Adding to my own post: this property is just over 1 ha (close to 3 acres) so the price tag would have surely been somewhere between $10M and $20M.

Could it have been a parking lot for the old Doon Twines (Canada Cordage) plant? I seem to have a vague recollection of a lumber yard there, but I may be confusing it with the place that used to be across Charles, on the actual Junction site. Maybe someone else has a better memory.

Riordan car rentals? But the current owner is MTD.
If/when MTD decides to move, that will be a huge opportunity for infill development.

It's hard to remember - it has always been such a "nothing" bit of town (that stretch of Charles between Borden and Stirling). Does MTD still manufacture at the Kitchener location? I used to associate them with lawnmowers, but I have no idea what they do nowadays.

Ironically, I go through the program and one of the players in there from London is somebody that worked for a local wholesaler that I did business with. This program is from 15 years before I met him! Good to see some of those old names in there. Ponderosa, Ali Baba, Mother's... Thx Tom

It's amazing what Mr Google can dig up once you offer him the right kind of bait!
