General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[camerashy]

A little while ago the St. Mary Eritrean Orthodox Church on Ahrens (155 W Ahrens St) sold to a developer. The developer has already started to approach residents within the consultation zone (despite no permits existing or filed) to gauge support for a low-rise condo building on the plot. Fingers crossed they actually go through with it and don't just sit on the lot while the building falls into disrepair. The developer tried to also attain the building located behind the church but I don't think that went through. 

Could be a hopefully tasteful addition to Mt. Hope/Breithaupt Neighbourhood, especially with Lenjo Bakes and Mama D's doing well across the road.

I'm sure residents will not miss the Sunday parking fiasco that was ongoing when it was functioning as a church.
