Downtown Development
Historically, downtown Kitchener has been the focal point for the Region of Waterloo. It’s been a centre for trade. For politics. For transportation. For entertainment, the arts and culture. Downtown Kitchener is the heart and soul of this community.

Over the next few years, the City will invest more than $86 million in downtown Kitchener, helping to bring to life two new university campuses, a new central library and streetscape improvements that are destined to transform this city centre into one of the country’s finest.

Add to that loft condominiums, a new children’s museum, a vibrant new urban market, major companies relocating to the core and plans for even more housing and retail opportunities and you have a recipe for success.

Downtown Kitchener is on the edge of a new frontier.
