Parkdale is getting much better quality buildings than most of the CBD, and especially Rideau. If the quality stays up there, I have high hopes for the results of Tunney's Pastures redevelopment (if the Feds ever get going on it)

I honestly like the contrast between both towers. Yes, we may all agree that Relevé is the better-looking one out of both, but the framing of Relevé with a boxy brick and precast tower instead of another copy or similar glass tower really makes it shine that much more

Well, I was referring to the other sections in blue, not uniquely the golden triangle. But I still can't believe how the neighbourhoods in purple have also been protected from the basic laws of the market. In any free market, these areas would be filled with a variety of housing options, but not...

This view really highlights how the "CBD" is very limited and how small "downtown" really is. If this was another city in Ontario, Multiplexes and towers (big and small) would probably extend south to the 417. All I see are homes and a few plex conversions until Ottawa's Kowloon wall strip

This is reminding me of this project in Fredericton: https://globalnews.ca/news/10439576/12-neighbours-community-fredericton-tiny-homes/ https://www.12neighbours.com/ I watched it be built out when I lived there and it has been a lifeline for people. It already helped quite a few get back on...

It's just a recent re-adaption of those three towers we see in the background

The skyline west of Downtown is ending up being much higher quality than east of Downtown. I hope the East can catch up to what we are seeing in the West

This is just disappointing. I thought this was going to be a new step for development projects in Vanier. I guess not.

Nothing more heritage than the place where we gas up. You can tell which members of the heritage committee drive vs don't.

Taken on April 26th. It is quite imposing from the North. It screams for similar height or taller buildings around it (I mean other projects and not just the other Lux towers)

I'm very much hoping that Ruisseau de la Brasserie plan goes through because kayaking will be quite nice

It's unfortunate they did not double-track the section under the parking garage. Doing so at a later date will be a complete hassle.

I feel that the aversion to colour is trying to placate as many people and make it so boring people won't disregard it based on looks. Quite unfortunate that we go for bland because too many people don't like "flair". Although it is possible that in 100 years, people may consider these types of...

That's just disgusting

Luxury is the new "typical"

Wait, you mean that this building was "supposed" to look like the renders? Developers really do get away with murder in this city

Again, I might be disappointed with where the city currently is, but mindsets about Ottawa are changing. We aren't thinking this is a "small city" anymore, and th better urban design that comes with a "big city" mentality will start to permeate

Maybe not needed, but it is certainly nice (nicer than what we had). I hope more of the developments going into Centertown and west of the CBD include these plazas. The current CBD just doesn't have enough and/or is concentrated near the parliament

It's time this Great Clump era ends. I'm not sure if councilors believe a table top is in "vogue" or what, but I'd rather not dream about cooking pancakes on my hometown's skyline

So in short, Yes
