It wouldn't surprise me if we saw some more residential pop up in the area in the next 10 years (though I will admit that I definitely don't expect to see the whole Conestogo Road area turn over). There's a literal cornfield at King/Conestogo behind the Best Western that is bound to get developed at some point, and it wouldn't be overly shocking if some of the smaller industrial properties sold to developers, particularly the ones directly across from the Kraus lot.

Likely that is probable, but in the mean time...no thanks.  Not what I would be looking for or for my family.  It will be its own little living quarters with no real connection to a neighborhood.  I would rather be DTK where I can walk to all the amenities and entertainment and schools included.  That's the whole purpose of "modern urban".
