One building. Rooftop to cellar.

165 King St W is where downtown Kitchener gathers. A 5,000 sq ft open-air rooftop up top. An exposed-brick cellar below. Workrooms, a kitchen, and a gym in between — and you can book it.

The Building

Take the tour, top to bottom.

Every floor does something different. Together they make one of the most useful buildings in the city.

This is a building with old bones on King Street — brick, air, and a view. The kind of place your event gets remembered for.

The Energy

Host something in a place full of builder energy.

This isn't an empty venue that comes to life once a month. The building runs all week — founders shipping, workshops in the cellar, socials on the roof. Host here and your event plugs into a community that's already building. The energy comes with the room.
