What makes a skyline? Six buildings? Or a cluster, three? In two years, this will be a decent little cluster.

Once the Nelson dairy project gets started and the Westgate dev across the road is at least 3 buildings I would consider it a new skyline in my completely uneducated opinion. I think a skyline implies like at least 6 buildings. If its just this cluster and the Westgate it still wouldn't be a skyline IMO, it needs the rest of that Carling stretch (old Corel etc).
Same goes for the Westboro stretch, it needs at least those two 40s before it is approaching a skyline.

I definitely consider Westboro to have a skyline. It has 12 high rise towers, and almost 20 midrise buildings.
First crane at the back middle of the lot is up!!

I'm anxiously waiting to see what we'll get for the next phase. The first building (although some minor bait-and-switch) looks very similar to the renders the company keeps posting online, and the 2 other towers (in those same very renders) seem to be mostly glass/curtain wall with red accents... interesting...

Second, much taller crane went up on Friday.

Pretty crazy, but this is almost back at grade for that back tower.
Wild. I hope the glass doesn't get the ol' CharcWhite Switcheroo. This stretch desperately needs some CharcWhite alternatives.

Noticed all 3 cranes were up over the weekend.
Three cranes? I thought it would only be two.
Imagine if every multi-phase project in Ottawa was built this fast!!!
It's pretty wild that this project will have 78 floors of new residential built within a couple of years, while the Riocan project at Westgate has only built 25 floors in 5 years.

Really hoping we get the higher-quality, glassier designs in these phase 2 towers that the renders suggest.
