It'll fit right in with Trainyards, then.

I don't love it but its much better than the "towers in a park(ing lot)" developments that plague other parts of St Laurent. Theres surface parking yes, but at least its limited and tucked behind the buildings. And walk up commercial space on almost the entire St Laurent facing first floor is very nice. The green space right beside the parking lot and balconies staring at your neighbor's balcony leaves something to be desired but overall I think a development like this will be good for the area.

It is pushed up to the street, which is okay, but the whole thing looks like it was designed to facilitate car access to all of the buildings. There is not one area in the complex that looks like it would be remotely pleasant for pedestrians. If you told me that this was actually designed in 1968, I wouldn't doubt it for a second.

IN the complex I totally agree but I think the retail frontage improves the pedestrian experience of St Laurent overall. Its a drop in the bucket improvement and I still have 0 hope for St Laurent to ever be a place I would want to walk around but I think this is an improvement nonetheless.

For a 6 lane stroad surrounded by strip mall parking lots I think this type of development is the best we can hope for.

No doubt that the retail frontage is an improvement (although the current St. Hubert is essentially right on the street). I just think that with a development this big, it can have its own pedestrian environment. Sure people will use cars there for the foreseeable future, but why not have a single car entrance to underground parking which accesses all of the buildings? The whole ground level could be people-friendly inside the complex, and connect to the residential behind.

I think that we have to demand better, unless we want another 50 years of status quo on St. Laurent.

If I'm understanding the plan correctly, it is unaffected.

It looks like the St Hubert will move to a new tower where the Petro-Canada is currently, and there will be another tower built where St Hubert is currently.

The rendering on page 8 of the PDF linked above? (http://webcast.ottawa.ca/plan/All_Im...12-21-0177.PDF)

Actually- I realized I was wrong about the 168 Sushi; this property extends to that site as well, so those buildings will also be demolished for the same tower that will replace the existing St-Hubert. It has ground floor commercial, so something may come back eventually...

Here is the thread for the previously approved phase to the west: https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=240653 ("Everest Heights" as mentioned above).

Some parts of it look suburban, but other parts look urban. It has more of a town center look and feel than anything in Kanata or Orleans.

Is this currently under construction? I drove on St Laurent a couple of weeks ago and saw a building of several stories under construction around here in the back.

Looks like this project is by Groupe Heafey (same group that did VIU and WE in Gatineau) and they're calling it Everest Peaks

The tanks are being dug out of the old Petro Can this morning, and there are contractors walking on the roof of the St. Hubert.

With a name like Everest Peaks, I was expecting the tallest buildings in the city
