RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-17-2021
Found this interesting massing image over on another website (credit to emphur). While it's lacking at least a dozen or more other proposals and active construction projects, it gives you a pretty good idea of how dense downtown is starting to get. If it had included all the current proposals, it would look even more transformative.

If anyone with a bit of time to waste wants to make one with every single proposal, I'd be curious to see it.

What do the different colours mean?
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-17-2021
Oops, should have mentioned that. White are projects under construction and purple are proposed projects. In that regard, it's a little out dated since this was posted in August.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - danbrotherston - 09-17-2021
Definitely an interesting idea, but it seems to be significantly exaggerating some of the massing. The two foreground station park buildings obviously won't take up the sidewalk, and the transit terminal won't be that big either.
But it does show what DTK could look like in the future.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-18-2021
Found this on Reddit from a local video journalist that works for CTV:
Quote:The parking lot behind CTV is also going to be developed. They’ve been drilling for soil samples all week. I’d guess that the medical centre on Pine will also come down soon because that parking lot has been empty for a couple months.
Not sure if that is a city owned lot or not, but it'd be nice to see that get developed into something. Not sure about the medical building though, it could have just been empty due to the pandemic.

Looks like the medical building and parking lot are owned by the same company. So this speculation sounds legitimate.

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-18-2021
Makes sense. Pretty much all property within a few hundred meters of the LRT stations will get redeveloped in time.

Hmmm....Now I'm even more curious. Wonder if the demo crew would know anything?
Found it! It appears to be Knossos Housing Corporation -- and 64 affordable units is excellent news.

I know a few tenants of the medical building moved to the Boardwalk a few months ago, so this would make sense.

Hey! Nice find! Actual affordable housing instead of a large developer is excellent news. Can't wait to see more details.

I've been working on one for a good while! It's been slow moving because its been hard to get floor & site plans for things like Station Park / The Bright building, so it involves significantly more time creating those

I've been trying to help KW developments get more exposure over at UT since they had projects there for pretty much every city surrounding the GTA except KW. I think some are finally gaining some traction.

I suspect most other cities do not have as active (independent) forums as we do.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - ac3r - 09-24-2021
Cool models in that UT thread, though the giant watermarks are obnoxious. Our skyline is truly hard to capture because it's so spread out across the region. It'll eventually be 3 skylines in the cores, but then in time, each LRT will have its own miniature one.
