Did a quick search and went three pages deep in this forum and didn't see a thread so I'm starting one.

Kitchener development would demolish heritage homes to make way for innovative seniors’ housing
The development, at the corner of Weber and Young streets, would combine several types of living units within the building: two-storey townhouses on the first two floors; two floors of shared accommodation where seniors would have their own bedroom and bathroom, but share a common living room and kitchen and get meals cooked by staff; one floor of shared apartments where residents would cook their own meals; and a penthouse with high-end rental apartments.
The plan calls for the demolition of two homes in the Civic Centre heritage conservation district: an 1875 Gothic revival cottage at 50-52 Weber St. W. now occupied by a massage parlour and two rental apartments and the 1889 three-storey brick house at 56 Weber built by John Motz, a mayor of Berlin and the publisher of the Berliner Journal, a precursor of The Record.

"There's a huge market for this," said John Gibson, the president of the Tri-City Group of Companies, after presenting his plan to Kitchener's heritage committee.

A third home, a 1910-era arts-and-craft style house at 107 Young St., would be saved and attached to the new development.
