[Cambridgite]

To continue with my Waterloo Region series, I now present to you, Uptown Waterloo. These pictures were taken in spring of 2007. Warning, this is a huge photothread. Hope you enjoy!


"Skyline" from Erb street, between Fischer-Hallman and Erbsville.

New little office building under construction. It turned out quite well actually.

Today, a parking lot. Soon to be a public square. :banana:
They really need to bulldoze that stupid mall though. :hell:

New mixed use buildings by First Gulf development group. Tenants include Starbucks, LCBO, the offices of RBC and KPMG and more retail is on its way! :)

Segrams Lofts...the first of many loft developments in Waterloo Region.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb210/Cambridgite/Uptown%20Waterloo/Picture267.jpg

This much grass should NEVER exist in a downtown area. The upper part of it is soon to be the Basillie School of International Affairs.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb210/Cambridgite/Uptown%20Waterloo/Picture264.jpg

Today, a large vacant lot. Soon, a community with 1006 units of high density housing, a 5-star hotel, and the "leasing" sign is already up for the office buildings. This will triple or quadruple the existing "skyline" of uptown Waterloo. :banana:

Tacky looking pile of barrels in memory of when today's Seagram Lofts once brewed beer.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb210/Cambridgite/Uptown%20Waterloo/Picture262.jpg

Also used to be a Seagram brewery. But today, it is the building for the Centre of International Governance Innovation.

Ye olde grist mill.

Ye olde train station.

The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. The buildings were clearly designed by physicists, not artists. :yuck:

Bauer lofts. Now there is a crane and the underground parking is under construction. Will include a 15 storey building, 130 residential units, 75,000 square feet of office space, and retail tenants, such as Vicenzo's and William's coffee pub.

Nice photos! Looks like a very nice area. :)

Nice photos!

I don't recognize this. Where is it?

Hopefully more mixed-use developments!
Eventually, I hope. We're stuck with a big parking lot for now, though. :(

Hey, I like the barrel pyramid!

The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. The buildings were clearly designed by physicists, not artists. :yuck:
Hey, I like the PI building! (And clearly I'm not the only one, considering it won a Governor General's award, among others. :P)

Right by the Seagram Lofts.
