After 45 years as the tallest building in Ottawa, Place de Ville C is about to be surpassed by a striking new condominium tower. Work on the 148-metre Claridge Icon has created a massive excavated pit that dips several storeys below the intersection of Carling and Preston.

Can we really count the mechanical bits in the height though?
I measured from the top of the stairwell, not the HVAC, I should have clarified.
Ah, that makes more sense.
