Waves starting to form on Scott. To give people not familiar perspective this is from Scott where the two 40s are planned. That green and white on the left is another proposed tower as well. This stretch of Scott near Westboro station will be TALL (for Ottawa).

The partner builder went bankrupt in covid. This will start back up eventually.

It also got the name Sandy Hill for a reason. One that isn't exactly conducive to building tall condos. IMO Centretown is a bit much in it's protection. I would have preferred the city went 4 stories everywhere and 6 stories on minor collectors or corner lots. We are far too restrictive in...

Pretty much all of them. So many of those apartment parking lots could be buried under a new building. Especially where the majority I see aren't fully occupied with cars anyways.

Brick is in on the backside, note the green on top will be some other material. This is from the parking behind Brassica/Happy Goat.

Let's be honest here, this isn't a well-heeled area where people are clamoring to move so it kind of tracks.

Eh, the building isn't pretty but its the random brick patches that move this from being a bottom of the mid-tier category to just WTF and a stain on downtown. Hopefully someone goes up on the parking lot beside the blank wall though because those things are a travesty in my opinion. They...

Ahh my apologies, I only frequent the buildings forum.

If any photo nerds are out this weekend, you get a pretty perspective from the Bronson and Slater intersection that I am not seeing anywhere yet. The nice Zibi tower is framed by the library which itself looks monumental from that perspective..

One crane is up on the South east

I knew of all of those except Doran, which why I didn't think they really had the ability to do any large multi-residential since I had only seen things like the Tamarack Flora etc. I had assumed they had made the fatal Campeau mistake and had their capital all tied up in land.

They feel massive when you drive down Carling, when you see from the side it is actually reasonably slender. The south side of the road will need to be very broken up to prevent a canyon effect when it develops in 25-50 years.

The brick on the west side is not as nice as the frontage on Carling but overall it’s looking less ugly than their 2 pixel renders.

When it’s a rental building then can go nuts. To me it’s gaudy when they do it in a condo though.

Is Taggart actually building anything they propose though? I thought they are just throwing up a bunch of proposals with no intent to build in any sort of reasonable timeline. I vaguely remember the Central Farm Shadower Deluxe being 10+ years away.

Windows starting to go in on 2nd floor, they look to be good quality and match renders.

This is core Westboro, its next door to Equator and Lululemon and a 2 min walk to MEC. It’s bananas they didn’t put retail.

Vertical down that whole un-bricked face. 🤑
