I didn't realize that most of the parking lot is excluded from this, and would stay. It's unfortunate, as drawn, these would be extremely slender towers, I wouldn't be surprised if they have the smallest footprint we've seen in Ottawa (or maybe on par with Claridge's Pinnacle?), but because they're hugging up against CP III and IV, they just have the visual effect of increasing the footprints of those two towers by 50%.

The phoenix wing mosaics on the east walls are a pretty neat effect... although I guess these wouldn't be retained if, indeed this becomes a Claridge product. Ditto the deco-ish triplet details on the tower's front shown in the sun-shadow study.
