The way they worded that release certainly makes it sound like the 25 and 27 story towers will rise together. That would be epic, especially if the 24 story tower across the street and the 22 story tower next door rise at the same time. Insta-skyline.

Is the copper wall feature still being installed, or is this all we're getting?

^are those LEDs Strips behind the cooper? would be a nice light feature if it would light up from behind

[J.OT13]

I've seen no progress in months. Looks pretty bad atm. Honestly, even the completed version wouldn't compare to the rendering, which looked more like tiles instead of an orange circuit board.

That really looks like a finished product from the photo. Why would they install some type of siding to have it covered by another product? Looks like a Seacan got repurposed.

You can always count on Ottawa loafing the bed when it comes to details. Reminds me of whatever random garbage they installed on the lower outside corners of the Travelodge on Carling.

Harley posted a closeup on Skyrise. Does seem like the orange panels go over the medal siding, with maybe an LED strip between each metal panels.

Interesting. I stand corrected then? Hopefully.

Certainly an interesting approach to installation.

I stand by my loafing the bed comment though!

[rocketphish]

I had to go back and check it out. Hurray! they just weren't finished yet. Does it light up? Time will tell.

It's about time. It was half finished for months. It's a nice addition to the building. Makes it that much more interesting. Overall, good project. Just so happy to see a little colour for once.

Can confirm it was lit up last night.

lol this is the kind of comments I come here for!

Must look pretty slick when lit up

[Ottawacurious]

Bad photo coming up on skyrise. But the building has a big white vertical light viewable from a long distance. It's easy to pick out!

Honestly, not a fan of the lighting. More obvious stark white LED strips than a nice backlit art piece. Not very well done IMO.

LUXO signs and vertical elements are all lit-up this evening:

I know we all loved how tall and prominent this tower looked when it was getting built (me included) but personally I think it ended up looking atrocious. I hate the material they ended up using, looks like cheap barn aluminum. The white bars and the fact they lit up are starting to help but honestly from up close I think its looks real cheap. I'll give them their flower for the midrise but the tower is a no for me on aesthetic ground. I much prefer Maison Riverain on mtl rd or the Icon who have received a lot more hate on this forum over this.

[Ottawacurious]

I like they did something different.

[J.OT13]

Signs installed with a helicopter over the weekend! Didn't see it, but could hear it.

I agree it's not as nice as I'd hoped (the overall building). Nicer materials, more orange accents, kind of like the hotel, would have been great. Overall though, it's not bad. Certainly unique for Ottawa.

[ponyboycurtis]

I gotta say... from the distance I wasn't really pumped on this building other than its height. Coming in from 417 east approaching Innes it really shows itself but its so grey against the sky/horizon.

Seeing it up close I have a bit better appreciation for it. I don't think its anything grand on the tower potion but everything else is quite nice. I think this building will improve quite a bit on its own when the other 2 towers go up.







Some of you astute viewers out there might notice where my car is parked in the second photo because I went on a hunt for information. Check the thread for neighboring development on Cyrville. https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207436

edit* I came into the parking lot and drove right up to the fence to start a chat before even looking at Luxo. I see vest, I talk to vest.

I will never forgive them for that font; I hate it so much!

It's not bad in small form on the internet but really looks bad on the side of the building IMO.
