I like how Solar Uniquartier appears between CIBC and Le 1250, nice shots!

I did’nt notice until I read your post. A distant secondary skyline in the making. Will probably get much bigger too.

I didn't think so, that's why I wanted to mention it.

I'm sure you've been there recently, but the whole area (along with the new Boulevard du Quartier overpass and the REM station and overpass) is quite something to witness!

I know! I don't go to the south shore very often these days, but I did recently on my way to the Eastern Townships and I must say the boom around the future REM station is impressive.

Where's that cluster of glass towers in the background? Laval?

Wrong direction for Laval. That is the south shore.

Vanier is the only part of Ottawa I could mistake for Gatineau (not necessarily the dumpy parts you are referring to, but the “average” Vanier”). I just did a quick virtual tour on Google Maps to refresh my memory, and I still think it could pass for Wrightville. I also find that Mechanicsville shares similarities with the Vieux-Hull although that area is changing. The architecture is not necessarily the same, but I am talking about the feel in general.

That’s a new TOD around a future REM station in Brossard in the South Shore.

I would agree. All three have an abundance of small, early 20th century working class wooden houses. Montréal Road in Vanier has some similarities with St-Joseph in Hull, Maloney or Gréber in Gatineau.
