Here is a picture of the crane, it's from the LRT so it is not the best photo. This building appears to be precast instead of cast in place like was originally stated in the thread as there is a Stubbe's precast sign up on the fencing. Stubbe's does all sorts of precast work in the region, if I...

This project is now moving along, they have a tower crane up on site now, unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it.

I went by it a few weeks ago and both of the tower cranes that were on site have been taken down. The building that is currently topped out still isn't complete and the site overall hasn't changed significantly since May. In May there wasn't a single tradesperson on site and went I went by a few...

There's already multiple proposals on the Kitchener part of phase 2 for buildings between 13 and 30 floors so the Kitchener side is already getting large proposals, however the same cannot be said about Cambridge with council constantly fighting any height along the future line. Any new line in...

Based on the most recent regional official plan (ROPA 6) the current intensification corridors within the region are actually the current phase 1 and phase 2 LRT corridors as well as Ottawa St from the Sunrise Center to central Breslau. From this it looks as if Ottawa is going to be the next...

Lot A is only popular because it's the primary staff parking lot, so a significant portion of professors and staff use it. The Master plan was from 2007 or 2009 I can't remember exactly, so it's definitely not completely reflective of today but where they planned on new buildings has generally...

Well we're talking about Waterloo so it won't happen. The city is absurdly stubborn when it comes to additional height, maximum height in the city is 81 meters and in Northdale it's 25 floors, so for many developers it isn't worth the effort to vary the height if it means it will reduce the...

You may want more rapid transit but Cambridge council is so adamantly against it that it's really quite hilarious. The mayor already wants to have the LRT end in the middle of suburbia (Dundas around Franklin) instead of down into Galt where it's already more supportive towards transit. There...

In the future they're planning on putting a parking structure on lot C and over towards Phillip St as they slowly redevelop the existing lots but parking lot A isn't going away anytime soon even in the master plan. Within the campus master plan they're planning on converting many of the existing...

The way Jan Liggett (Cambridge Mayor) keeps complaining about the phase 2 LRT it isn't going to get the green light anytime soon if she has any say in it, plus with a 4.5 billion price tag it isn't going to be easy to convince anyone, the region certainly doesn't want to pay 1/3 of the cost like...

If the conditions are right and you know where to look you can see the top of DTK condominiums above the trees when you're on hwy 7 coming to Kitchener. So you'll definitely be able to see this at least from hwy 7.

Kitchener has 5 building 150+ meters proposed/approved and a few right under that mark so it's definitely getting a dense skyline. Not to mention the city is currently working on updating the zoning through much of the core which will at least based on the draft plan allow for unlimited height...

These are some really ugly buildings even by Kitchener standards, it's very reminiscent of some of the student housing that is built in Northdale in Waterloo around the universities. If this is mostly affordable housing it might get a bit of a pass by most people but it's definitely not going to...

The previous buildings on this site, a old Tim Hortons and a few houses, were demolished in late February. The site has sat unchanged since then. This project has also undergone a rebrand although the renders still appear to be the same, just lacking some of the previous colour. the project...

Elevators

The entire region of Waterloo really needs to get some better architecture because this is just horrendous. Hopefully some of the newer projects by Vanmar, Cambridge Mill and the Park/Vic project make it better. HIP and IN8s developments are all so horrendous.

Compared to a lot of the projects that KW gets this is definitely significantly better. While Kirkor may not be top tier it is significantly better than a lot of the projects that have been done in the region. Station Park has turned out pretty good so far and is done by Kirkor so I have hope...

Now what would you say to the people who are also human beings that can't afford a house and are thus being pushed towards the streets? Do you think they don't deserve a place to live? This is a location that is near public transit (Eglinton LRT and Ontario Line) so it is a good location for...

Kitchener is definitely getting tall and it's happened really fast with all of the tall buildings being proposed in the last 6 years. Overall Kitchener currently has 28 buildings in various stages of development that are 30 floors or higher, 11 of them are 40 floors or taller, and 3 of them are...
