Yes, top out is projected by October 2026. This project is a logistical nightmare with Slater St being the only staging and work area that also has lane use time restrictions. Once they hit typical floors with the fly forms, you are looking at an average of 7-8 days per floor plus more for the...

Yes, that is the plan. It's all owned by the same person. Preliminary massing plans are hopefully going to be completed by the end of the year. This is very early on so don't get too excited yet.

The 36 floor tower is slated to top out by March the latest...depending on winter conditions though.

Not much anyone could do since Mr. Flemming refused multiple offers to sell that property. It may happen eventually, but not anytime soon. Good news is that there are very preliminary discussions on a potential developer team getting together to put together a proposal for "L" shaped lot 368...

Move-ins for tower A have been ongoing for a while. Tower B will start move-ins within the next few weeks.

Second floor forming has started. This one will take approximately two and a half weeks to complete and then the tower will start rising rapidly.

Since the balcony glass topic is the 'current thing' on these forums, I am happy to share that the balcony glass at Renaissance will be bypassing the balcony slab edge with a shaded frit section of glass. It will be a step up from the Releve's tin covering the balcony slab edges. Maybe it will...

Correction! The remainder of the P1 level slab will be poured this week. The ground floor will take some time due to five different slab elevations and beams. Just a heads up before the ‘it’s taking forever’ comments start.

Yep! The remainder of the P2 level slab will be poured this week.

That glass is not Balcony glass but the plan was to have frosted glass for the balconies which were to cover the face of the balcony slabs however, that was over a year ago that the tender went our for that. Things change so just be patient and expect the worst! I believe all of the band wagon...

Yes, the Sky is coming soon however, with a bit of disappointment. Too bad they couldn't have screened in the generator and cooling tower here. Such an eyesore on a nice build for Ottawa standards.

There's a thread for that. https://ottawa.skyrisecities.com/forum/threads/odenak-665-albert-st-105-120m-31-36s-dream-multifaith-perkins-will-kpmb-two-row-u-c.37152/page-13#post-2215889

That is the main intent at this point in time however, other options are being looked at.

The other two are the U of O building across the street (former Quality Inn) and the corner of Rideau & Friel.

This is actually a self climbing Luffing Crane. The climbing frame will be added at the first crane raise stage. It is the first for Ottawa for this model of Luffer. Typically Luffing cranes are within the building footprint and have a raising system the within the crane tower itself.
