RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Chris - 05-11-2022
I saw crews drilling in the lot between Ziggy's and One Victoria on Monday.
Crews were drilling at the former United Taxi this morning.
ETA: For the curious, here is the United Taxi listing. https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/24375976/150-victoria-street-n-kitchener

I was told that IN8 is not the purchaser of Ziggy's but it is a local group. I haven't seen anything concrete on either site yet in terms of a transaction but haven't checked in a few weeks.
What a relief.

Ah, I meant the property on Charles Street, not the Ziggy's location. There was a discussion in a thread on here a couple weeks ago and someone said IN8 owns the former but it was nothing confirmed.

VanMar bought Ziggys for $14,500,000. Heard they're planning 40 stories/500 units

Haha hopefully ziggy opens up a new location in DTK or are they getting out of the game completely?

Holly Coonolly !!! WOW, what is the size of the property?
I think that Ziggy doesn't even own it anymore, I think his wife got that place as part of a settlement for divorce... Geeze...

I think you are right. Ziggy started ZM in TO and his wife kept the Kitchener shop. So in hindsight, being forced to move for a widened highway has really paid off. Smart family playing the long game here.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Rainrider22 - 05-11-2022
I remember the big opposition when they had to move the store from the former Old King Street location
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - cherrypark - 05-11-2022
There is a ZM in Kitchener too, but on Strange St. Which was always confusing to me when I first moved here.

With the price of Treks these days, that’s probably only a couple bikes!

In comparison, does anyone know how much IN8 bought the TEK Tower parcel for?
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lebronj23 - 05-11-2022
I think we have reached the point where we hear of another 40 storey tower coming to Kitchener and nobody bats and eye. That’s 7 over 40 storeys coming down the pipeline

$10,250,000 I believe
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Lebronj23 - 05-12-2022
Proposing a 44 storey multiple dwelling - 26 Charles St West. This is IN8s third location as was discussed earlier in this thread.
https://app2.kitchener.ca/appdocs/opendata/AMANDADataSets/Application_Status_Site_Plan.csv
I’m not sure how this parcel is zoned so I’m not sure if we will get documents. I guess we can make a thread for this one and 88 Queen when we get some renders? If anyone want to make the threads go for it!
