There's a new rendering on the billboard.. it looks a lot better than the original.

I'll have to drive by on my way home from the dep and take a look.

We're started to see the structure peek up from Boul La Carriere and I think also from the Hwy 5/50 interchange as well.

Looks to be probably two or three floors shy of being topped out

Here's a shot I took yesterday.

Looks like they are 3-4 floors away from topping out...I like how fast this one has gone up in the last month or so...I also like how large a footprint it actually has, and won't look like a stubby little building compared to the others when finished.

Turns out to be great!
I think it is Gatineau's best looking skyscraper.
It softess downtown's architecture with all those 70's brutalism skyscrapers.

I like it better than the 2 Brocolinni buildings U/C in Hull. And yes, it is a good contrast to the 70s concrete blocks.

Here's another angle of it. I like the glass, but not the beige element to be honest (like 22 Eddy and 455 de la Carriere)..

3 jan 2013, by me.

A little colour as opposed to the time honoured beige would have been nice.

I like that it adds some more density to the skyline as you move away from the river and Portage (even if it's only across the road in the next block).

Too bad we can't see it from OT.

I'm not too broken up about it. This building is about as exciting as an afternoon watching CPAC on tv.

Why would you say that? You can't expect a 100 floor tower as we are not in a major city but in Gatineau.

Given this, I think its very nicely done.

This certainly adds some density
