The City of Kitchener in collaboration with Metrolink continue to invest in major transit corridor and infrastructure improvements for an extensive Regional Express Rail Plan. Agreement negotiations are underway with CN to build a new corridor, delivering two-way all-day electric train service to Kitchener.
In addition to expanded GO and Express Rail service,
868 Million was invested into developing KW’s ION
Rapid transit system. When ION light rail launches in
2018, users can pay one fare and transfer seamlessly
between bus and light rail services. Ion will streamline
transit within the Region, operating on a 19-kilometre,
19 station route spanning from Conestoga Mall
in Waterloo to Fairway in Kitchener. DTK Condos is
located mere steps away from the Frederick Street ION
stop. The Provincial government has pledged $11
billion* for K-W high-speed rail link to Toronto. This
will shave travel time from the Kitchener Transit Hub
to the Toronto station to well under an hour. DTK is 2
quick stops to the future Kitchener Transit Hub.

People are moving here. Data collected by the K-W Association of Realtors in 2017 illustrates that the average sale price for a home in Kitchener Waterloo increased by 20.7 per cent year-over-year. This meant an increase from $387,291 to $467,513.
REAL ESTATE MARKET GROWTH
Never before has Kitchener’s real estate
market been more robust. According to The
Region of Waterloo 2016 Building Activity and
Growth Monitoring, Report, ( PDL-CPL-17-10 )
The total value of building permits issued for
new construction in Waterloo Region was 1.4
billion dollars in 2016, a substantial increase
of 36% over 2015 values and more than 30%
higher than the 10 year average.
2017 was the first time average sale prices
jumped above $400,000, just six years after
exceeding the $300,000 threshold. An increase
to $500,000 within one year is foreseeable, as
RE/MAX has forecast an average sale price of
$499,233 for Waterloo Region in 2018.
...The quality of life enjoyed in this Region has always been at the top, even though home prices have been relatively affordable. I think this secret is out now, and the activity of buyers from the GTA certainly demonstrates this...

RENTAL MARKET DEMAND INCREASES
The need for both urban and affordable condominium
and rental accommodations is evident. Demand for rental
accommodations across the Region increased by a record
setting 7% while vacancy rates dropped to a very low 1.9%.
KITCHENER VACANCY RATES PLUMMET
Between July 2016 and June 2017 1,293
condominium apartments were completed
with 30.3% of those being rentals. The rental
condominium apartment vacancy rate was a mere
0.7% in September 2017, indicating a lack of supply
and a high demand for luxury rental options in new
buildings with more amenities. These statistics
also verify that the rental demographic is willing
and wanting to pay a premium for a more luxurious
condominium rental rather than opting for traditional
purpose-built rental accommodations.
RENTAL HOUSEHOLDS SKYROCKET
Since 2011 the increase in number of rental households
by income has been staggering. Propensity to rent can
be attributed to aging populations and market changes.
There appears to be an increasing preference to rental
accommodations, even in the highest income earners.
Growth in demand matched unprecedented growth in supply.An improving job market for younger people, eroding affordability and strong immigration raised rental demand.ERICA MCLERIE, Senior Market Analyst, CMHC
Source: Rental Market Report Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge CMA, CMHC
Detached homes sold for an average price of $549,046 in 2017, an increase of 21.5 per cent over 2016. This rapid increase has made home ownership unaffordable. Condominiums now present the only affordable and practical option for many first time home-buyers.

With over 20 years of experience in urban development, IN8
Developments is dedicated to designing innovative, intelligent
and efficient housing solutions. A steadfast commitment to
excellence has enabled IN8 to successfully launch and rapidly
sell-out numerous projects in Southwestern Ontario. The
inaugural Sage Condos in Waterloo have become landmark
residences and have been a keystone project in establishing
IN8’s solid reputation in the Region. IN8 is committed to
developing in unique, profitable, and under-supplied locations.
With this in mind, IN8 believes Duke Tower Kitchener located
in a vibrant downtown core, is a stable and secure opportunity
that will be a long term benefit to any investment portfolio.

PROVEN SUCCESS FROM A LOCAL DEVELOPER
IN8 Developments is a local developer with a team of over
50 dedicated KW resident employees. IN8 takes pride in
making Kitchener-Waterloo a beautiful place to live.
IN8 Developments has crafted a residential concept that
has proven to be a successful and profitable investment.
Since the original Sage Condo project was completed
in 2013, IN8 has been the leading developer of student
condominiums with 10 Sage Condo projects in their
portfolio to date.
Investors of our first Waterloo projects realized an
accelerated performance in capital appreciation due
to the increased pricing in our subsequent projects.
Buyers of one bedroom units in Sage II realized a 35.6%
appreciation in the value of their condo versus the price
in Sage Platinum three years later.
