Downtown Kitchener

One from the Franklin overpass above Highway 8. Progress on 1055 Weber can be seen on the right.

Also from the Franklin bridge, but with 10x zoom - MPH visible from here, which is why I think it's now fully topped out. Only so much heavy lifting the sunset can do for this. This building, along with the projects lining this section of Highway 8, do provide for a much more urban feel coming into the city via car by extending the density further south.

Tek Tower is a legend. I see it from all angles of the city: When I am driving on the 7-8. In the countryside, from Ottawa St and Highway 7 going towards Guelph and from the parking lot at Conestoga Mall. Bonus tip: if you view it from the skinny side from afar, it makes it look taller, and almost for a second tricks your brain into thinking it's actually as skinny as those Towers in Billionaires' Row by Central Park, NY. Anyways, stopped by today to snap some pics. It looks like they are just finishing some cladding on the one side, where the construction hoists have been. Would be epic if they finally broke ground on the one that is supposed to be beside it, where the Ziggys is.

(Some of) The new highrises of downtown Kitchener. The 3-towered Garment St. Condos on the left, the two phases of Station Park built so far. Then the TEK Tower on Francis Street, and Charlie condos.

There's been substantial progress since this was last updated, Building B is up to 4 floors, with A and C following behind both up to 1 floor.

@ZEBuilder Apr 28, 2026

The buildings entirely enclosed now with interior works underway, with the warmer weather they've started to work on the cladding.

@ZEBuilder Apr 28, 2026

This one is now up to the 4th floor. It took ages to get above ground but that was mainly due to a permit issue from my understanding but now it's going much faster.

@ZEBuilder Apr 28, 2026

Just two shots from the air. Tower 2 is still a work in progress.

I'm way behind on posting these photos but this one is topped out and the crane is down. They've started to do some minor landscaping works along Courtland now that they've completed site servicing works. I mentioned before but Cantiro owns the adjacent properties (red brick buildings) which they're going to partly demolish and put up stacked townhomes. The building directly abutting Courtland is historical (original Schneiders factory) so they can't demolish all of it and will be turning part of it into an apartment.

Northdale Waterloo - East Side

@ZachHiebert May 9, 2026

Went to pick up something in Waterloo today and wow this one really snuck up on me. Didn’t know they had made so much progress. I think the blue cladding looks kinda cool and helps it stick out. I often overlook waterloos skyline because it’s not as tall as Kitchener, but it sure is dense, and keeps getting denser which gives it a more urban feel. Also, it seems like so many towers here top out at a similar height, does Waterloo have a height cap?

Yesterday:

Northdale Waterloo - West Side

@ZEBuilder May 30, 2026

These are various shots from the last few month, funnily enough the first few shots were taken the same day as KhalilHeron went by, the test section of brick was completed on the University Ave side at that point. The second group of shots has them setting up for the brick along the LRT tracks along with the completed granular pad to allow for construction works for the pedestrian bridge. The mechanical enclosure on the roof was also framed in the second set of shots. April 29, 2026

Kitchener-Waterloo

@ZEBuilder May 30, 2026

Both of the cranes are up on this and the underground level is almost complete. It appears this is going to be precast just based on the lack of vertical rebar for shear walls but we'll see in the coming weeks if it is, it'll either be Fritz Alder or Stubbes if it is precast.

Great shots — really captures how fast the skyline keeps evolving. I work in exhibition design here in Dubai, so I always notice how much the architecture influences event spaces and stand design across the city too.
