great work, btap awesome contribution

Yeah, I wish they didn't commit like that to the gym. Added a weird layer where they have approval but won't do anything with it. Riocan could definitely sell to another developer, that would be the only shot we would have to see something go up. The lot across the street (with all the...

I'm fine with them waiting for Stage 2 to finish, but this is a prime development beside the mall so I hope it gets approved with no height drops or density drops. It also helped that they decided to aim for the 40 and 37 story because we haven't heard much from the other lot. The other...

This is honestly a good point. It definitely makes sense when you think about it more. My biggest gripes are things that would've promote more activity than just the arena or stadium.

Not too much new info, but "The city’s planning and housing committee is set to consider the application at its next meeting on July 3." https://obj.ca/ferguslea-proposes-highrises-near-bayshore-mall/

Yeah, I know we got the third tower increased, but losing that height on the tallest one is a big drop for me. The project was perfect as is. I just hope this finally gets approval and no more changes are coming.

I just realized that I was out of the loop on this proposal. They dropped the heights? That's so disheartening.. it was going to rival the Icon with what they were going for. I still like this project and it's a big impact for the area, but it kinda sucks for me.

I actually really like this project. Creates more local positions which can help reduce congestion and promote more public transit use for those within this part of the city. The roads are overloaded, at least these would go against common traffic. Only thing that sucks is component 1 (first...

I'm actually super amped to see this one go up. It's definitely one of my favourite projects at the moment, plus we have a good shot at actually seeing this one go up fairly soon!

This one will be a nice one to see go up, and it'll contrast well with the Granite towers. Drove by it the other day, it's pretty impactful to the area already!

Great news it got approved.. but yeah that timeline is way too slow. We would benefit so much from the whole lot redeveloping now, especially for pushing along a better Carling public transit. I would hope they start with building the towers around it and then letting them move into one of those...

Oh boy.

Look at that, 37 floors it is!

Mentioned on SSP, but this is pretty big news for the airport area: https://obj.ca/ottawa-international-airport-land-development-opportunities/

This is such a beautiful building. It's such a great addition.

It's funny, they were trying to cry that they were against the proposal and it wasn't about the "units". Yet we lost 430 units and they sat there congratulating themselves and are now quiet. Housing crisis where all we need are more units, and we cut those when those are the things that will...

That's another annoying one. If they had replaced it with something around the same size, I'd be less annoyed. The original proposal was way better, we downgraded this a lot. It's like we learned nothing from 1.0. It's so frustrating because if they just kept the original plan, invested in a...

This is a much needed win, especially after we lost that venue from Lansdowne. Glad to see it going near Rideau, it'll be a big help for the area.

I'm still super annoyed by the third tower being removed lol. Like come on.

This one will be a really great addition to Rideau. Can't wait to see them go up.
