City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17, 25 & 6 fl | U/C

In 2010-11, when the sales office opened, I observed a lot of pessimism about whether the developer could find enough people wanting to pay good money to live in downtown Kitchener. And it really did seem like a long wait between sales and construction- construction has proceeded at a practically blistering pace, though.

I agree with you that it was well worth the wait. I'm really curious whether in the future we'll see the City of Kitchener's sale of this land for this development as an important catalyst for downtown's renaissance.

I remember them talking about putting a new library on the block then UW students had a crack at some designs for the site, then there were some early renderings and finally ten years later it's almost done. I think we'll see a dramatic change in the core because we finally have two large condo projects bringing a ton more foot traffic downtown. 

As a side note, this is easily the nicest tower architecturally, to go up in the region since it's neighbour went up in 1993.

I would have a great deal of difficulty coming up with a strong argument against you.
