I frickin' love how they sloped the penthouse to exactly match the view plane 😅

I don't know about that. We still have at least a decade of just catching up on housing stock for the current market as is, I think developments will keep rolling right through this bump on the road.

That was fast!!! Maybe this won't be an empty lot for long after all!

West Tower right now: First panelling is up on the East Tower!

No doubt! There is no better place for our new tallest to be built considering the hospital! Now we need Arnon to get off their asses and show us a new proposal with a grocery store on their lot in the middle of Little Italy!

Here's hoping the reason Claridge has slowed down so much lately is to ramp up for this one!!!

I'm thinking maybe this lot? Good to see more density at a future O-Train station!

They need to move Confederation Boulevard to the Chaudiere instead of the Portage and market it heavily. The War Museum, Chaudiere Falls, Adisoke, The Holocaust Memorial, the upcoming Outaouais Museum and Aghanistan War memorial need to be on it.

Spicy render in the new Heron Gate Urban Design Brief https://ottwatch.ca/devapp/D07-16-25-0013 The 25 story cap seems arbitrary and annoying to me. More variety would be nice

So it looks like we are getting a 36 story 112m building shortly, and who knows what and when on the other side. What a crazy journey this one has been.

No, only part of it is protected

I think it looks absolutely fantastic, I have seen it in person many times and I love it!

Looks like precast concrete to me. Rimap doesn't seem to care much about quality in Ottawa. Their Montreal hotels are flashy as can be, but Moxy and AC are riddled with precast and look lowest bidder.

Pagoda!
