That was quick ;). @hoggytime will not stand if a project is under construction and we don't have photos! (And I love it)

Would have been a cool mix of use but I'm guessing there is something about mixing residential and a gas station. I feel like I have experienced one in my life, I will try to remember where it was. We will have to start thinking of creative ways to incorporate urban gas stations (or electric...

haha! I actually might like the back side more? Although the curtain wall is nice on the front, there are a lot of things happening. Different colours of cladding, different colours on the vision vs spandrel glass, the curtain wall changing as it meets grade, etc. I think they should have only...

Or losing their life.

That entrance canopy is so unnecessarily tall.

The site plan is quite nice. They have managed to keep cars off most of the site and where there is a road through they have designed it as a woonerf. With the amount of density included here, the interior courtyards could be exciting places to be. Also before anyone focuses too much on the...

Excited for this one. Nice density for the area and a decent ground floor design. Both will improve the streetscape feel around here.

It's great though since by then the landscaping will be quite filled out. A promising start to Tunneys, now let's get the rest going!

In the end, it will look like blocks but veneer is much cheaper. And yep, assuming the horizontal gaps in the stone in the image I posted will be where the cladding will protrude.

New live entertainment venue to open at 47–57 Rideau Street The National Capital Commission (NCC) is excited to announce that it has signed an offer to lease agreement with Live Nation Canada, a global entertainment leader, for the operation of a live music and entertainment venue at 47–57...

From the construction update email.

This is such a garbage pile of bad architecture.
