305 King St W is a modernist office tower built in the 1960s that has been transformed into an innovative hub for new economy businesses. Located in the Innovation District of downtown Kitchener, this 12-storey building has floor to ceiling glass windows, an on-site gym, restaurant and spin studio.
The rebranding of Kitchener as a startup city has encouraged developers to take underused and abandoned buildings and turn them into much-in-demand workplaces. Among them are 51 Breithaupt Street, the restored factory that now houses Google’s Canadian engineering headquarters, the officer tower at 305 King St W, and a renovated furniture factory at 117 King St West.
But there’s also an older brick-and-beam building that a developer is now renovating for startups to move into -- the American Block at King and Queen streets. John Litt, who owns the American Block, bought it earlier this spring and is already starting renovations.
This building is now home to mobile payment startup Square, alongside Gilt, a wine and tapas bar, and Pure, a cafe and juice bar. This is the latest in a series of old city centre buildings that are being transformed into new-economy workplaces, says Mark Regier, head of real estate at Perimeter Development Inc.
