I did notice earlier on in the project when I was walking by some of the fitment of the white panels were a little bit suspect.

I know the reflection from the Claridge building across the road makes it less noticeable but if you look at the center of the image there is a square silver panel not in line with the rest of the vertical column. That's not a fitment issue, it's an "I missed the right location" issue. Wish I could get a better quality image on a cloudy day to make it more noticeable. Perhaps someone with a drone worth more that 19.95 can get a better shot. Albert side about 10 floors up on the east end. It just really made me think of Tetris and how bad I was at it.

Those are turning out to be a very distinctive cluster of towers...really breaks up the 60's and 70's boxes, and the recent Charcwhites...

There was far more positive energy than negative energy though!

Love that pic from the link. Very un-Ottawa.

Not seeing the negative comments for some reason. Is it just about height?

Not about the height of these specifically, mostly about tall buildings or highrises in general. Suburban folks who really love their unsustainable tract housing.

My OCD is still bothered that the white square panel hasn't been fixed yet. I also spotted what seems like a missing spandrel glass panel in one location, based on the floors above and below it.

The vision glass where the spandrel was supposed to go, I don't think it's a big deal, but that white square, that's annoying to see.

This looks a lot more like what we've seen so far. Disappointed we're losing the angled roof on the south tower, at least it's not a box with grey siding. Overall, still a fantastic project.

Favorite project in Ottawa for me. The design, the materials, the landscaping (fingers crossed is done as presented), amenities beautiful project and amazing addition for Ottawa.

Will be great for public servants across the street to see their colleagues "working from home" while sipping a cocktail by the pool! Where are they getting the cocktails BTW?

It may not be the hanging gardens of Babylon, but those extensively used scuppers are sure to make really fun waterfalls during heavy rains!

I wonder if they've considered that in Ottawa every year, scuppers get COMPLETELY iced over, with giant wall-height icicles?

Here's hoping the scuppers are for emergency use only and that there are regular, insulated, heat-traced, through-slab drains on each of the terraces.
