It's only for private events these days unfortunatelyIs it open to the public as a restaurant or only open for private bookings? Could've been a fun spot for drinks and a future Skyrise/Skyscraper Forum meet-up

General Update/Rumour Thread
- Thread starter urbottawa
- Start date
In 2017, my wife and I went to La Machine in front of the Supreme Court. Crowds was huge, so we couldn't see much, so we went up the Marriott to try and were able to enter one of the circular rooms on top (can't remember if it was the revolving space). Another dozen or so people were up there doing the same. I seem to remember security coming up, but they didn't bother us.
You can go up to the floor under the revolving space any time. You don't need a room key to access this level. I go regularly. Nobody will say a word.

Crane went up yesterday at the Panora site (in Gatineau - Plateau & Bruxelles)

Also, crane went up earlier this week at Capital Square (Plateau/Vanier). Same builders as the Latti building nearby.

That looks nice. Much better than most of the Plateau blandness. Decent height for the area as well.

Here's the Panora one from the link above:
That is very nice!

I know Panora is a Junic project, but I didn't see any info about it on their website.
That makes sense, Junic that is. They built nearly everything around it and like half of Plateau. Weird they don't have a website for such a massive project.

The 25 story cap seems arbitrary and annoying to me. More variety would be nice

That is some bonkers density for an area with rapid transit (very infrequent, low capacity rapid transit) a kilometer away at the closest point. Baseline BRT will help, but still not the capacity needed for something of this magnitude.
I also wish they had more variety. A few 30 to 40 floor towers could make it possible to add a lower density townhouse corner for families.
Overall, they don't seem to have designated this as an urban island, but more of a towers in a park on steroids. Hopefully they'll have a good amount of retail in order to make it possible to get all essentials within the community.
