Galt City Centre & The Downtown Cambridge B.I.A. Area
The Galt City Centre Area, which is the central Business District of the former City of Galt, is comprised of multiple land uses including retail/office commercial, licensed restaurants, office related industry, government, community and public services.
The Grand River bisects Downtown Cambridge, creating two areas offering different land uses. The East Side, which is characterized by many heritage buildings, is the traditional retail and commercial district. The predominant land uses on the west side include public institutions, churches, professional offices and several old industrial properties. Two former industrial buildings have been designated as a "factory outlet district". The University of Waterloo School of Architecture opened in the former Tiger Brand building on Melville Street in 2004.
The old Hydro building at the corner of Wellington and Dickson Street was developed into the David Durward Seniors Centre. The Centre accommodates a wide range of recreational and fitness related activities for senior citizens throughout Cambridge. The building is also home to the Cambridge Centre for the Arts. This project is part of the Dickson Street corridor, which currently consists of the Historic City Hall and Archives, the Cambridge Farmers' Market Building and the Old Fire Hall. In addition, the new four storey Civic Administration Building is located on Dickson Street. The Gold LEED Certified building is approximately 85,000 sq. ft. and was completed in 2008.
Downtown Cambridge B.I.A.:
This area is the largest of the three B.I.A.s comprised of approximately 250 members. Retail, commercial, service and office space users are all well represented within the membership cross-section. The Downtown Cambridge B.I.A. can provide information on real estate availability, retail promotion, membership activities and services.
