General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

A cool article about growth/investment KW - it also mentions they are planning to convert the office at 22 Fredrick to residential

Very interested to see how that residential conversion goes.

Not a trivial project. The floorplate size might be suitable, and the elevators might be OK. Some things are easy (amenities, building access, parking, garbage chutes) but they'll also need to install plumbing and convert HVAC to something like a chiller-based system. And balconies, or none?

The old RBC building did a cheap conversion with in-unit air conditioners but that is also a much smaller building.
