Relatively recent and massive proposal for northern Waterloo. The proposal seeks to redevelop the former Kraus Flooring site.

That image is somewhat dated as the LRT now runs down the middle of northfield drive here but the site itself is pretty much the same but Kraus vacated it a few years ago.
It's located at the northern bounds of the city near St. Jacob's and is wedged between northfield drive and the conestoga parkway. As mentioned the LRT runs along northfield and there is a station across the highway from the proposed site. It is also relatively close to the conestoga mall.
Here are some very early renders of the development.
One significant aspect of this development is a proposed pedestrian bridge over the highway which would make Northfield Station very easily accessible (only a few minutes walk)
The current proposal has 15 residential towers total. 35, 24, 2x 22, 20, 2x 19, 2x 15, 4x 9, 2x 7 as well as what appear to be 3x 3 story office buildings.
This would be a major suburban cluster in Waterloo and location wise it is quite solid. I am hoping to see it approved.
