10 years?
Before the LRT, I'd say 20. Now I'd tend towards five.
I think 10 years is realistic - its a great location, but there is a lot of space closer to the ion station that could be developed first.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - artembunglito - 09-17-2018
I saw on the city of kitchener's instagram page that they created a poster that has all future projects planned DTK, as a celebration of city hall's birthday or something. Can someone go to city hall tomorrow and take a panorama of it? It should be at the bottom of the stairs, on the main floor. I'd do it but I'm out of town.
I saved the video just in case. The picture shows something interesting by 100 victoria. Looks like 7+ midrise condos there?

Artist concept only or something in the works? ?

Wouldn't that be the garment district project?

The Garment Street development is shown at D and labelled as Huck Glove, an older name for the project taken from the heritage building at Victoria and Bramm.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 09-17-2018
The garment street project is only an office and residential tower. Nothing behind it.
I wonder if they just included it for what could be.
Like others have said, the city still owns it. I wonder what they'll do with it.

Another snapshot of the video showing the manulife condo, city centre phase 2 and charlie west
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - danbrotherston - 09-17-2018
Oh, I understand the map now, yes, that would be an interesting change, that's currently the parking lot, but the trail is planned to go along there. Certainly would be an improvement.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 09-18-2018
artembunglito thanks for posting those pictures. This is the first time I have seen any image of the Manulife project. The artist shows almost that whole block getting filled up.
Also the transit hub images I assume must be just concepts at this stage and not the actual project?
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 09-18-2018
I wish there were digital versions of this floating around

King and Wellington render from the "ION Attracts" map.

And one from ABA Architects from a few years ago:

Hmmm so that's still alive? Interesting
Is there a PDF somewhere of ION attracts?

No PDF, but here is the web link : https://rmw.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapTour/index.html?appid=9d7a3040fc104f7ca6ecae1c0b0aabec
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 09-18-2018
Thanks!!
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 09-19-2018
It's interesting that the Ion Attracts map does not list Virerra Village project.
