Eric Darwin on a proposed plan for the site developed by some McGill MA students:

Some ideas are really good, others are questionable, and I'm sure some forumers here will decry the lack of height, and others will weep over the greenspace, but I think it's a positive proposal overall. Doubt we'll see anything like this, slightly tinkered it could be a plan for one of Ottawa's best neighbourhoods.
That said, the area clearly could benefit from a better name than "Oak Street PWGSC Warehouse Complex." I don't think the McGoogle students have a hit winner with "Marco Polo." The site as a triangle below Somerset, lending itself to some fun NYCesque abbreviations, as suggested in the comments below the blog post.
What do y'all think?
