Dunns in the Market is shutting down for all the obvious reasons https://capitalcurrent.ca/if-were-hurting-everybodys-hurting-dunns-closes-byward-market-eatery/

This is just about to start rising. Grade in 3-4 weeks I figure.

11 stories so far. It's still invisible from most angles, but it will really start to impress in a couple of months.

The first glass is up on the big tower! We really are getting the vertical banding from the renders. It's a nice bronze tone, which I think will contrast very nicely with all the glass.

So cool...at least until the last minute Ottawafication occurs.

Web site and branding is up: https://www.themontereyottawa.com/

I just drove by, didn't have time for a pic. The cladding is going up. The tower is all nasty dark grey precast panels like the podium of Riverain.

This site is at around 92m elevation, around 20m higher than most of downtown, 40m higher than the flats. These would be very prominent on the cityscape.

Interesting they went with the Alibabalconies in the courtyard, but the over-slab frosted on the exterior facade. It's a really fantastic project overall.

Agreed

So the 28 story tower is going up next, and it's a full blown excavation already!!

Even here in Gatineau the charcwhites are generally vastly superior in execution. RLA is really the Dollarama Charchwhite firm. Neuf also seems to sleep through their Ottawa designs compared to their Québec designs.

The very first balcony glass is up...and it is most excellent!

I totally agree. It will be perfectly fine neutral filler once it's in the background, but right now it's just far too prominent and slablike.

Fantastic!

This design would look great in the 40-60s range. Claridge has an old proposal for the lot across the street.. Wouldn't it be something if they twinned this design with a taller tower with the wedge facing the other way?

TCU is so weird with their midrises. This one has a concrete first floor and wood on 2-6, the one on Cyrville is completely steel framed, and the one on Cummings is completely concrete.

I believe so!! I have long wondered when we would finally see one. I expected a 50+ floor build. I guess it makes sense here because of instructions.
