Anyway, the NEO office isn't closing. There is a 7 floor residential and commercial building going up on the empty plot beside it. It was approved year. I posted a thread about it months ago though for some reason it didn't get much attention: https://www.waterlooregionconnected.com/showthread.php?tid=1705

I'm thinking some sort of development will probably be in the works. I looked on both the development application site and land owner site and didn't find any info.

Eight months later, it looks pretty good. Even balconies!

Quote:Situated in the revitalized Market District of Kitchener, this newly constructed three-story, mixed-use development is a prime commercial and residential investment opportunity. The ground floor of the building offers a spacious 1,482 sq. ft. commercial space. The second and third floors consist of residential units, comprising four 394 sq. ft. bachelor units and two 701 sq. ft. one-bedroom units respectively. With occupancy slated for August 2023, this property is ideally located for easy access to a variety of local amenities including the Kitchener Market, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, parks, and the LRT station, enhancing the appeal for prospective tenants. Tech sector employees from industry giants such as Google, Communitech, Apple, and OpenText will find the location particularly advantageous. The property showcases an exquisite architectural design featuring a striking exterior, vaulted ceilings on the third floor, and attractive interiors. The inclusion of numerous balconies and common areas further enhances the appeal. Due to the high standard of construction, no foreseeable capital expenses are expected in the short to mid-term, making this a compelling investment prospect.

It would be nice to read "new commercial and residential space" or something, rather than "investment opportunity" which always translates to some likely foreign born multi-millionaire capitalist seeking to fleece everyday people out of money. But I guess with these insane housing costs and a government that wants us all to be poor, most people buying anything are investors.
