The view from Commissioner St is great.

Yes. Catching both those roof angles in parallel to each other from this general area is cool to see. Once again. Very happy to see the same window glass being used around the blue on the roof portion. Very eager to see the next course and how they reconcile the roofline.

Frist time it doesn't match the renderings or an improvement on the renderings.

[J.OT13]

The way they built the top doesn't match the latest renderings. The panels were to form a "cage" around a stepped structure. Instead they built the superstructure to the top with the angle.

I didn't grab a picture, but I was surprised how visible this was when driving up Fisher past the experimental farm. It really stands out on its own, while from that vantage point the cluster at Preston/Carling blends into downtown a bit.

From Monday.

From LaurierWest on Skyrise. Cool to see these buildings loom over Bluesfest. Gives the Ottawa a big city with unique architecture feel.

Had friends up from the US this past week to see some shows at Bluesfest. The wife hadn't been here since 2019 and her first comment was "I don't remember Ottawa being this big". These towers plus the Claridge buildings on Lebreton definitely give Bluesfest a cool urban backdrop.

That transition from light red to light blue is jarring

The band of flesh-coloured cladding around the top of the ground floor is an odd colour choice. I'm hoping that it will be painted.

I think that's just cement board because of the size of the 'banding'. At the corners, its fully covered by the perforated sheet metal, to fully cover the cement board.

Yes, I looked more closely today and I think you are right. Thank goodness!

Yes not anything like the renders. Not a fan.

Awesome to hear. Happy to see people from outside the region seeing the progress we've made.

Yeah, I can see how the design, especially the red to blue transition, can be polarizing. I personally like it, and I hope more people will be sold once the cladding is complete.

They should have eliminated the middle shade and insert another transition shade before the light blue

It looks like dripping paint.
