposals for larger ones that never seem to go anywhere. I don't think this issue is particular to mid-rise developments.

Off the top of my head proposals that seem to have gone zombie, 588-600 Queen St S, Ontario at Weber, Avenue M, Sun Life towers, Margaret at Victoria, Isabella Residences, 168 King St S, Strata, 115 Erb St E, ...

Projects dont necessarily just disappear. (I know this isnt Toronto) but see Toronto for example. Sometimes there's really nice proposals that seem to go dark for a couple years and then all the sudden theres news. 

Other times unfortunately developers are just doing zoning excersizes to make money off flipping a property, but I would rule all those projects dead. The pandemic certainly complicates things but the region will continue to grow rapidly in the mid to long term.
