This is one of the affordable housing redevelopment projects that the Region is undertaking on their existing sites. This is the largest of the redevelopments, there are a few that are in the design phase but they aren't as large in terms of unit count and height at least in the current iterations, Kitchener's PMTSA zoning might change one of the projects but nothings public on that one yet.
In terms of this project the Region is designing it for 378 units, the site will have a 16 and 9 floor building with the 16 floor building having 221 units and an 8 floor podium and the 9 floor building will have a 4 floor podium and contain 157 units. The exact unit mix isn't known however it is planned to include units ranging in size from 1-5 bedrooms. The site itself is located in the center of a crescent with existing highrise and townhome developments surrounding it, this site is currently Regionally owned townhomes.
In terms of transit access there is the 12 and 20 within a 10 minute walk from the site. The 12 runs every 15 minutes with plans to increase frequency to every 10 minutes (it is one of the busiest routes in the network), and the 20 runs every 15 minutes. The 20 feeds into downtown Kitchener and to the Boardwalk (suburban shopping center with everything), the 12 feeds both UW and WLU as well as multiple large employment areas in Kitchener.
For the project SvN is the Architect/Urban Designers, Lithos Group is providing civil services, RWDI is providing wind studies, structural services are being provided by Blackwell Structural Engineers, transportation is being provided by Nextrans Consulting Engineers, Mechanical/Electrical is Reinbold Engineering, and Acoustic/Vibration is being provided by J.E. Coulter Acoustics + Vibrations.
The project already has conditional SPA from the City of Kitchener, the cities SPA files aren't public so getting site plans/TIS/Geotech reports or anything is a hassle, currently there is still a holding provision which is in the process of being lifted.
