The base of this one is 21m higher than the base of Icon, it should have a relative prominence of 99m compared to the Little Italy cluster across the farm.

Hate that there is even a 24/30s option, but wow that podium looks great either way! Definitely a throwback to Les Terrasses and goes very well with City Hall.

Not sure, but that is very interesting! They could definitely build that 24s tower without affecting the current strip mall.

What I don't get about the Clemow sign is that it's just the name of the building, not a brand. SOHO is a brand on 5 buildings. Claridge is a developer. Luxo will be a brand on a four building complex.

From u/jayisabella on r/Ottawa:

I've been saying for years that Morguard gave up on this property. It's good to see tenants taking action.

Yeah it's a hot steaming pile of garbage. This is definitely the worst high profile project in the city in my opinion.

It ain't pretty, but it is an important thing for Ottawa!

I just wish it was taller. Give me this design in 40-50s. Still hoping it gets a taller twin on the Claridge lot across the street.

Whoever buys it really ought to reapply for proper density on this site.

I honestly wasn't looking forward to a potential 45 story Claridge building there until I saw the quality of this project and Hintonburg. Now I'm ready for Claridge to bring the heat!

An elevator and stairs here will be epic. The experience of walking/rolling between here and the bottom of the locks would be so much easier and more accessible.

Absolutely. I'm just worried about the fate of the Byward Market. It's still the historical core of the city, but it might be even more relegated to being a tourist trap once the Lebreton options become available to locals. Even the limited options at Lansdowne have drawn a lot of locals who...

Exactly. I have long wondered what the plan would look like for this one! It's fairly plane, but the podium really looks like a Terrasses de la Chaudiere throwback with the red brick, which I love. The towers are pretty plain in this early render, but I think that's a good thing. They really...

I'm hoping for Downtown 2.0 on LeBreton, with arts and entertainment and a healthy amount of retail mixed with high density housing. What I don't want to see on LeBreton is a forest of apartments without street life and retail.

Awesome insight, thanks for coming on and chiming in!

The second tower is reaching grade now!

There is a new ramp to the 416 about to be built at Barnsdale, so this will be extremely accessible soon.

Fun fact that I just discovered: You can copy and paste images into your comments, no uploading necessary at all!
