No amount of yellow panels could save this monstrosity...if they even bother with them...
It's funny that the Beaverbrook MEGANIMBYs fought tooth and nail against this perfectly fine plan and prompted a sale of the property and construction of a flat walls of soulless charcoal.

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

I think he means the public argued against what was a reasonable proposal so intensely the developer just dumped the property to a company who doesn't care and smashed through this travesty.
What stands out is how narrow that part looks, but also, is that brick brown? Though I appreciate brown over charcoal, this looks far worse than even the latest renderings. It's devoid of any detail or architectural flourish.
In any case, this looks like something that would be built in old Gatineau. I agree, the initial proposal was much better, and include a park instead of a surface parking lot.

Full Ottawaification achieved.

Sad that the parking takes up more space than the building itself. They could've done another building if they had situated the parking underground.
Yeah the size of the parking lot is jarring, and spoils the view for half the residents
Ok, so first off, sucks that what was supposed to be a park is a giant parking lot. Here's the initial proposal:
Devil's advocate, the parking lot has some landscaping (though I wish they had proper trees) and a pathway system. Colour of the project is not charcoal, but this dark reddish brown. Reminds me of some old Gatineau projects from the 2000s.
