And yes this building is crazy prominent from several angles.

The zig-zag teeth? We could see that with each floor. Won't pretend I know how that works.

From hoggytime, aka Harley613, on Skyrise. Only the roof of the meachanical penthouse left.

Based on its location, this one makes an absolutely massive impact on the skyline.

I love the "flatiron" appearance from the 417 westbound

That first one is an awesome shot! Really highlights the flatiron-ess of the tower. For the Love of God Claridge, don't screw up the balconies.

Oh yeah, that one is looking quite fine from the train path.

Agreed. That first shot is stellar. Great angle and the lighting is perfect.

My favorite look at this building so far.

from the river path near Parkdale this tower looks really tall. For some reason this tower feels taller than 30 stories

FROSTED GLASS!!!!!!!! From Pat on Rail Fans Canada Discord.

SL123 · #**411** Posted **Jun 17, 2025, 9:01 PM**

^ ABSOLUTELY Love this!! Its turning out to be one of the best building in recent years IMO

J.OT13 · #**412** Posted **Jun 17, 2025, 9:36 PM**

Claridge, you did it!!! After all these years, you figured out how to build a quality building that could truly be an icon!! Huzzah!!

ponyboycurtis · #**413** Posted **Jun 19, 2025, 1:58 PM**

Walked by this for the first time in a while. Nice of them to balcony glass an entire floor all the way around. Almost strikes me as a proof of concept installation the way they went around it.

Color pallet wise the balcony glass looks like that new building on Parkdale from a distance. This thing is really nice. I made a point to walk up the MUP from Carling.

Really exciting area.

SL123 · #**414** Posted **Jun 21, 2025, 3:05 PM**

June 20th, Balcony railing is progressing nicely.

AuxTown · #**415** Posted **Jun 22, 2025, 1:51 PM**

So good! We are definitely starved for quality in Ottawa but excited for this, Dream and our CBD clump buster

Paint? Shirley you gotta be kidding me. Painting masonry/concrete is generally a terrible idea. Dumbdumbs down the street from me painted the entire 12 story brick building WHITE AND BLACK... and its been 2 or 3 years and its spalling off all over the place.

Just don't do it. Say no to painting brick kids.

No. It’s long lasting. Literally everyone does it outside ottawa

SL123 · #**419** Posted **Jul 6, 2025, 5:56 PM**

This is gonna look so good once all the balconies are completed

If you're gonna paint the underside, you've got to coat the top surface, something that ALL these condos do after 25 years and a major round of concrete repair that drives everyone crazy. But do you think Claridge wants to volunteer to spend another $3000 per unit for some coatings? lol
