Thanks francely, the first pic is Claridge Plaza Phase II (there are supposed to be two more phases going up nearby). The construction near the War museum is the Lebreton Flats project, and the crane you see from the Alexandra bridge (next to the Weston hotel) is for the new Ottawa Convention Centre.
Parkhill is directly south of downtown on an escarpment above the Elbow River. The original modest working class homes have been largely replaced with modern infills, and many have great views of downtown or the Rockies.
