This is another approved project in the east end of downtown Kitchener. It is located at 1001 King St E, the property is a consolidation of numerous properties so it spans from King St E to Charles St E. The tower itself is composed of 2 primary parts, a 30 floor tower which has frontage on Charles St as well as an 11 floor tower which spans the Borden Ave side of the property. The remainder of the site is covered in a 4 floor podium. Overall the development consists of 464 units, 7 live/work units, 10 3brdm, 115 2brdm and the remaining 332 being 1brdm. The development also includes 4860 sqft of commercial space divided into 2 units fronting King St E. The development is expected to include 8061 sqft of indoor amenity space and 5326 sqft of outdoor amenity space. In terms of parking there is 313 vehicular spaces (includes visitor and barrier free) and 235 bicycle spaces (Class A and B). Parking access is provided from King St E. I know some people on this forum will despise this but there is only 3 elevators for the 464 units.
This project has gone through many iterations to get to the current approved form, I seem to recall 2 other proposals, one that was almost identical just with less commercial space, the other had the tower orientated in a differ location and city staff didn't like it. Vive also owns most of the remaining properties on the block and they have plans to redevelop the rest of it at some point, originally it was supposed to be 3 phases with 3 towers at 32, 27 and 15 floors, since then the market has obviously changed so those heights are very much up in the air.
Here are the documents for those interested: 1001 King St E Docs
Model of the building (left is from King, right is from Charles)
Renders (This is from the second submission, there wasn't any attached to the most recent submission, notably there are no longer units on the bottom 4 floors facing Borden Ave and the podium is 2 floors shorter)
