General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[ZEBuilder]

Construction fencing up at 140 Sydney St S, the former Polwood Cabinets factory. This shows now as being City of Kitchener ownership. Too small for parkland (0.5 ha, 0.22 acres), could this be another Kitchener Housing project? Or is this expropriation for the Schneider creek naturalization?

The city has owned that for a while now. 

The properties they currently own for the Schneider Creek project are, 124 Ottawa St S, 405-409 Nyberg St, 170 Borden (demolished in January), and 59 Bedford. They also own the parking lot on Kent next to the creek and the parking lot on Courtland across from Schneiders.

They are still trying to purchase 150-160 Borden, 123 Ottawa St S, and 134 Sydney St S for phase 1 of the project, phase 2 may need 116-118 Kent but they could likely get away without it.
