General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

Condo rather than expanded office space at this location seems unfortunate.  Another facade to be saved?

The original plan was to add floors, and sell them as office space condo units. The early info doesn't really tell us what the new plan is.

My understanding is the office condo plan failed. The developer has been trying to sell the office condos for a while, and never managed to sell a majority. Hence their ability to sell the whole property to Van Mar. Given that, I think it's safe to say that office condos on this site are dead.

IMO I'm expecting just a facade preservation proposal, basically the only way to dig down for underground parking. But I'll be pleasantly surprised if they manage to integrate more of the existing structure.
