Heritage did in fact object to the building detailing

'The detailing needs to be brought back a little bit' in order to fit in better w/ neighbouring buildings, staff say. https://twitter.com/mpearson78/status/581084335727603713

but their objections were over-ridden

. @cmckenney moves to removing staff conditions, so proponent can build Bank/Lisgar building as it has proposed. #ottnews https://twitter.com/mpearson78/status/581093713482514434

'My community likes this building, I like this building,' @cmckenney says. 'It's a good-looking building,' @marianne4kanata says. #ottnews https://twitter.com/mpearson78/status/581095309562011649

#Heritage cmte vice-chair, and expert, Barry Padolsky gives a plug for approving the building as is. #ottnews https://twitter.com/mpearson78/status/581096196447559682

7 Clarence among three heritage projects to get OK from committee

Matthew Pearson, Ottawa Citizen
Published on: April 14, 2015, Last Updated: April 14, 2015 10:08 AM EDT

The city’s planning committee quickly endorsed three heritage-related items Tuesday.

The committee approved the National Capital Commission’s latest plan to replace a ByWard Market heritage building, which was torn down last year after engineers ruled the 135-year-old structure was “clearly beyond the point of reconstruction.”

There was huge neighbourhood outcry in 2014, both at the news that 7 Clarence had to be demolished, and at the initial “glass box” design for a replacement building. But after extensive consultation with neighbours and heritage advocates, the NCC and its architect — CSV Architects of Ottawa — came up with a design that was generally well-received.

The building is scheduled for completion by the fall of 2016 and is slated for use as a temporary exhibition space for the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation in 2017.

The committee approved a heritage designation for a 70-year-old industrial building in Mechanicsville.

The property at 7 Bayview Rd. — also known as Municipal Works Building No. 4 — is an early 1940s example of an industrial building influenced by the “modern style,” according to a city staff report that recommended designating the structure as heritage.

The Bayview building is included in the first phase of a planned Innovation Centre that was approved by the last term of council with the expectation that the building would be protected as a heritage site.

The first phase of the plan is scheduled to cost $30 million. The province committed half the money last year; the city will provide the remainder, including the property, which is assessed at $8 million.

The committee also approved construction of a new, six-storey building at the southeast corner of Bank and Lisgar streets, which is within the Centretown heritage conservation district.

Designed by Farrow Dreessen Architects, the mixed-use building would have retail on the ground floor and 22 condominiums above.

If you like to do your own per-sq-ft math:
Units starting at $493,000.00.
Smallest unit is 778sqft

"Bridgehead will be an attractive street-level feature of Joyce House. Their well-crafted organic Fair Trade coffee, fresh-baked goods, and warm small plate options are a draw for residents and locals alike. Recently licensed, the location will be serving local beer and wine after 4 p.m."

1. I guess this means Bridgehead at Bank & Gilmour will close?
2. Doesn't this announcement seem a bit premature given that the building doesn't even exist yet? Won't the location need a store permit and a liquour license?

Came across this 3-D fly-through video today on the Joyce House website (Is it new?):

Nice video. Should be a nice addition to the corner. Compliments the area. Quality, high class building that stands out without being too flashy.

Fireflies were a bit over the top, but I don't see this as a Centrolpolis. Base prices are about half a million so this should be pretty good (theoretically).

I am confused - where's the Shopper's Drug Mart?

Way too expensive! plus parking $40k incl. HST $46K....without options

At the end of the day, makes it closer to $700/sqft.....WOW
