Construction Sites In your City II

[someone123]

I think that bridge terminal area in Dartmouth is going to be surprisingly architecturally interesting and vibrant in just a few years. It's a funny area that's convenient transportation-wise and has a lot of amenities but was an unappealing wasteland with a toll plaza for the bridge, a big unruly intersection related to that, and a bunch of strip malls catering to all the car traffic. There is also the old downtown Dartmouth and there are some nice older neighbourhoods nearby that can form a larger urban whole here.

The Angus looks good in a lot of photos of the bridge.

Description: The Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF), the National Government of the Red River Métis, is developing the Métis National Heritage Centre in the heart of the Red River Métis Homeland at Winnipeg's iconic Portage and Main intersection. This transformative project involves the adaptive reuse of the historic former Bank of Montreal building (constructed in 1913).Symbolically oriented toward the northwest—facing the traditional Métis Homeland—the centre occupies the southeast corner, a site of profound historical importance as the primary crossroads of the Red River Cart trails that connected Métis communities across the Prairies. This unique, one-of-a-kind facility will preserve and share Red River Métis narratives through immersive exhibits and programs that thoughtfully integrate historical artifacts—such as those from the recently acquired "Our Grandmothers" Collection, featuring beadwork, quillwork, textiles, and items dating to the 1830s—with contemporary art and interactive experiences. The centre will honor the Red River Métis' pivotal role in Canada's Confederation, the founding of Manitoba, and the nation's ongoing development, while serving as an accessible, inclusive gathering space to celebrate collective identity, culture, governance, and language revitalization efforts (including Michif). Supported by significant investments, including over $23 million from the Government of Canada and $10 million from the Province of Manitoba, construction and renovations are progressing, with the centre scheduled to open in early 2027.
Permits: #24-267281 OP-2025-01-24, Interior and Exterior Alterations. Landlord Work - Interior renovations to accommodate mechanical and electrical retrofit. Develop main floor and mezzanine levels into assembly space with offices with structural work including interior load bearing walls and ceiling structure. Second floor and third floor to be altered down to shell for future development. Exterior work to replace windows and doors with structural work for lintels over openings. New exterior facade to be constructed on the west side of the building and exterior preservation of existing with structural work to take place for both. Exterior ramp to main floor doors to be constructed for accessible entry.

Odenak is turning out excellent. Great addition to the city.

I feel like with the recent growth in Ottawa and the LRT opening, it's really leveled up as an urban place in the last decade. It's going to have a ~60km metro system, increasingly dense downtown, increasingly active outlying neighbourhoods.. all in a ~15 year period. Massive change.

Agreed, Odenak is a game changer for the skyline and LeBreton Flats. It's very exciting to see Downtown expand down the hill towards Pimisi Station with these two towers, the library and, at a lesser extent, the Claridge project.

If we can get that arena built within the next 5 to 10 years, along with the development that comes with it, we'll be a whole different city.

Here are some great shots from Harley613 (hoggytime on skyrise):

Hate that tower, but those photos show some nice density (in a relatively low-prestige part of Calgary's CBD).

A bit 80s PoMo. Great inflill though.

I like it. The cladding looks a lot like 11 YV in Toronto, which is also roundly hated.
