p.s.

LOL @

Limit buildings to a maximum of 4-6 storeys.
#2
This is a high-rise neighbourhood; much of the existing zoning allows 12 storey buildings.

It's pretty sweet. Although I assume the renderings are only preliminary? I hope architects will be given leeway to design a variety of individual structures. It looks like mini-Concord Pacific Place.

How come it does not show the LRT or the tunnel portal into the escarpment?

Because they know it won't exist by the time this project is complete.

Blah. 5-6 storey buildings in the most prime piece of real-estate remaining in the city? LOL is right.

Call me when building heights are 20 storeys (minimum) and higher.

This is probably the place with the most lax height restrictions in the city, because as far as I know there's no viewcone or viewplane or whatever shape it is to mess with the view of Parliament... plus there are plenty of existing tall buildings in the area. This isn't councillor Holmes' ward, is it?

Yep. I'm pretty sure it is...

Aw..

some of these height complaints are getting absurd. What next the Place De Ville C site at Queen and Kent?

rodionx · #13 Posted **Nov 19, 2008, 10:20 PM**

On Bay Street between Albert and Slater, the height limit is 72 metres. It's on page 99 of the plan.

I know you all like it, but I lose my view of the river when it gets built.

waterloowarrior · #15 Posted **Nov 19, 2008, 11:41 PM**

this whole area will be amazing if/when this plan, LeBreton Flats, and eventually Bayview (and maybe even City Centre) are built out

Someone needs to do one of those Calgary type renderings of Ottawa in 30 years or so with LRT and Lebreton Flats built out and this built out etc. It'd be interesting to see.

That would be awesome.

30 years... are you sure? maybe... 200?

200 years before they finish LeBreton phase 2 or till they decide to start it?

Not bad,but a little sterile.
