    Kitchener TEK Tower | 144.5m | 45s | IN8 Developments | srm Architects

    That one isn't happening for a very long time, Woodhouse is the main proponent on that and they aren't going to move on it anytime soon (if ever). That site also doesn't have zoning approval yet so it is still part of the 85-1 zoning bylaw. Kitchener rezoned all the MTSAs through a project...

    Kitchener TEK Tower | 144.5m | 45s | IN8 Developments | srm Architects

    Just a little nitpick but the countryside line hasn't been reached yet and won't for years. In Southwest Kitchener there's still 1000+ acres left to go, the vast majority of that is owned by Activa, some is owned by Branthaven, some is owned by Schlegel, then what is left is owned by Mattamy...

    Waterloo 20 University Avenue East | 80.7m | 25s | Prica | PGDS

    Prica (the developer) is generally in the rental world, they've developed numerous buildings in Waterloo generally targeting the Laurier/UW rental markets. Waterloo has a tendency to be against anything of height, 25 floors is generally the artificial cap, there's very few buildings approved...

    St. Catharines 142 Queenston Street | 80.8m | 24s | Vive Development | R+L

    Knowing Vive there will be very few (if any) changes to the design, unless the city is causing a massive fuss, even then Vive has no issue going to the OLT over SPA issues. Historically when Vive makes renderings public the final design tends to be awfully close to them, same with what's built...

    St. Catharines 142 Queenston Street | 80.8m | 24s | Vive Development | R+L

    This is a project that Vive is intending to move on in the next few years instead of some of their KW ones, primarily because of KW having a water supply issue halting development.

    Kitchener 1770 King Street East | 87.6m | 27s | Vive Development | Cusimano

    It's gotten OPA/ZBA approval and that is about it, still needs SPA. It isn't one of the projects that they are currently focusing on. Vive's pecking order over the next few years will be SLYK Phase 2 and 3, 864 King (Phase 1+2), 1001 King (Finishing phase 1 and starting phase 2), 332 Charles and...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    KW disabled the buttons during covid and now only uses them during really cold weather. In all other cases all the doors open at a stop regardless of the number of people getting on or off. You can have one person getting on at 9pm but all 4 doors will still open.

    Kitchener A.R Goudie Long-Term Care Home Expansion | ?m | 4s | peopleCare | srm Architects

    It's up to the mods on what they want to do with this but the addition to the existing building is what is completed. The second building fronting Frederick outlined in the site plan has yet to start construction.

    325 Allendale (Cambridge)

    This is the project I've mentioned in the IPort thread. Building A (315 Allendale) and B (325 Allendale) are completed (or awfully close) with Building C under construction. The developer for these 3 buildings is Fengate, in total it's just under 900,000 sqft of space between the 3 buildings...

    Cambridge 255 King Street West | 61.6m | 16s | Auburn | Edge Architects

    The public side of the Cambridge permit system is a mess to try to decipher anything from. They have a foundation permit in place, the exact extent of what that particular permit covers in terms of buildings isn't clear, based on the foundation works Building A and Building B are the two that...

    200 Intermarket (Cambridge)

    I'm just going to loop a bunch of properties together since most of this area is all owned by the same developer and this just happens to be the one of the buildings under construction. If the mods want to break it into individual threads that's fine. Within the lands known as the East Side...

    Cambridge iPort Cambridge Logistics & Industrial Campus | ?m | 1s | Triovest | Pearce Mccluskey Architects

    They aren't even close to leasing the first phase. The current leases are for Fuchs, ATS and Dare who collectively have about 325,000 sqft which is about 32% of the first phase. The developer behind this also has another project elsewhere in Cambridge that has over 200,000 sqft still to be...

    17 Vondrau (Cambridge)

    As YongeBloor mentioned this is a data centre. The site was originally owned by Blackberry but was sold to Ascent Corp. The site is really split into two different parts. There is the existing building at 17 Vondrau and then the vacant land (25 acres) behind the site which is intended for...

    Kitchener SYLK Towers | 96.9m | 29s | Vive Development | R+L

    The intent for Vive on this site is to have the next building follow in succession, complete one then move to the next. Phase 3 doesn't have a decision in terms of the ZBA/OPA that was submitted for the extra height but that will be coming in the new year, at which point there will be some...

    Kitchener 4220 King Street East | 64.99m | 18s | Tricar | Kasian

    The second tower is actively rising, they have all the appropriate permits to do so. The pictures I took from April that shows the podium is rather elusive in that the portion you could see from my second picture was just the podium along King, they hadn't done anything where the second tower is...
