A developer is proposing to build a 15-storey residential highrise on Weber Street in downtown Kitchener, on a vacant site now used as a parking lot.
The proposal at 22 Weber St. W., directly opposite Ontario Street, would have 126 units, including 19 barrier-free units with direct frontage and access off Weber Street.
Developer 30 Duke Street Ltd. is applying for zoning and Official Plan changes for the project, which would be a major intensification on the site.
It's disappointing but entirely predictable, the NIMBYs are already raring to go..."We don't have enough information"...what do you want to know?
There is literally a giant tower across the street beside a low rise building:

Oh, it's not someone's house? One block away you have a giant 20 story building looking over the very same homes:

This *IS* the character of the neighbourhood...
We need more housing, opposing this makes you an enemy of housing affordability and environmentalism.
