Maybe. Not sure why a crane would be needed though.

Crane is needed to handle the materials to hoist over to the pile rig.

Wonder which building they will start next.

SL123 · #**1806** Posted **Apr 17, 2024, 2:10 AM**

the red metal cladding on the office building is taking forever to complete. They must've ran out or something!

Maybe the same supplier as 412 Sparks and The Clemow

Those are both having incredible delays in cladding.

J.OT13 · #**1808** Posted **Apr 17, 2024, 2:29 AM**

Heck, even East Flats and Adisoke have been painfully slow. Feels like Parkdale Collective and Releve are the only projects that haven't had any issues with cladding.

Harley613 · #**1809** Posted **Apr 17, 2024, 3:27 AM**

Zibi is slow, but I can see the vision coming together.

I can see a vision on the Ontario side not so much on the Quebec side.

When does the next Ontario tower start? One would think excavation would be well underway by now.

Went by the Zibi house a week or so ago and the woman working there told me they'll be breaking ground on block 204 this spring. So maybe May?

skisail_ott · #**1813** Posted **Apr 19, 2024, 11:09 AM**

Block 204 is next, but I don’t think it can start until 207 and 206 are finished and Ledcor clears out. Remember that Zibi announced a new contractor for 204 - Westview Projects.

Newly opened North Shore Park

DTcrawler · #**1815** Posted **May 6, 2024, 10:35 PM**

Thanks for the pics. Finished product looks very good honestly. Can't wait to head over there.

AuxTown · #**1816** Posted **May 7, 2024, 1:23 AM**

Park looks awesome. We don't have enough interaction with developments and the waterfront in Ottawa. Reminds me of some of the waterfront parks in Toronto like Sugar Wharf and Humber Shores. Or my oft-mentioned favourite hood in Canada, Griffintown in MTL.

I think part of the reason is the NCC's very rigid views on leaving shorelines naturalized and even re-naturalizing land on many of their projects. I understand there needs to be a balance between public enjoyment and environmental stewardship, but we could easily have hundreds of metres of riverfront park-space just like this if we'd just manicure more of the land between the water and NCC MUPs. However, the NCC only seems keen on doing that in a select number of places where they can also build a parking lot adjacent to it. Doesn't have to be much, even a little brush clearing would go a long way, it's crazy how much the view of the Ottawa River is obscured when you're only mere metres away from it on the MUP.

Looks like somebody screwed up. They are stripping it down.

That side was not previously clad, afaik. They are still insulating.

It was fully clad. They are stripping it right down to the Densglass.

Must be something wrong with the rockwool or the windows, probably a failed inspection because something is not to code.
