  1. SweazyCavalry

    Ottawa | LeBreton Arena | Populous

    For us from Orleans, CTC will always be known as "Kanata"
  2. SweazyCavalry

    Tremblay Station | ?m | 30s | Colonnade BridgePort+Fiera | Hobin Architecture

    I'm placing my bet on site-prep, awaiting interest rates to lower until this can pencil out financially

    Ottawa | Gladstone Village | OCH | DSAI + Hobin

    Certainly much more like tentacles

    New Gatineau Regional Hospital | 600 Beds

    I mean not just in healthcare, but in general investments and attention from the provincial governments. Of course they'll make sure you get care for serious medical situations. But outside of that? How about transit? How about receiving proportional funding to population? It's just the reality...

    Everest Heights | 355-374 Everest Pvt. | 8s+8s | 25m+25m | Heafey | Pierre Martin

    Is there any further updates if this build has finished?

    New Gatineau Regional Hospital | 600 Beds

    After being in Quebec City, it is just night and day the care and attention + resources they pour here vs Gatineau. It's not just shocking, but frankly insulting.
  7. SweazyCavalry

    Place des Pionniers [Aylmer] | 115 Rue Principale | ?m | 3s | Ville de Gatineau | In Situ+DMA

    I frankly find this decision insulting. Is there a way (let's say through popular referendum) that the community can reverse this decision. I'm not too familiar with Gatineau by-laws

    Bloome Appartements [Hull] | 306-308 St. Joseph Blvd. | ?m | 2x10s | Groupe Kevlar | Forme Studio

    This is not something unique to Gatineau. I find that the ones in Quebec City are identical. Monolithic fairly good quality designs

    New Gatineau Regional Hospital | 600 Beds

    It's the curse of l'Outaouais: too "Ontario" for the provincial government to actually give a damn
  10. SweazyCavalry

    951 Gladstone | 118/112/104m | 35/33/30fs | CLV/PBC | Hobin

    I believe that wanting a quicker approval process instead of dealing with the city for at least another year is a major issue. But I do agree, there is no view plane west of the CBD, so nothing should prevent a tower going to the 40 or even 50 story mark. I personally believe that much of the...

    New Ottawa Civic Hospital | The Ottawa Hospital | HDR

    Still surprised by how massive the parking structure is. Just thinking these are only to store cars.
  12. SweazyCavalry

    265 Catherine St (Former Greyhound terminal) | 109.88/116.65/126.7m | 32/34/36s | Brigil | BDP Quadrangle

    I moved to Québec. Although grocery prices, gas, and transport are more expensive, at least I was able to afford to buy

    265 Catherine St (Former Greyhound terminal) | 109.88/116.65/126.7m | 32/34/36s | Brigil | BDP Quadrangle

    I told my parents that unless housing costs get reasonable in Ottawa, don't expect me to move back
  14. SweazyCavalry

    New Gatineau Regional Hospital | 600 Beds

    I cannot for the life of me understand why they did not go with Carrière. It's already on the rapidbus
  15. SweazyCavalry

    1071 Ambleside Dr | 96.5m | 32s | Osgood Properties | RLA

    At least it's close to Line 1
  16. SweazyCavalry

    Ottawa's Skyline

    Well just because other cities are as bad does not mean we should excuse politicians in Ottawa. I'm not clamouring for 20-story buildings everywhere, but I am pointing out that there is a lack of a sprinkle of towers, 10-story, 6-story, 4-story, and du/tri/multiplexes because everything is...

    Ottawa | Parkdale Collective | 96m | 31s | Richcraft | TACT

    Parkdale is getting much better quality buildings than most of the CBD, and especially Rideau. If the quality stays up there, I have high hopes for the results of Tunney's Pastures redevelopment (if the Feds ever get going on it)
  18. SweazyCavalry

    Relevé | 78+95.5m | 23+29s | Main+Main+Westdale+Centurion | Arcadis IBI

    I honestly like the contrast between both towers. Yes, we may all agree that Relevé is the better-looking one out of both, but the framing of Relevé with a boxy brick and precast tower instead of another copy or similar glass tower really makes it shine that much more
  19. SweazyCavalry

    Ottawa's Skyline

    Well, I was referring to the other sections in blue, not uniquely the golden triangle. But I still can't believe how the neighbourhoods in purple have also been protected from the basic laws of the market. In any free market, these areas would be filled with a variety of housing options, but not...

    Ottawa's Skyline

    This view really highlights how the "CBD" is very limited and how small "downtown" really is. If this was another city in Ontario, Multiplexes and towers (big and small) would probably extend south to the 417. All I see are homes and a few plex conversions until Ottawa's Kowloon wall strip
