For sure. Such a small addition will make a big difference. Little worried about the Marriott considering what Rimap has done on Rideau Street so far.

Took this one Thursday last week. The first two floors without the white bands.
I think they could have chosen a nicer glass, but overall, still pretty nice.

Too funny, I am here right now taking my first pictures of the curtain wall an hour after you 
This looks so much better than the blue tint in all of the renders, and the glass is super reflective.

I just noticed that the 12 floor balcony section on the taller tower is all poured now, and they are working on the first floor of glass curtain above now. For once in this city, a project is extremely close to render.

It's been said many times, but it's amazing how different this project feels from everything else built downtown, at least in terms of residential. Between this and the Lebreton developments (and to a lesser extent, the Claridge towers), the west side of downtown is really going to change in the next few years.

This and Parkdale collective definetly feel like Toronto projects and I love seeing them whenever I go by!
I get more Vancouverish vibes from Parkdale Collective...but this one...this one is something else. I feel like this one would be special in any city in Canada. When the Marriott goes up, I really think this project will be the ever-elusive 'Landmark' we have always sought but never built.

I think so too. I really think this project is going to be such a great addition to the CBD. And the Marriott will poke out, breaking the limit a bit. I would love if Main+Main had a parcel in Lebreton tbh, I think them and Dream are doing pretty good stuff (their Vanier project is lackluster, but I feel like NCC would work with them to replicate what we have with these 3 towers).

Awesome shots! I still can't believe this is happening in Ottawa...
Today. I am starting to realize just how tall and prominent the 29s tower will be on the skyline (for a couple of years until the Renaissance hides it). It still has another 8 floors to go!!!
It's interesting that I appreciate Moon/Skye more now that this is taking shape. They are so opposite, it's nice to have that kind of variety in Ottawa.

Wow, great progress pics, thanks! I've said it before and I'll say it again... my favorite project going up in Ottawa right now!!

Those overhead shots are great. The podium curves look really cool from up high
Amazing what happens when an out of town developer hires one of the world's top international architecture firms to design a project in Ottawa. Need more of this.
I wasn't sure about the glass at first, but now I'm convinced; it's very nice! Really wish the Relevé towers were 28 and 32 though, just to beat Moon handily.
