The Future of Ottawa in 3D

Alright folks, here is a sneak peak of what I have been working on.

All buildings heights exact when data available. When data is not available, I have interpolated as closely as possible. Let's just say these maps will be 95% accurate. I have a tonne of work left to do, so you will notice missing buildings in many shots until I finish.

Angle requests will be uploaded as soon as I have time!

Legend:
Red - Proposed/Planned
Yellow - Approved
Green - Under Construction
Dark Green - Topped Out/Complete
Let's start with 'Downtown Vanier'!

You have begun a very ambitious project. Kudos.

I am looking forward to seeing more of the 'buildings' turning green.

This is excellent Harley, kudos for all the work you’re putting into it. Just one thing, can we set the legend straight? I see green, yellow, red, and orange in the first two photos, and it’s making me begin to doubt my eyesight

The first two were not set right, I will reup them now.

Edit: Revised images are up on first post. I will continue to update posts as I hone in the angles, models, and shapes.

The future Alexandra bridge views will be pretty incredible, probably right around the time they tear down the bridge.

It's like Christmas Day at the Harley household! Playing nonstop with the new toy

Nice work!

Ohhhh, you have no idea! I have been working all day on this and doing all kinds of angles and flyarounds. I will share the .kml files with everyone on here when I am finished so everyone can import them into Google Earth Pro and play around.

These are great. Much more "scientific" than the approximations you had posted about a year ago. The Escarpment District and LeBreton will be game changers to the traditional skyline.

That Trillium Line corridor is looking meaty in the future!!!

Man, Ottawa is going to finally leave the "Mom-'N-Pop" era behind, if half of those proposed projects get green lit...!

Ottawa. Just a few things that aren't quite updated, mostly on the Gatineau side, but mostly updated.

It's 2 years old, but it still holds up.
