The City of Kitchener has given the stamp of approval on two stacked townhouse units that will see 64 new homes be constructed.

Council gave the go ahead during a Monday night meeting for construction to begin in Williamsburg and Centreville-Chicopee neighbourhoods.

The development on Cotton Grass Street within Williamsburg Town Centre will be 3.5 storeys, have 32 units, and have two and three-bedroom rentals. It will also back onto the park space of Max Becker Commons.

The other 32 stacked townhouse units in Centreville-Chicopee will be at the corner of King Street East and Morrison Road.

A vacant home and garage on the property will need to be demolished.
