The whole 'Final Block of Parliament' thing and the whole idea of surrounding the Great Lawn with the missing link, the South Block, and the design competition...it was all for naught then. What the NCC/Feds want is cheap unnoticeable extra office space on Parliament Hill.

So what was the deal with the hyped up design competition? We're getting a few renovations and two of the most boring looking buildings built in a generation in Ottawa. No need for a design competition if they aren't going with a notable design and just building completely non descript office...

I actually love it. Ottawa needs some WeirdChitecture!

I imagine a tall lobby floor is needed to integrate the old garage

Oh, this keeps getting better...

It's a former gas station, so my best guess would be soil remediation prior to sale.

I just drove by, and the first pieces of rebar are hitting grade!

The project at 52 Garland is my project, these have nothing to do with it.

Really cool building for Ottawa...now, bring on THE SKY!!!!!

Wow, that's an angle I have never seen before! Where is this taken from?

I was talking to a site super on one of my jobsites across the street, and he said these bricks showed up on site right before the tariffs were implemented. This one is probably still on hold because of all the financial turmoil, but it shows the developer is still planning to move on it.

The podium is formed, the tower is about to take off.

Very cheeky move by Richcraft!!

Is everyone ready for some most excellent news to start off the weekend??? Frosted glass over the slab and clear glass above...all with black frames. Is this heaven?

It's a surprisingly large lot, I think they could fit a substantial amount of units on it.

I drove by yesterday. It's really impressive in scale.

The building I'm least excited about since...well, since the last Roderick Lahey building.

The staging area where the next two towers are planned has been completely cleared. It seems apparent we won't see another tower break ground any time soon, unfortunately.
