I know we live in a world of "buyer beware".... I only hope that people who bought on the North Side of the building had full disclosure on what they were in for...

I saw this from the highway. I never realised it looked so bad. Bricks look good, when you can see they are bricks; this just looks like stucco. Maybe they can use those empty sides for some kind of art?

This building looks crazy tall when being observed from the north...towards Somerset...

This is by far my least favourite building in Ottawa. Absolutely hideous design.

And soon there will be two of them, within metres of each other no less. (Grrr)

I still don't hate this building, it's ugly on it's own but to me it's a welcome variation on the standard glass box design that is so in vogue. I feel it will add texture to the future sea of glass boxes in the neighbourhood. I only hate that it (and it's future partner) are so close to SOHO Champagne.

YOWflier · #**230** Posted **Jul 14, 2017, 11:05 PM**

I agree. The only thing I really hate about this building is that it hides the soho.

I took this just a little while ago.

Hang on, are they already at the ground level with phase 2 ? How come the Icon could take so much time ?

So is building 1 occupied then?

rocketphish inspired me to find this thread all by myself. Excellent views of the swimming pool.

Soho Champagne tower 1 is cursed. If you bought on the North side you have urban hell going up in front of your window, if you bought on the South side you have (maybe) tower 2 going up (some day).
