I can’t say that I approve of townhouses on Weber St. Shouldn’t there be the possibility of commercial along there?

Definitely just a render that was made to facilitate the property sale

Certainly shows the potential for that parcel, at least.

35 storeys with a nice crown on the top in Waterloo? In our dreams

It looks like slimmer towers and a bigger footprint.
RE: 435 King St North | 25 fl | Proposed - Lebronj23 - 06-05-2023
It appears this render was part of a resubmission.
Now 13 towers with the tallest being 35 storeys.

Generic Blue and Grey. I wonder if this is more a rezoning exercise then anything. Also Disappointed that Blue Springs drive is not a continuous through street from king to Weber. Seems like a missed opportunity to fix the poorly planned road network in that area.

I imagine that's on purpose. They probably don't want it becoming a major through-way for people getting to/from the highway. There is a MUT planned to go from King to Weber next to the highway as an extension of the Forwell trail to allow bike and pedestrian traffic to connect through to the new Weber MUT - not sure if it's been built yet, but the concept is here: https://www.engagewr.ca/12786/widgets/50908/documents/39221

If designed correctly (i.e narrow lanes with bump out crosswalks and Stop signs) It would not become a major through way as most drivers would still go to the intersection at king and Weber. I feel like the city of Waterloo should be looking at developing a masterplan for this neighbourhood. This and the Waterloo in redevelopment could transform this area.
