Recent Commercial Development Sales in Waterloo Region

This afternoon I was showing an investor a multi-family property that is for sale, along with an additional land available for development.  When we got up on the roof, we had a good view of the King Street, Spruce Street and Regina Street corridor in Waterloo, Ontario

There have been some notable commercial transactions in the area since 2008, including some of the student rental apartment buildings in the image above and below. 

Most of the sales in the area over the past few years have been new construction development projects, where developers are assembling a number of lots, knocking them down, and building a larger property. 

In terms of cash flow, the highest and best use in the area is student rentals.

There were taken today (March 12, 2010) so that big construction site is in the process of going up.  That will certainly be a large apartment building!
