MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR OF CAMBRIDGE Dear Friends: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION iv AUGUST 2008 BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY It is a pleasure to present the 2008 edition of the Cambridge Business and Industrial Directory. As we look into the future, it is evident that Cambridge has a bright one. Whether it is rejuvenation and restoration of the core areas, to the development of new industrial parks, we believe these exciting new developments will have a positive impact on our community, our residents and our businesses. It is with pleasure that I share some of the highlights on behalf of Cambridge City Council about the important refinements that are shaping our strategic directions in the year ahead. The New City Hall Building will officially open for business early in February bringing together the historical old City Hall with a fresh new building that will enhance the workplace and offer more high-performance “green” amenities. What’s also exciting is the building’s potential for the highest certification from the Leadership in Environmental Design (LEED) experts which will make this the first City Hall in the country to achieve this recognition. Core Area development continues to be a focus for Cambridge. Blending the opportunity to provide the very best mix of development from luxury condominiums and affordable housing to new retail will boost the downtown skyline. The American Standard Building will take on a new life turning the landmark industrial building into an environmentally friendly, residential-commercial development. Luxury condominiums and apartments for active seniors would be key parts of the project, as would solar power and recycled materials. The Royal Hotel will get a new lease on life with the transformation of the main floor into commercial space, while the upper two floors will become upscale loft apartments. There are plans to preserve the Old Post Office’s magnificent history and Galt’s architectural beauty. Once revived, the intention is to open a fine dining restaurant with private conference rooms. On the former Kressview site, major development plans are underway that include a hotel, condominiums and a conference centre. This announcement has been well received by the local business community and plans are progressing towards a start date in 2009. Coupled with this is the decision of Cambridge Council to pass the site plan for Waterscape, a condominium structure on the Grand River just south of Galt Collegiate. Once again, the downtown core has been buoyed with this good news along with the announcement that the historic loft development at 19 Concession Street is going ahead.
