Has ANYTHING happened with this development? ANY news at all? It's been sitting at the bottom of the downtowns section for an awfully long time.

Did these sell off yet? (sorry, always have a vested interest)

You're like a walking advertisement.

And real renderings?

What's wrong with advertising a potential condo development in your SSP:Local section? I don't see you lecturing the Toronto or Vancouver forumers about this.

Don't be such a jealous hater.

Well, only two of those pictures actually needed to be there. He is wasting the internets! It's a series of tubes, not a truck you can dump stuff on!!

Seriously, though, where are the real renders?

ScottFromCalgary · #7 Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 4:33 AM**

The worst models that I have ever seen in a condo advertisement, and is it too hard to throw a fucking colour rendering in?

vid · #8 Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 5:04 AM**

I didn't even bother saying anything about the models. But yes, they are pretty odd looking.

rapid_business · #9 Posted **Jan 14, 2008, 5:31 AM**

Yeah, pretty amateur.

"even small things can be posted/discussed here"

They spelled its name with all miniscule letters.

To me, this implies inferiority. How does "icon" stack up to, say, "Limbrick Social Housing Co-Operative"?

LSHO has more majuscule letters than icon has letters at all!!

I know there's been little to no discussion about these lately. I dont know where the project stands in terms of approval and what not. But I drove past the site today and got to thinking, will it be built just over top of the building that is there (the old howl at the moon I think) or on the corner lot where there is just a parking lot now?

I think the old Howl at the Moon is being torn down and redeveloped along with the parking lot. If you look at the photos at the top of the thread, you'll see where the proposed building starts.

Ya I saw those, but they almost look as if there are arch shaped windows at the bottom, just like the ones at howl at the moon. Maybe it's just me haha.

I have to admit it. For some reason, this is my favourite proposal in Kitchener. I don't know why, but I just like it

.

jcollins · #16 Posted **Apr 10, 2008, 11:00 PM**

I like them a lot too. The only thing I dont like, is that from the drawings that are available so far, it looks like the building comes almost all the way to the road rather than sitting flush with the rest of the buildings already there.

I would expect that that'd be something that would be addressed

rapid_business · #17 Posted **Apr 11, 2008, 1:09 AM**

/\ I'm sure it would. I'd like to see it in colour to get a better perspective of it. (Not to mention a better representation of what is actually glass)

jcollins · #18 Posted **Apr 11, 2008, 2:29 AM**

Has there been any word on where this project is at?
It's been in discussion since last summer I thought

I think this is almost the coolest thing planned for downtown Kitchener. Does anyone know if they're making any progress on it? I just hope they can sell enough units to make it a go.
