It's a great start atleastA presume it's for access roads around the site during the construction.

We'll be having a bunch of hopping for the second tallest. I'm glad we are seeing movement on all 5 of these towers, which will bring up the avg height significantly. I really can't wait to see our two projected tallest though... that will be impactful. So as long as we can get all of these before 2030, we are looking good.Pretty crazy that Lux Place (115m) is about to become Ottawa's second tallest building, and soon after that Marriott Renaissance (118m) will likely be the 2nd tallest for a moment, and right after that Dream (124m) will become the 2nd tallest.
I wonder whether the Granite Curling Club twins (129m) or the Bus Station tower (127m) will be next...
Instead of using piles to reach down to bedrock, it was decided to dig all the way to bedrock (which is deeper than P2). So I actually think the dig will take a while unfortunately.Only 2 levels of parking, so hopefully its a relatively quick dig.
With all the money we've received from the Feds and Province for housing, and conditions for that money, I'm really hoping the City moves on the parcel between Dream and the Library quickly. Would be great to have that block over and done with by the end of this decade.My wish list, in order, for the next parcel lease would be:
1.An enlarged arena district with the Sens signed up
2.The escarpment South of the realignment
3.Community housing project between Dream and the Library
4.The temporary park next to the Claridge parcel
IMO, the parcel in the between should be a public plaza. Something like in Sauga would be crazy cool. Let me dream.My wish list, in order, for the next parcel lease would be:

Do you have any intel on the next phases of Riverrain and/or Claridge East Flats?So glad that they are doing both towers at the same time. Tower cranes are scheduled to be up by October.
Mississauga? Could you post a pic or Google Maps link?IMO, the parcel in the between should be a public plaza. Something like in Sauga would be crazy cool. Let me dream.
