Andaz Ottawa Byward Market | 59m+60m | 16s+17s | Claridge Homes | NEUF

Anybody sure of what design, format or height we're getting here?
Based on the hotel's renderings that show the apartment building behind, seems to be the same proposal as in 2013, so 23fl/70m.
 
Still no vertical progression on the hotel as of today. The rebar is there for it, but so far they seem to have only poured the garage and are using it for staging the apartment. Curious that the Devapp sign is still on the fence as well, I thought they took those down once they are approved.

The whole tower proposal and approval process was packaged into the process for the original Andaz back in 2013-2014. At the time, the Andaz took up all the oxygen because of the debate on reusing the Union du Canada building vs building new. People flipped about the height, so they ended up building new instead (converting an office building with taller floor plates vs new building with lower hotel ceilings).

Claridge hasn't released anything new other than a couple renderings of the new hotel that has some ghost renders of the apartment building in the background (that looks the same as the 2013-2014 proposal).

Honestly, I wonder if we should have a new thread for this hotel since it's no longer an expansion of the Andaz, but a stand alone Hyatt.

EDIT: Claridge calls it an addition to the original Andaz, but it's a totally separate building and branding (though still under the Hyatt family) connected with a skywalk.
