One Hundred | 21 & 17 fl | U/C - Spokes - 08-25-2014 One Hundred Condominiums
100 Victoria St. South, Kitchener http://onehundred.ca/ Developer: Momentum Developments 19 and 15 Floor Mixed-Use Development RE: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - Spokes - 08-25-2014 One Hundred will soon take shape in Kitchener’s “Innovation District” April 9, 2014 | BuzzBuzzHome | Link Quote:Kitchener-Waterloo, a city famous for its forward-thinking businesses and think tanks, is being infused with even more innovation thanks to Momentum Developments’ latest condominium complex, One Hundred. Amenity space between tower one and two: Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - 519 - 08-27-2014 In the interest of keeping to conversation going, I'll repost my message from WW which was the sale status (as of about 2-3 weeks ago): Tower 1: over 80% sold Tower 2: over 40% sold (has four additional storeys) Scheduled occupancy for April 2017 and April 2018 respectively. Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - MidTowner - 08-27-2014 With 80% sold, construction should be starting shortly, no? April 2017 occupancy would imply to me a construction start no later than early spring of 2015. Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - rangersfan - 09-13-2014 A short video render of the project can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsnOZc69vkM Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - Spokes - 09-16-2014 This was discussed at last nights council meeting. The issue is that as it stands Momentum wants to build the towers with a 6m setback from the adjacent property lines. The owners of those property lines want them pushed back to 12.5m. They feel that if they ever wanted to develop their property, the 6m setbacks would hurt their ability to do so. (Not that they have any plans to develop.) City Council has asked for a staff report to be presented on November 10 and a decision will be made at the November 17 council meeting. I think a compromise would work here, and you go with 9m setbacks. What do you think? Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - panamaniac - 09-16-2014 Is potential effect on the ability to develop a neighbouring property a consideration with respect to a variance request (is that what this is?)? I don't think the podium would have that effect on the west side, at least.

I don't think the podium would have that effect on the west side, at least.My guess is the podium comes pretty close to the property line. I got the impression the issue was with the tower.

But it's OK for a developer to protect its interests. Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - panamaniac - 09-16-2014 Given the pre-sales of apartments in the first tower, I'd be concerned that such a change would come at the expense of the podium, which would be a shame as it's the best part of the project, imho. Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - mpd618 - 09-16-2014 Personally, I think it would be a shame for Arthur Place to be redeveloped. It ought to have heritage protection. Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - rangersfan - 09-16-2014 I would really like to see the project go ahead as proposed, it offers everything this area of the city should be. Re: One Hundred | 15 fl, 19 fl | Proposed - panamaniac - 09-16-2014 Is that what the issue is, or is it the property (ies) to the west of Arthur Place? I would hope that the Arthur Pl row would someday be converted into a bar/restaurant row and a pedestrian entrance into the Innovation District.

I think it would be too. Those units if fixed up could be quite nice. Do you think they're the ones complaining? I figured it was the other neighbours as they have the roadway separating the two properties.
