We will come to admire your big paintings, and you can come and admire our big red clock

I had a better look at the lobby in HP Phase II last night.

There is the big Red Clock on one wall, a large rectangular mirror on the other, and a Roman chariot picture over the elevators.

Is there any furniture in the lobby? I wish you had the camera with you

No furniture. They are still cleaning up.

Can't get in the building yet. I can only peer through the windows. Pics will have to wait.

I wouldn't mind if it was different. I think it would be too boring having 2 identical lobbies. When I go to see my friends in HP1, I don't want to feel like I am still in HP2

More importantly, when you're hammered and you accidentally wanter into HP1, you need something to remind you that you're in the wrong building.

Exactly

Wait a minute, are we talking about hammered by the falling objects from Mondrian or in the bar

Park is pretty much done. Just some final finishing sidewalk work left for the exterior I think.

Nice, thanks for the pic. Love the lamp posts and globes.

I thought there's supposed to be some iron fencing around the park? And I guess we're not allowed to step on the park.

I want the fence around it. That way no strange visitors sleeping there. Or no dogs crapping in it, although it is a couple of feet off the ground.

New sidewalk has been poured, I think this is the last major bit of outside work except for a decorative semi-circle at the tip of the park.

Went to the 12th floor Chrysler show suite today to look at phase II PA progress. They have all the Hardwood installed up to the 5th floor. It looks like up to the 5th floor is complete. The sales rep said that a unit on the 5th floor of phase II will be a show suite. Don't know which unit.

Hardwood is installed in the second bedrooms up to the 12-14 floors.
Kitchen cupboards are installed up to 14 floor. They have appliances stored in the living room of the 9th floor.

It was a sunny day and there was lots of reflections off the windows so it was hard to see.

The lobby of phase II is almost complete. The plastic is off the light fixtures and the painting is complete. I can also see exercise equipment in the gym.

The plastic protective covering is off the front doors and the side lighting fixtures are installed and working on either side of the main doors.

Does anyone know if the south/west side of the phase I building of Hudson Park might have its view partially/mostly blocked in the future by some 10 + story building development?

With google maps, and walking around in that area I saw
Across Hudson Park on the South/West corner, there are 3 story homes for the most part, but, then further down Kent St to the south, there are 10+ story apartments/condos. Also there is some small 1 story Greek bar/cuisine place to the south with some fair amount of parking around it.
What's the chance of those places being turned into a skyscraper development?

If I wanted to find out more about this would I have to check the zoning south/west of Hudson park?

Ask the people living in the Everett how they feel about the Hudson going up

I think it would be ridiculous for anyone buying in the Hudson now to oppose any tall buildings to be built near it in the future.

I don't think they're so much being opposed to it as just doing their homework before considering a purchase. Before I bought my unit at Mondrian I looked at the zoning for all surrounding lots as well as Ottawa's official plan to see if there would be any possibility of losing my view in the near future. As it turns out, being 16 storeys high facing South is more than enough and will likely never be obstructed. If more people would do some research before buying a property and consider what may or may not happen to the surrounding lots and facilities then we wouldn't see what we're seeing in the Glebe (regarding Lansdowne), frequently in Westboro, as well as in many parts of Centretown. It turns out that people who have no business opposing projects in the city's core can do very well in appeals if they make sure they're yelling louder than the rest.

As for those people living in the Everett, I do feel bad for them, but the potential for development at the HP site has always been there so they should have seen it coming.

Thanks Johnny, you said that a unit on the 5th floor of phase II will be a show suite. Everything is sold on the 5th floor and usually the show suite is in the unit that is not sold yet. Well, we will wait and see. Looks like they are working really fast on HP2.
I hope that everyone in HP1 is enjoying the garden, less noise and less dust

That's what the sales Rep said to me. 5th floor will have a show suite. No more deatils than that...

My wife talked to someone who came walking out of Phase II front entrance, yesterday afternoon. He said they moved into a 3rd floor unit on Friday Oct 16! He said they were the first to move in.

He told my wife that Oct 16th was the date given to him by Charlesfort.
So they must be on schedule.
