This is a project in the Rosenberg area of Kitchener close to the Huron and Fischer Hallman intersection. The Fischer Hallman corridor while being rather suburban in this area is intended to transform into a higher density mixed use corridor through the implementation of the Rosenberg Secondary Plan. The northern portion of the Fischer Hallman corridor is starting to have this transition with the 1198 Fischer Hallman development by Activa (14 and 22 floors), the 1200 Fischer Hallman project by Zimmer (this has SPA but is unlikely to see any action soon it's approved at 32 floors), the 1295 Bleams Rd project (13 floors under construction). In the more central area you have the 1340 Fischer Hallman project by Activa (subdivision approval stage so years away), then a couple of other projects yet to be publicly announced. The southern section hasn't seen anything of significant scale, but it is getting some density. There is this project, you have the recently completed Lumina apartments and you have SPA for 2 apartment buildings at 1950 Fischer Hallman for 2 buildings up to 9 floors.
Fischer Hallman is one of the major transit corridors in the Region and was identified in the Region's Transportation Master Plan to have dedicated transit lanes along a significant portion (Hwy 7/8 to Columbia St) and the implementation of TSP and other regulatory measures. With the density contemplated through Kitchener's Rosenberg Secondary Plan the Region has extended the study area to New Dundee Road which allows the project to incorporate the entirety of the Rosenberg Secondary Plan the the future growth to the east of Fischer Hallman between Huron Road and New Dundee (lands are owned by Branthaven, Activa, and Schlegel).
This project itself is an 8 floor building being developed by an unknown developer, planning services are provided by GSP but nothing on the SPA or CoA indicate a developer. The development will have 172 units between the 8 floors, 189 parking spaces will be required, 17 will be visitor, and 18 will be compact spaces. Both of those require CoA approval since the property is in the older 85-1 bylaw and not the current 2019-051 bylaw. The developer will also provide 86 Class A bike spaces and 6 Class B.
