We're starting to see the impact Zibi will have on the Ottawa-Gatineau skyline. New office building u/c on Chaudière Island on the Ottawa side and new rental tower u/c on the Gatineau side. Picture taken from the western edge of the Downtown escarpment.

The impact of these new buildings on the area is substantial. Caught me way off guard. Can't wait to see how this whole project turns out.

Wow, Calgary looks amazing in that shot Chadillaccc
The colours and massing is all pleasant to the eye, some of those new condominium structures look nice too.
Love that Gatineau-Ottawa image...neat to see that intensifiation change along standing view over the river
West Village Towers look pretty good....Glad they went with just the 2 towers instead of three! It appears that the second tower is a little taller than tower #1!
It really looks like somewhere out of Southern Australia / New Zealand.

Does anyone still think it makes sense for prominent buildings to be artificially bland? This approach doesn't accentuate the rest of the cityscape; it diminishes it.
