Located at 1001 King Street East, this new development by Vive Development is set to become a landmark in Kitchener, branded as "Eureka". The project will honour the history of the Onward Manufacturing Company, incorporating original design details from its former headquarters into the modern residential structure. This 29-storey purpose-built rental will offer 514 units, blending contemporary living with a nod to the past.
Eureka will provide a range of amenities designed for modern living, including a dog exercise area and live-work units, promoting a vibrant, live-play lifestyle. Direct access to the LRT station running along the rear of the property on Ottawa Street ensures residents have exceptional transit connectivity, making it easy to travel throughout Kitchener-Waterloo.
The building will be a total precast structure provided by Stubbe's Precast, ensuring both durability and an efficient construction process. Jackman Construction has been hired as the contractor for the project, overseeing the building of this significant residential development, which broke ground in late 2024.
