Council supports vision for the future of Bramm Yards
Council has approved the revised vision and development principles for the Bramm Yards Master Plan. The plan includes allocating up to $400,000 from the Environmental Remediation Reserve for pre-design reports necessary for the redevelopment of Bramm Yards at 55 Bramm Street and 130 Park Street. Additionally, staff will conduct a market assessment to determine the optimal timing for selling the property and identify potential development constraints to ensure a successful redevelopment process. Going forward, staff will collaborate with the University of Waterloo to ensure a shared vision related to the development plan for the Bramm Yards area (given the neighbouring Health Innovation Arena UW Health Sciences Campus).
Comprised of eight acres, the Bramm Yards is one of the most significant City-owned land holdings and is central to the city’s Innovation District. Redevelopment of the site aims to boost innovation employment and housing, support business growth in the Innovation District (Downtown Kitchener) and enhance municipal tax revenues. The initiative aligns with the city's strategic goals to cultivate a green city, build a connected city, and create an economically- thriving city.
