University of Waterloo has announced what they're calling Innovation Arena. This article doesn't explicitly say where it is, but it talks about a University-owned warehouse at Joseph and Victoria, and the hero image is of a long rectangle. My guess is that it will be built at 280 Joseph St, the old warehouse that is beside that triangle space.

Located at the corner of Victoria and Joseph Streets, the 90,000-square-foot building will be the new home of Velocity, Waterloo’s signature entrepreneurship program.
Yeah I didn't think that section was necessarily included in that plan/development and indeed that warehouse is the one that is being renovated. Though perhaps the University is planning to clear up that whole area, which would be welcome.
