That Ottawa proposal looks really good- I can’t think of a city that would love to have that. Of course it may not turn out as promising as the rendering or as lively at street level. Just once in my life I’d like to see a Vancouver or Victoria rendering with snow in it, even just for comedic effect. Or moody rain. It’s always sunny (not in Philadelphia).
I find it more interesting than the Vancouver hotel proposal, but that looks good as well. Assuming the Air BnB regulations are effective there will be a hotel building boom in BC. In the meantime there will be a lot of grumpy non-hotel tourism folks complaining about the lack of places for visitors to stay.
Yah, that Queen St. W looks cool and iconic as long as the quality is impeccable, otherwise it’ll look like a tin can. It has a speaker vibe - must be a catchy nickname somewhere in there.
