how DARE they follow the permit drawings exactly! lol, don't they know they're in Ottawa??
With both this and Relevé, I still can't believe the final (or close to the final) products match the renderings almost exactly. Renaissance will as well it seems (though Rimap did cheap out with their two Market projects, but so did M+M with Riverain, tbf I think they are minority partners on that one).
That said, although Odenak is of a quality we haven't seen in Ottawa, it's probably a far cheaper build than it looks. The podia are complicated, but the towers are very simple with basic rectangular floor plates. The panels are prefab and very easy to install, requiring far less labour. Parking is only two levels down, and didn't require too much excavation because the site was already a bit of a hole. They got the site for cheap because of the significant affordable housing component.

I'm inclined to agree with you. The exteriors are moving very quickly.
I like what I see of the railing so far. That will some nice contrast and pair well with the black windows. Also looks like there is some type of pattern cut into them as well which will help break them up a bit as there is a lot of linear feet there.
Was also good them to make some of the shaping irregular by dipping in and out in certain places.

wow at it's current height it sets the tone and potential impact for the up and coming renaissance like shave a meter or 2 off this and plop it right where the renaissance will be and you get a pretty good idea of the impact of these new buildings.

Both this and Renaissance are huge additions. I'm so excited for them. These are coming out beautifully.
Odenak Roof Height is 123.7m, not sure why we have 120m on the thread title.
Yesterday afternoon. Working on the slopped roof.

Ohhh yeah baby! It's going to be like a Christmas present when that safety screen comes down. I don't imagine we will get much in the way of eyes on the roof until its done. I'm glad it has a significant grade to it per the renders. You can get idea of the slope just by the safety screen.
So the western tower will effectively add almost 3 floors of height at the peak of the roof. East tower will be closer to 2 as the roof there pitches up the narrower side of the building.
Still curious why they elected to use the safety screen on this project for the first time and not a spot like Releve for example. I know they are using the common area and podiums as a staging area but that isn't really unique. Certainly a nice placard location for Belai and Westview.

@hoggytime if you're taking out your drone soon for the Civic, could you try and get a close-up shot of the roof of Odenak? There's one drone channel on YouTube that's done it a few times. Hope he does it again soon before the screen comes off.

Again, some different perspectives on this one.

Really cool to see the final top-out structure go up!
