In 2021, Desjardins said Brigil asked half a dozen architectural firms from Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal – including high-profile organizations such as NEUF, Diamond Schmitt and Perkins&Will – to take part in a design competition. Toronto-based Quadrangle Architects ultimately won the contract to design the project."
Great move by Brigil, they've sold me. Now if they can get approval, I hope they don't let us down. They wanted their shot at a "landmark development", city needs to give them a shot. And they're not going for any BS claims of being a landmark, but I think this one is more of a landmark compared to that other one proposed in centretown by Taggart. Although this and that development will add a lot of height and life into Centretown, so it will be nice to see everything go up.

This is definitely a fresh take on a podium design for us. Looking forward to it.
No more silver and teal spandrels please... my poor soul cant take it.
