More illegal beige brick! I love it. It goes well with the registry office.

This is one spot where I would have been ok with charcoal so that the Registry could stand out more, but it does seem well done.

Very very nice.

I still laugh every time I see the Rideau Centre parking garage where they never bothered to install the decorative steel bars between the fins

Hoping that parking isn't long for this world. Maybe the arena will give an extra boost to the existing hotel boom. Maybe, if we're really lucky, the Province and Rideau Centre will announce the expansion of the Convention Centre into Nordstrom and a new hotel at the same time!

I see that the old Novotel is now a DoubleTree

I’m quite the fan of this building

It's really quite stunning. The balcony patterns work well here.

I hope it's a huge success and we see a proposal for the parking garage very soon after. This is the Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan (owner of Cadillac Fairview), so the pockets are immensely deep.

That is one fine looking building. Should really transform that area.

What are the spikes on the top right of the building?

glass for rooftop terrace probably?

That's what it looks like on the rendering, like a wind screen.

I very much think that area needs the parking garage lot to be redeveloped with street frontage retail and things that would be of service. Add in another residential tower and underground parking, and all of a sudden, you have a perfect addition to the Rideau Centre.

I hope they do something interesting with the remaining Nordstrom retail soon, it would be great to finally see something(s) come to life there.
