Just over the border between Kitchener & Waterloo, at the north end of Midtown, sits the Ontario Die Company property at the corner of Moore & Roger Streets. They have started the process of applying for Official Plan & Zoning By-Law Amendment in order to redevelop the site from industrial to mixed use medium density residential. This new residential development will replace the existing industrial operation as well as the adjacent 7 homes on Roger Street.
The City of Waterloo is hosting an informal public meeting during the Council Meeting on Monday May 8, 2017 to introduce the proposal to neighbouring property owners and interested citizens in order to obtain opinions.

For demonstration purposes, and to support the planning applications, the submitted Concept Plan consists of a mix of stacked townhomes and apartment buildings ranging in height from 3 to 6 storeys and it gives you a sense of the potential visual change at this corner.
The proposed development consists of up to 630 bedrooms split among 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units in the form of town homes, stacked townhomes and/or multi-unit buildings. With a total of 630 bedrooms on-site, the development is proposed to accommodate a total of up to 300 units on the 2.1 hectare site (150 units/ha). Parking is proposed at a rate of 1.05 spaces/unit.
