I'm going to add removing the Mackenzie King Bridge. Hasn't there been some talk of doing that in the recent past? It's such a blight and I can't see how it's necessary now the train is built. Sappers Bridge is the exact same distance to Laurier Bridge as Laurier Bridge is to Corktown bridge, so...

The dreary old 8 story tower next to Clemow at Bronson and Carling is to be converted to residential. No need to share any elevations from the Devapp, because they don't look to be changing the exterior much at all aside from adding opening windows and a rooftop amenity deck...

The LRT should replace the Queen Elizabeth Driveway and connect to Rideau Station east of Preston, connecting Lansdowne.

Here are the posters on site. Phase 2 will be a midrise where the mechanic shop is now, and phase 3 will be a signature tower, likely 30+ stories. Walmart will be demolished eventually for the second full phase in '15-50 years'. One really interesting tidbit is that the market in the middle of...

Some updates on this one. It will be built in two phases. Phase 1 Siteplan: Final Site Plan: New Elevations;

Inside Edge Properties is proposing a development consisting of a high-rise, 28-storey residential tower at 1657 Carling Avenue and 386 Tillbury Avenue. It will be massed towards Carling Avenue and sited on a 6-storey podium at the street edge which transitions upward to 9 storeys alongside and...

This has sneakily become one of the most exciting projects in the region. I really hope they are able to build out this vision without too much opposition from the neighborhood. It sounds like they've been working together, so fingers crossed!

That is a very cool and poignant momument

Wow, it really does fill in a gap, doesn't it? The market skyline would be pretty impressive by now if not for the stupid height restrictions.

Up to 18 floors today. It's showing up from many different angles on the skyline, it's not as blocked by Les Terrasses as I thought it would be!

I didn't realize that Bitheads had vacated Westgate a few months ago. The space is abandoned. Their website shows a Preston St. address. Shoppers is really the only major tenant left.

I'll take a few teal towers and Odenak red towers in the mix for sure. Anything to brighten up this cityscape.

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.
