Rare opportunity to acquire a strategic development site just steps from Wilfrid Laurier University and within walking distance of bearly 20,000 full time post-secondary students. Positioned along the highly sought-after King Street corridor, this property offers investors and developers the chance to secure a prime parcel in one of Waterloo Region's most dynamic growth areas.
Architectural schematic plans are available for a proposed 8-storey apartment building featuring at-grade parking, eliminating the significant costs and complexities commonly associated with underground parking construction. The concept contemplates a modern, urban mid-rise development designed to capitalize on the site's exceptional location and strong rental demand fundamentals.
Unlike many development opportunities requiring lengthy and uncertain land assembly negotiations, this offering presents a streamlined path forward with a single ownership group and a clear vision for the property's future. No complicated multi-owner assembly process. No fragmented land holdings. Just one site with significant redevelopment potential.
The location is second to none. Residents can enjoy a short walk to Uptown Waterloo's vibrant collection of restaurants, cafés, shopping, entertainment venues, major employers, and year-round amenities. Public transit, including the ION LRT corridor, is easily accessible, further enhancing the site's appeal for future residents.
Adding to the opportunity, the existing property is improved with a triplex, allowing purchasers to generate holding income while advancing planning, design, and development objectives. If you are an experienced developer, investor, or builder seeking a well-located mid-rise opportunity, this property offers a combination of current cash flow and future redevelopment potential.
Prime location. Existing income. Development upside. Opportunities of this scale and simplicity are increasingly difficult to find in Waterloo's core.
