    Thanks, I wasn't sure the address of that empty property (535 is the medical centre). Looks to be a decent sized building for that area. Interested to see what the final drawings look like. The Tricar Developments site doesn't mention a Kitchener building yet.

    There was a project called Five 39 BV that was talked about a couple years ago, I wonder if it's the same thing.

    London developer plans 11-story high rise


    KITCHENER — The Tricar Group of London, Ont., is planning an 11-storey apartment building on Belmont Avenue near Gage Avenue in Kitchener. The company recently purchased the property and has taken out a building permit for the footings, foundations and underground parking for the project, located at 539 Belmont Ave. W. Currently, the site is vacant. Tricar built the high-rise apartment building at Weber and Queen streets in Kitchener.

    For this one, I'm not expecting a much quality in the urban design department, but at least it's neither uptown nor downtown.

    Staff are supposed to get around to making Belmont Avenue West a mixed-use corridor sometime towards the end of this year. This section will be included.

    Yup, although given how behind they are on the other sections, expect the BV mixed use corridor to happen in about a year from now.

    Too bad this one won't be mixed use.

    There's currently a hole on the site quite a ways back from the street. I hope everyone's looking forward to street-fronting parking....

    Well I hope you're wrong, but I don't think you are unfortunately. If this passed with surface parking along the street, the city is on crack.

    With existing zoning, the developer is probably fully within their rights to put surface parking between the street and the building. This is why I hope the city gets on rezoning this corridor pronto.

    Im right there with ya, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The way they've taken their time with the other ones this one's at least a year away.

    So it looks like the hole is right up to the front of the property in almost the whole lot. Great news since we thought initially there would be a big front yard/parking lot out front. This may just be for the underground parking though, and the building may still be quite set back.
