RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - panamaniac - 08-18-2020
Nice to see the east end coming back (in fact becoming better than it has ever been)!

3 floors with ground floor retail, and 8 truly tiny apartments above (250 to 300 sq ft). No parking. Fills in a longstanding gap in the King St E streetwall.
Yeah, that’s where that place burned to the ground a few years back (maybe 2016?). Nice addition to the east end. 250 sq ft isn’t much larger than my bedroom, so that’s tiny home living at its best.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 08-18-2020
They are small so they will be affordable (though not technically "affordable housing" as they are too small to qualify). 250-300 sqft can still be very functional for a single person.
Kudos to Facet for doing this!

I think that property has been up for sale somewhat recently, but not sure if it sold. Maybe a similar style building will eventually get built there.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Momo26 - 08-19-2020
Do we have any more detailed renderings of the micro apartment?
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Square - 08-20-2020
Saw some drilling behind U-haul on Charles Street. Could be something or maybe nothing.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Spokes - 08-20-2020
Now that would be exciting!
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Momo26 - 08-20-2020
Behind U-Haul meaning in front of Tannery? Exciting would be move U-Haul to an industrial area and throw up a lively block of restaurants and shops!
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lens - 08-20-2020
Manulife is selling/has sold that parking lot for development.

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Square - 08-21-2020
Will this be the future 50 storey building Insider was talking about?, hmm, lol
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Momo26 - 08-21-2020
50 story wowzers. Some commercial space below as well one would hope. Looks big enough for 2 'skinny towers' if they wanted...
