Project Information

Development Vision
Surrounded by residential, Kaufman Park and Rockway Golf Course, the Schneider redevelopment project will add to the Mill-Courtland neighbourhood and is only a short drive to downtown Kitchener. Auburn Developments will be transforming the former Schneiders site into a higher density, mixed-use development that will exist in close proximity to two ION Rapid Transit stations.
The mixed-use addition to the neighbourhood will include a range of low, mid and high-rise housing options; street-fronting retail spaces; and opportunities for a diversity of spaces for employment uses. Non-residential uses will include opportunities for retaining and repurposing some of the existing buildings on the site to create distinct, vibrant commercial spaces.
Through new urban streets, a series of parks and plazas, and green infrastructure, the redevelopment will consider sustainable approaches as it concerns site and building design.
Kitchener’s
industrial
legacy
Kitchener’s industrial legacy
Kitchener’s landmark Schneiders plant officially closed its doors for business in February 2015. After ninety years of production, the closing of the plant was the end of an era for the community. For years, the Schneiders property supported thousands of working people and families. It is important that the redevelopment pays homage to the significant role that the Schneiders site had on residents and neighbours in Kitchener and beyond. The Schneiders redevelopment has remarkable potential, and will be transformed by the Kitchener community, for the Kitchener community.
