Yes, I forgot about Arrow II. Is Market Flats under construction yet? For those with shovels in ground already, it must be at least 1,000 apartments, no?
This is off-topic, I guess. Is there a more appropriate thread for a total DTK "apartment count"?
That's a good thing. I thought I remember reading that Kitchener? Waterloo? Waterloo Region had the lowest vacancy rate in the country? Province?
Clearly the details are a bit fuzzy, but the fact remains.

Walked by on my way home from work and snapped some photos. It sure doesn't look like any townhouses, looks more like a major project to me.

Are there updated renders for this project?.
The Vanguard Developments website still has the previous proposed building's render (http://vanguarddevelopments.com/51Scott.html). As others have pointed out, there seems to not be much progress on the site.
Strik Baldinelli Moinz's website mentions that the company was "Retained for the Civil and Structural engineering of a 6 storey wood framed building in Kitchener, Ontario." It also states that construction was slated for this building by the late summer of 2016. There is a render of this building here (https://www.sbmltd.ca/recent-projects/category/wood-framed). (Note that it is the third project from the top). The location of that project appears to be at the corner of Weber and Scott Streets--the same as this project.
This project along with 387-397 King St are some of the most "unknown" projects in DTK. This is as they both have relatively unknown developers and no recent renders. Hopefully there more information released about these projects soon.

P.S. I have been collecting data about some of the new developments in Waterloo Region. I think that I can give a definitive answer of the number of units in DTK/Waterloo Region that are currently under construction given a day or two.

No, but the Kitchener GIS system does have a building footprint, and there's a permit issued. Appears to be rectangular with the long frontage on Scott St, and 11 storeys tall.

Yeah, the townhomes alone would not need that tower crane.
RE: 59-65 Weber St E & 51-59 Scott St | 11 fl | U/C - ac3r - 07-25-2019
I thought so, the foundation was dug way too deep for something like townhouses. The crane height looks about right for 6 floors rather than 11, so I can't tell whether this is going to be the wood frame building in the recent link or something else (I realize they can generally be made bigger, but usually that happens at the start). Kind of strange to start construction on a major project but not have any sort of information.

Let's hope it's not the 6 storey version - that render looks nasty!

The permit database is reliable. If they were to change plans from 11 storeys they'd need to update the permit, so until that happens we can be confident that's the plan.

Can confirm. Two projects are happening at Scott and Weber directly across the street from each other, the other one has renders, this one does not.

More accurately, one is happening, the other remains (long) proposed (but has renders!).
RE: 59-65 Weber St E & 51-59 Scott St | 11 fl | U/C - ac3r - 07-26-2019
Interestingly, the long proposed one has been a surface lot for as long as anyone can remember, and, many many years ago there was a plan by whoever originally owned the property to build some office there (probably 10+ years ago). I hope they building something at last haha.
