You got it, Pontiac

Re-Welcome! 😅

I have the ability to work on the map portion on the backend, but I have to be completely honest, it takes enough work and adds enough value that it should be a paid position. The owners of Skyrise are really dedicated and supportive, but they need a paid position to develop that aspect of the site.

I'm worried that a lot of folks on SSP got turned off by using the wrong version of Skyrise and using the wrong search function. One of the little annoyances of Skyrise Ottawa is that you can access a broken version of the site at Skyrise Cities here...

I agree that the island has too much empty/institutional space between it and future Lebreton to make it a natural extension of the urban fabric there, but I am hopeful that it will get traction from it's proximity to a rapidly developing Hull including the new Outaouais Museum, the Quebec side...

I agree, but I can't imagine them recladding that much surface with real brick to replace those shitty precast panels. The original reclad proposal was absolutely incredible, though.

What would you like to see reclad? I like the mix after these two are done. I think Place du Portage IV and Place du Portage 1 are excellent and I hope they don't need building envelope replacement any time soon. Maison du Citoyen will definitely have a reclad as part of it's potential update...

Yeah it really is quite tucked away from most angles. It's only good ones are the coming up Nicholas from the 417 and the way it peeks over the convention centre viewing from Elgin.

Not that I've seen. I would love to get more details on it to give it it's own thread.

Still no vertical progression on the hotel as of today. The rebar is there for it, but so far they seem to have only poured the garage and are using it for staging the apartment. Curious that the Devapp sign is still on the fence as well, I thought they took those down once they are approved.

Hi everyone. Just want to touch base on how we are feeling about the split community nowadays. It seems that Skyrise is the more active building discussion forum, and Skyscraperpage is the more active 'everything else' discussion forum. I think it's because Skyrise is far easier to use and we...

This looks like a truly unique addition to the skyline. A flatiron looking design like the on the edge of the escarpment will be really striking! Context with Odenak: Some Massing:
