    Homelessness in the National Capital Region

    This is reminding me of this project in Fredericton: https://globalnews.ca/news/10439576/12-neighbours-community-fredericton-tiny-homes/ https://www.12neighbours.com/ I watched it be built out when I lived there and it has been a lifeline for people. It already helped quite a few get back on...

    Maison Riverain | 2 Montreal Rd. | 76/94/106m | 22/28/32s | Main+Main+Equiton | RLA

    It's just a recent re-adaption of those three towers we see in the background

    Azure Westboro | 2070 Scott St. | 83.4m | 26s | Azure | BDP Quadrangle

    The skyline west of Downtown is ending up being much higher quality than east of Downtown. I hope the East can catch up to what we are seeing in the West

    Maison Riverain | 2 Montreal Rd. | 76/94/106m | 22/28/32s | Main+Main+Equiton | RLA

    This is just disappointing. I thought this was going to be a new step for development projects in Vanier. I guess not.

    Ottawa | 70 Richmond Road, 376 Island Park Drive | 36m | 10s | Trinity Development Group | Hobin

    Nothing more heritage than the place where we gas up. You can tell which members of the heritage committee drive vs don't.

    LUX | 27/79/85/115m | 8/25/27/35s | DMA | PMA+Lapalme Rheault

    Taken on April 26th. It is quite imposing from the North. It screams for similar height or taller buildings around it (I mean other projects and not just the other Lux towers)

    Gatineau NCC Shoreline/Waterfront

    I'm very much hoping that Ruisseau de la Brasserie plan goes through because kayaking will be quite nice

    New Ottawa Civic Hospital | The Ottawa Hospital | HDR

    It's unfortunate they did not double-track the section under the parking garage. Doing so at a later date will be a complete hassle.

    Ottawa/Gatineau Infill Projects

    I feel that the aversion to colour is trying to placate as many people and make it so boring people won't disregard it based on looks. Quite unfortunate that we go for bland because too many people don't like "flair". Although it is possible that in 100 years, people may consider these types of...

    Tamarack Flora | 31m | 9s | Tamarack | Taggart | RLA

    That's just disgusting

    Element | 21m | 6s | Choice Properties+Woodbourne Capital | RLA

    Luxury is the new "typical"

    The Point [Kanata] | 1131-1151 Teron Rd. | 28m | 9s | Manor Park Management | Project1

    Wait, you mean that this building was "supposed" to look like the renders? Developers really do get away with murder in this city

    Parks, Plazas and Open Spaces

    Again, I might be disappointed with where the city currently is, but mindsets about Ottawa are changing. We aren't thinking this is a "small city" anymore, and th better urban design that comes with a "big city" mentality will start to permeate
  14. SweazyCavalry

    Parks, Plazas and Open Spaces

    Maybe not needed, but it is certainly nice (nicer than what we had). I hope more of the developments going into Centertown and west of the CBD include these plazas. The current CBD just doesn't have enough and/or is concentrated near the parliament

    Ottawa | 359 Kent | 93m | 27s | Taggart | Hobin

    It's time this Great Clump era ends. I'm not sure if councilors believe a table top is in "vogue" or what, but I'd rather not dream about cooking pancakes on my hometown's skyline

    Ottawa | 359 Kent | 93m | 27s | Taggart | Hobin

    At least 10 more stories please

    Neighbourhood - ByWard Market

    Critiques are well warranted. I guess adding cobble stone will take time, but the administrative burden the municipal government imposes on itself is frankly ludicrous.
  18. SweazyCavalry

    Maison Riverain | 2 Montreal Rd. | 76/94/106m | 22/28/32s | Main+Main+Equiton | RLA

    It just looks like a generic Federal Government Office building. Does not contribute much to Ottawa except density
