15 Cedar St N. is a modern, transit-oriented development in the heart of downtown Kitchener, brought forward by Hillside House Design + Build and Lands and Yards Developments. The project comprises 10 thoughtfully designed townhome units, offering a mix of eight 3-bedroom homes ideal for growing families and two 2-bedroom units tailored for young professionals.

Each residence embraces open-concept layouts, abundant natural light, and flexible living areas that easily support hybrid work lifestyles. These homes respond directly to the evolving needs of today’s urban households.

Located steps from the ION LRT and major bus routes, the project encourages a car-free and eco-conscious lifestyle. Residents enjoy walkable access to amenities, parks, cultural venues, and the vibrant energy of downtown Kitchener. This development represents more than just housing—it reflects a vision for connected, sustainable urban living.

The architecture is grounded in the existing streetscape while introducing a fresh, modern design language. Every decision was guided by efficiency and cost-conscious principles, ensuring long-term accessibility without sacrificing quality or aesthetics. The result is a careful balance of contemporary style and practical functionality.

Delivering 15 Cedar St N. required overcoming notable site challenges. The property’s past required extensive environmental decontamination, ensuring full compliance and long-term site safety. Tight urban setbacks demanded precise planning to maximize space while preserving design integrity. Combined with a compressed construction timeline, the team adopted innovative building strategies and streamlined coordination to deliver the project efficiently and to a high standard of craftsmanship.

The finished development stands as a strong example of attainable infill housing, smart urban density, and design-driven solutions shaped for the future of Kitchener.
