As brought up in the general update thread, a developer (1000237993 Ontario Inc; no name available in the Ontario business registry), John MacDonald Architect and MHBC are working to redevelop the existing office building at 180 King Street South in Waterloo.

They propose to redevelop the office into a mixed use building with residential and commercial uses on the ground floor. They propose to add an additional 3 floors to the building which would turn it into a 10 floor structure. 129 units (a total of 166 bedrooms) would be added as well as 1'580 square meters of commercial space. The first floor would also be extended outward, resulting in extruding elements wider than the original footprint of the building. 152 parking spaces are proposed (118 for residents, 13 for visitors, 16 for commercial units and 5 of them will be full accessible). The parking will be both underground in the existing underground structure and above grade. 112 bike parking spaces are also proposed.
No final architectural design/plan has been formally proposed to the public, but as of June 8th they have a concept completed as well as some renderings.
