6-STOREY WOOD-FRAME RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
176 Regina St N, Waterloo, ON
This 7-unit, 35-bedroom apartment building will be one of the first 6-storey wood-frame buildings in Waterloo. A 2014 amendment to the Ontario Building Code increased the permitted height of certain wood-frame buildings from 4 to 6 storeys, with additional safety provisions not required for 4-storey wood-frame buildings. For this project, parking will be at surface at the rear of the property, with amenity spaces for residents in the basement. A contemporary street-facing facade of concrete will fit into the changing face of the neighbourhood.
