I hope the red trim comes across as a nice dash of colour, and not an incoherent mess like Loop.

I can't change the database like I can change a thread, it's more complicated. I have would love to start doing database updates and new entries, but it's very time consuming, and time is not something I have had a lot of in the past year.

The trim is nearing completion on all facades. I'm not blown away by the design of the tower, but the podium and the mid rise look fantastic. I think it will all come together when the next two towers are built.

This would be such a cool...dare we say...'Landmark' project, were it not 25/27s. 30/32 or more would be great. At this height it'll be lost in the sauce from most angles, not in the tabletop (yet), but tabletop adjacent.

Holy Brooke Claxton Building Building, Batman! Looks pretty cool tbh.

Docs should be up later today or tomorrow for the residential conversion of 535 Legget https://ottwatch.ca/devapp/D02-02-24-0058

With Sky

A couple of perspectives:

Even from the flat roof it's 147m, and from the cornice around the roof it's 149m. By proper CTUBH standards, though, this is a 151m building from grade to architectural tip. Most of our numbers on new buildings are dead accurate using the new imagery, but not for Icon. This is a skyscraper.

This one is exactly 115m using new Google Earth imagery.

This one is bang on 102m using the new Google Earth imagery.

It was originally 60, but I'll take 50. Shovels in the ground now please. The new design is pedestrian and inoffensive, but would look great next to Sky's curves (if it ever gets built).

I measured from the top of the stairwell, not the HVAC, I should have clarified.

WE HAVE A SKYSCRAPER!!!! Google Earth finally has the updated imagery, and I was able to measure from average base to architectural tip. Claridge Icon is exactly 151m tall, making it Ottawa's first skyscraper.

Docs are up now. What a horrible joke they are playing. The downgrade is just massive.

This one has a name now Magnolia Square

Devapp for the North Stands is posted, but no docs yet https://ottwatch.ca/devapp/D07-12-24-0178

The new 3d imagery on Google Maps is gone for me today. I was having a blast with that. Does anyone else still see the updated imagery?

Very different shades

The pit is ginormous. Must be a tonne of parking going in.
