General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[dtkmelissa]

The four houses at 80-96 Sydney St N are in the process of being demolished. Zoned R-7 so it allows a seven-floor mid-rise building (24m max) or a three-floor townhouse complex (10.5m).

Maximum FAR is only 1.0, though, so given the total property size of 0.96 acres (41,800 sqft), that would be a floorplate of only about 5,200 sqft for an eight-storey building. So, if they do go mid-rise, I expect to see a variance request to increase the FAR.

I used to live at 96 Sydney St N, rented a basement apartment there. Great to see more density coming to that area
