The LeBreton tower is again plain, but high quality materials make it a pretty decent background tower (though it's at the foreground right now). It's even better from up close with some bronze accents: https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...226521&page=31

The one with the staggered balconies is a step up as well. It could be considered plain in Vancouver and Toronto, but certainly not K/W quality. We have other high quality recent builds like Zibi, Parkdale Collective and Rideau Registry. Relevé, the Renaissance Marriott, Odenak are all well above what Ottawa is used to.

I'd add the Azure tower on Scott St to that list.
