At the last Built Heritage Committee, the City mentioned that the property (the Convent) has recently been sold and that the new owner has engaged an engineer to review the condition of the building. Apparently, the new owner is working collaboratively with heritage planning staff and building...

Is this building is both a rental apartment building with unit owned and managed by Taggart and a condominium with owner-occupied units? How does that work?

The wall is finished and it looks pretty good, IMO. Surprised to see the building overhang the adjacent property. That roof is going to get a beating from the rain, snow and ice that will fall onto it from the new building.

Too bad it is not a condo--I might have been tempted. I think the units would have sold well: nice building, great location close to amenities and many bike/scooter paths.

The Rhythm Apartment Building at Westgate shopping mall is the best designed building in the area. The suites are also very well laid out. A model to follow. Talisman across the street looks so "bleh" in comparison.

Confirmed that 1380 Wellington Street West is for sale: https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/27190129/6-richmond-road-ottawa-4303

Teal coloured panels? That's not at all the colour palette I was expecting. Looking at the renderings again, I just realized that the building is shown at the golden hour, when colours are not accurate and all look good. Love the balconies, but if the building ends up looking like the Icon, I...

1946 Scott Street: there's movement! We should create a thread. Signs have been attached to the chain link fence. The project is called "The West Vue": www.thewestvue.ca. There's no indication who the developer is or if the project has changed hands. The render on the website doesn't look too...

It's located in a very desirable area, it doesn’t need to invent its location. And the building looks good. I like the height, density, materials and colour palette! I also like that so may units have balconies. The developer could have simply copied this design for 335 Roosevelt instead of...

1946 Scott Street: the site has been completed cleared and a number of trees removed. Nothing new up on DevApps, but I wonder it means we will some movement here?

Agreed. Hopefully this project, along with Parkdale Collective will up everyone else's game (ahem 2026 Scott street). Are those water stains on those beautiful red bricks?

Steinberg! I believe Metro acquired a number of former Steinberg's stores when the chain went bankrupt years ago. Nothing to do with this store of course, and there may be no relation at all but still, seeing the name brought back memories of shopping at Steinberg's back in the day!

This project is going to the Committee of Adjustment on August 21 for permission to reduce the size and scale of the 2nd floor pedestrian bridge. Original design proposed a 4 storey bridge; it is now proposed to be a one-storey bridge. “Given the uncertainty of market demands and the resolution...

They are charging $50 for Internet Service as an option in addition to rent. Does anyone know what this is or what it is for? This is the first time I've seen this.

From a couple of days ago while walking in the area. Looking good! But I don't see any fins or waves.
