Hespeler Village District & The Hespeler Village B.I.A. Area
The Hespeler Village District primarily serves the trade area north of Highway #401, and includes holding companies, wholesale industries and business service industries.
Located in the Speed River Valley, the Hespeler Village District accommodates businesses comprised primarily of service, commercial and convenience retail outlets. Floor space rents in this area are very competitive and encourage start-up opportunities.
The commercial role of the Hespeler Village District is clearly in transition. The re-alignment of Highway #24 around the core area has created a quaint shopping environment.
Much of the new subdivision activity within the City of Cambridge will take place within the Hespeler planning district within the next decade.
A recent study undertaken by the City of Cambridge, has identified several elements of a revitalization strategy for the Hespeler district. The underlying appeal of the area lies in its location abutting the heritage designated Speed River and the redeveloped parkland along the riverbanks. The industrial heritage of Hespeler is undergoing some change with the redevelopment of some of the old textile factories within the area. Several architecturally significant buildings dot the Hespeler Village District, including the Post Office, Town Hall and Hespeler Library. The former American Standard factory building will be converted into future residential development.
Hespeler Village B.I.A.:
This district consists mainly of businesses located along Queen Street with a total membership of approximately forty businesses. Their goal is to rejuvenate community pride and business activity in the Hespeler area.
