'Too Tall'. FFS. Here's how they would look in Calgary, a Canadian city around the same size (purple).

They just cancelled the Rapibus extension as well. https://www.ledroit.com/actualites/actualites-locales/gatineau/2026/02/26/le-prolongement-du-rapibus-mis-sur-la-glace-2RCOFZV3GNCLRB4U4IVDQDPHUU/

No surprise here: City council OKs construction of second tower for Andaz Hotel in the ByWard Market Mia Jensen February 25, 2026 A rendering of the proposed new tower of the Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market...

Summary from Rocketphish on SSP Ottawa Forum Asset Management is proposing to develop four (4) high-rise buildings and one (1) mid-rise building ranging from 9-storeys to 40-storeys in building height, at 530 Brisebois Crescent, part of the Forum Lands at 265 Centrum Boulevard. Ground oriented...

Almost at grade. This one is so slow.

Standard 5 story mid application cut for Ottawa. 40s will still make a huge impact here.

Same! I lived some of the best years of my life there. I still appreciate the spartan design philosophy. One bedroom apartments were $127k at launch.

I think it's lack of ambition and a city council stuck in 1996.

Seriously, who signed off on this?!? It would have been very pedestrian if all light gray, just housing for the sake of housing. Now it's forming into a blight.

That's so frickin cool. Calgary no longer has a monopoly on trains shooting out from under libraries.

I wonder why it's forming such a clump. That block is not part of the NCC Protected Views. The City controls the height there.

Can't wait for this. I can grab the tram right in front of my house to go there ...oh... wait..

Oh man that charcoal precast looks like shit.
