Holly’s Neighbourhood Café

Project overview

Originally constructed in 1912, 27 Roy Street is a historic home that reflects Kitchener’s early architectural heritage. The property was thoughtfully reimagined into a vibrant mixed-use development that preserves its historic character while meeting modern community needs. The revitalized building now includes Holly’s Neighbourhood Café and Studio27, an arts-focused commercial space, on the main floor, with rental apartments integrated throughout the upper and lower levels. The project demonstrates how adaptive reuse can support heritage preservation, contribute to missing middle housing, and create a dynamic community destination.
