Coming along nicely and starting to show some good height for the area.
This is topping out now. It seems like a really fast build. Can't wait to see the big towers go up!!!
I really like the built form here, the massing is very aesthetically pleasing. It will be awfully cool for first time visitors to Ottawa coming into the city on the O-train in a few years with all the development happening.
That notch at the top wasn't there in the renderings. Is that new, or they just haven't completed the structure?

Looks like they'll be moving right into Phase II, with Hobin as the architect this time. From Citynews:

Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) has taken the next step in an effort to provide 1,300 new residential homes to those living in the city.
Last week, OCH announced the contract for Phase 2 of the development of Gladstone Village was awarded to Hobin Architecture. This phase of the project will add 975 new affordable units across three buildings on a 2.41 acre portion of the site.
Gladstone Village is one of the city’s largest affordable housing projects.
The village spans an eight acre plot, adjacent to the renowned Little Italy neighbourhood. Bordered by Somerset Street to the north, the O-Train Trillium Line to the east, Preston Street to the west, and Oak Street to the south, the community provides ample access to goods and services.

OCH says the community is anchored by the Corso Italia LRT Station located on Line 2. It says this placement allows for connectivity and inclusivity, as well as provoding transit opportunities for the diversity of tenants expected to occupy the village.
“Designing Phase 2 of Gladstone Village is an extraordinary opportunity to shape one of Ottawa’s most impactful affordable housing developments,” Barry Hobin, Principal of Hobin Architecture, said in a press release. “We are excited to bring thoughtful, innovative design to a vibrant, inclusive community that will transform downtown living and create a lasting positive impact for residents and the city.”
Hobin Architecture is an award-winning firm that has received numerous accolades for sustainable, community-driven development. The firm was presented with the Award of Excellence at the 2023 City of Ottawa Urban Design awards for another project designed in collaboration with OCH: Mosaïq Ottawa.
“Hobin Architecture brings a combination of experience and creativity needed to deliver buildings that are functional, sustainable, and welcoming,” Cliff Youdale, Chief Development Officer at Ottawa Community Housing, said in a press release. “Their thoughtful design approach will help create homes and shared spaces that foster community connection and contribute to a vibrant, inclusive neighbourhood.”
The first phase of the project began in September 2024, designed by Diamond Schmitt and KWC Architects and built by Pomerleau Construction.
