I believe it's still an active application. Sadly, the way the political and social bureaucracy works in Waterloo means this will either take a decade to get done, will be scaled back in size due to NIMBY complaints or will be cancelled outright. The developer may just decide to abandon the plan due to the sloth like pace Waterloo operates on as well as all the pushback from NIMBYs. I know if I was a developer and proposed a big project like this that got stalled for years, I'd just abandon it and move on to a city that isn't full of conservative minded people.
This is the as-of-right version after the rest of the project was scrapped and the OPA/ZBA abandoned. As far as I know, they are unsure of what to do with the rest of the site and are waiting to see how the market responds to this first building to decide.
