Very nice! Zibi has to be one - if not the best - development going on in Ottawa. Dense, Mixed-Use, Variety of architecture, modern, sustainable.. almost hard to believe it's going on in our city (sounds much more of something that would happen in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal).
Nothing earth shattering, but a nice, competent building. Certainly a few steps above standard Ottawa (with Gatineau generally above Ottawa design wise, when it comes to new builds).
I LOVE this design. It'll look great along the water. Can someone tell me, would this be considered international style architecture? Kind of reminds me of The Barclay in Westboro. Despite its age (and showing it), I have always thought it was a beautiful building. Certainly better than anything else the 1970's brought to Ottawa.
I'm a fan of those as well. The balconies contribute to the design, but also provide more outdoor space to tenants. Far better than the standard slab towers with smaller balconies that often look tacked-on.

Man, I'll be pretty bummed if that cheapo poured concrete blah-ness on the right is indicative of the public realm planned for the rest of Zibi. You'd think a development of this magnitude and prominence would at least command some standard interlocking pavers. Can't tell a whole lot from the renders unfortunately...
If they really want people to not just live there, but live their lives there, it is a must add.
The last major grocer on de l'Ile was the Loeb store at the corner of ALLUMETTIÈRES/CHAMPLAIN.
I believe the old Tigre Giant on Eddy is closed or is closing as well... so feels like its time.
Ya, unfortunately the Giant Tiger closed, before the pandemic I believe.
Very happy to see the Metro planned for W/E II and another grocery store proposed for this new office building at Zibi. Too bad they weren't able to get a grocery store tenant for the old Loeb/SAQ to better distribute services.
The design for the Tesasini Park (on the Gatineau side) should be revealed tomorrow at the NCC board meeting. it appears on the agenda. I'm intrigued to see the plan for an area that gets flooded almost every year
