    Alto High Speed Rail

    I wonder why either Hamilton-London (current combined metros around 1.4 million) or Kitchener-Waterloo-London (current combined metros around 2.4 million including Cambridge/Guelph) aren't part of the masterplan (yet). People already commute from K-W/Cambridge/Guelph to Toronto on slow trains...

    Confederation Heights

    Isn't Booth shovel ready, just waiting for a developer(s) to bite?

    Ādisōke - Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada Joint Facility | ?m | 5s | City of Ottawa | Diamond Schmitt | U/C

    I was just looking at my Google Earth and laughing to myself about the hundreds of times I've heard 'Why didn't they build the Library downtown, they should have built it Downtown, blah blah blah. Meanwhile, in the near future we'll see (I think) 2 escarpment lots, the OCH lot which could hold...

    Ādisōke - Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada Joint Facility | ?m | 5s | City of Ottawa | Diamond Schmitt | U/C

    I'm pretty sure Adisoke will be tied with Calgary for me when it's finished. I've spent a lot of time at the Calgary branch, and it's my current #1. Vancouver was very impressive as well, definitely my #2. Grand Bibliotheque is the #3 I have visited. I'm sure it would lose a spot if I visited...

    PANORA [275, rue de Bruxelles] | ?+? | 8+11s | Junic | NEUF

    Absolutely. Even a slow tram will absolutely destroy a car's time to and from Downtown, especially as the growth continues. From Aylmer, Some days lately it takes 2 hours each way for me to take my daughter to school in Pineview and back.

    315 Miwate at Zibi [Block 204] | 74.57m | 23s | Dream | NEUF

    Oof that's horrid...but a totally different style of building, and the red makes it look worse. I think the beige at Zibi will offer a nice contrast. I love that every building on the Ontario side so far is unique in Ottawa. I just found this render that shows the beige look,

    7000 Campeau | Kanata Lakes Redevelopment | Clublink, Minto, Richcraft

    I feel like this should be in 'Real Estate' instead of 'Building', thoughts?

    315 Miwate at Zibi [Block 204] | 74.57m | 23s | Dream | NEUF

    We'll, what a treat! It's not a CharWhite after all, what's white on the renders is a nice beige spandrel. This is something new for Ottawa.

    PANORA [275, rue de Bruxelles] | ?+? | 8+11s | Junic | NEUF

    They really really really have to get rid of the street parking and double lane blvd du Plateau. Insane density, and more every day, and that road is a traffic nightmare.

    Gladstone & Loretta | 951 Gladstone | 114.8/136/145m | 34/38/40f | CLV/PBC | Linebox

    I think it's just a property hold. They'll wait until the arena is under construction and then try to attract a larger developer... possibly one of the large Toronto developers that hasn't invested in Ottawa yet. This is an enormously valuable lot.

    General Update/Rumour Thread

    Sorry folks, I'm a little behind on new thread creation, been sick for a few days. Hopefully get to them soon, a lot of activity last week!

    281 boulevard Saint Joseph [Hull] | Cegep de l'Outaouais residence

    It reminds me of Riverview Centre in Aylmer a bit. Different shape, but similar era of design.

    Canevas (Formerly Place Cartier) [Hull] | ?m | ?s | Brigil | ?

    No charcoal or white bricks...is this legal? I love it.
