Refreshing to see "upscale" as opposed to "luxury".

I wonder what will go in the retail unit(s). Years ago, they spoke of a grocery store, though I doubt that is still in the cards.

The construction elevator has been removed. Starting to get come together.

Podium gives me a Carleton University vibe.

I kinda wish they would've continued the glass to the podium and ground floor.. At least for this development seeing as Bronson could use some modern additions at street-level, but oh well.

The design certainly was dumbed down over time. At least it has an impact on the skyline.

Anyone hear if they found a tenant for the retail space? They we're looking at a grocery tenant a few years back, but haven't heard anything since.

I don't think I had seen this thread or project before so went back and looked at the first page. Wow dumbed down is right!

Looks just like the Mondrian building, but stubbier and cheap.

The Mondrian looks cheaper to me. This one has a brick podium that meshes seamlessly with the surrounding buildings with the tower floating lightly on top. I wouldn't nominate it for any awards but it's just perfectly fine for a medium sized tower on Bronson IMHO.

Honestly i'm fine with this build but the Ottawa tabletop is incredibly infuriating.

I know Main + Main is only slightly taller than Place de Ville but I'm hopeful it will do SOMETHING for the tabletop. I am so sad they dropped it from 38 to 35 stories and I'm still worried they will drop it again to 33 or less.

With the drop in elevation between PdV and the M+M site, I imagine the towers will look as if they are all the same height.

I too wish they would have stuck with the 38 floor proposal, just so that the tallest appears ever so slightly taller than PdV C.

As for The Beckett, it looks fine. As I've said before, it's too bad the design was value engineered from the original proposal however, it's still a good filler.

The building is nearly complete, minus a few flourishes here and there. No indication of any ground floor commercial tenants as of yet. I also took some photos of the recently opened parkette/alleyway as well.

I really dislike the side wall in the back. Is this what inspired Bronson Place's reclad?

Almost looks that way. Maybe a deal on material and labour for the hood'.

walk by today for the first time. Though the tower was a bit of a let down, I like what they did at ground level. The street facing units on Cambridge, the mid-block pedestrian walkway and plaza, tower stepped-back towards Bronson, the retail on the corner (not yet leased).
