It would be interesting to know a) who owns larger parcels of Uptown land and b) what the actual reasons that large projects don't seem to proceed.  I could understand if large projects were pitched and then dumped, but I can only think of a handful where something was proposed only to disappear (eg the lot next to Alexandra School, the one at Regina and Willis Way).  Perhaps developers are interested in easier targets  properties for a quicker development turnaround? Or is it that there are a not large lots like Station Park available in Uptown?

I do believe that Auburn still owns the Alexandra property, but it's behind their bigger projects (Barrel Yards and Metz) in priority.

Other proposed projects ... the only thing they have in common is that they are in central Waterloo. Is it the city or the neighbourhoods?
