    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    The fact they are including all 4 of those projects makes it seem like the MTO wants to protect for a future northern extension of the Hanlon and is going to redesign the connection of New 7 with 6 to protect for that. The Marden bypass study only makes sense if they're trying to connect 6 north...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Exhibition Station | ?m | 2s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Yes, its going predominantly through Georgian Bay Shale. In contrast the Pape TBMs will be above the bedrock and will go through a whole plethora of materials.

    Kitchener Toronto | 236-264 Victoria Street North | 121.5m | 40s | Falco | R+L

    As i mentioned the owner is just a company that upzones and flips. It's gotten OPA/ZBA approval but there is nothing beyond that.

    Kitchener Development News - Catch all

    As Northern Light mentioned development is basically stalled out, there are a few SPAs and ZBA/OPAs that have been submitted since the whole problem came to light so it hasn't ground the industry to a complete halt yet, but a few developers are pivoting to other projects (Vive). Now for the...

    Kitchener Toronto | 10 Duke Street West | ?m | 45s | VanMar Developments | Kirkor Architects

    The housing market fell apart and condos stopped selling. VanMar has all the approvals for both buildings (save building permits) and are still working behind the scenes on some other projects, the website is not a complete representation of what one actually owns or plans, VanMar is working on...

    Kitchener Station Park | 184.95m | 50s | VanMar Developments | Kirkor

    There hasn't been any movement on the building permits, so highly unlikely it will start construction anytime soon. Keep in mind they were targeting closings in 2028 for it which is not going to happen. The cheapest price they had when sales launched was 540k for 503 sqft. There's similar...

    Waterloo Toronto | 87-95 Seagram Drive | 120m | 34s | Modern Real Estate | Masri O

    As I mentioned in the 808 Courtland thread if this does get through OPA/ZBA (good luck with Waterloo council) this will have a holding provision until such time as the water capacity issue is resolved. As such this won't be seeing construction anytime soon.

    Kitchener Toronto | 808 Courtland Avenue East | 102.6m | 30s | Zehr | ABA

    The OPA and ZBA for this was approved by city council in January, with that said this (and pretty much every other project in KW) will not be going ahead anytime soon. This has a holding provision that states "a study determining adequate water supply capacity has been completed, or the Region...

    Waterloo Toronto | Hickory Terraces | ?m | 12s | Hickory Terraces Ltd

    The first two cranes are now up for this site, the second one was going up this weekend. They're both luffing jib cranes which is an uncommon sight for KW. January 31, 2025

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

    A friend of mine sent me this awhile ago I just forgot to post it. At the time it was on the 8th floor but that was the middle of January so it's definitely a floor or two taller now. As an aside much of the skyline that exists in the background didn't exist prior to 2020. January 13, 2025.

    The data you are using has two major issues, the most glaring is your interpretation of the total. The total that it displays is that of the entire calendar year, not a winter season, snowfall that falls in November and December is included with the snow from January, February and March from the...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Those aren't the most accurate snowfall totals just due to how they are collected, the station it takes snowfall data from is part of the CCN network (Co-Operative Climate Network) which is volunteer data. The University of Waterloo has an actual weather station that numerous departments utilize...

    Kitchener Toronto | 4611 King Street East | ?m | 26s | LJM | Kirkor

    They've decided to try and sell the land, it's been on the market for a few months.

    Kitchener Toronto | 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 Toronto | 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...
