Kitchener-Waterloo from above, posted by merkosss on
r/Kitchener.
Foreground is downtown Kitchener. There has been a huge amount of change in the last few years, with multiple condos blasting past the ~60 metre height that was the tallest in the core for decades. Several other towers are under construction as well. There are still many empty lots, but it’s getting there.
The green patch below the rail corridor and to the right of King Street (centre-left of the photo) will be the location of
Waterloo Region’s new transit hub. It will bring together LRT, GO rail, VIA rail, intercity bus, GO bus, and local bus services in one central location.
On the other side of the rail corridor is an under construction expansion to Google’s offices, and across the street from that a 5 tower development with office and retail in the podium.
In the midground-left is the midtown area, which also has several projects proposed and under construction.
Mid-background is Uptown Waterloo.
Beyond that and across to the right is the university district. The majority of the buildings there are unfortunately very ugly individually, but the increase in density over the last decade has been unreal. From almost entirely post war bungalows to dozens of mid and highrise towers.
