Rare case when it looks better than on the renderings, but I wish they left some grass patches here and there. Seems like they are overreacting after that flood a few years ago.

The grass field in Britannia is flooded every year for several weeks, and it's perfectly fine the rest of the year.

What's the little building behind O2?

I think eventually grass and shrubs will start growing in the cracks of those rocks, which could look kind of neat.

Sorry, I meant riverside, the shorter block where the crane sticks out from.

Garage extension.

Progress on Block 206 & 207, taken today

J.OT13 · #**1428** Posted **Dec 5, 2022, 3:18 PM**

Looks good. These will be unique in Ottawa, at least in this area (similar towers have been proposed near Bell Street and Lincoln Fields).

Wonder why Zibi is not lobbying to fix and open up that space with picnic tables that's been abandoned since forever. Seems like an easy win.

zzptichka · #**1430** Posted **Dec 8, 2022, 4:27 PM**

The place was built between 2002 and 2005 with nice street lights, pavers and tables. And in 2005 it was already fenced off for good.
Did they just forget to open it? This is bonkers.

Best view of DT Ottawa right now is from Eddy/Taché... and it is only going to get better.

If I am wrong, Fight me.

Try the corner of Montreal rd. and Carson rd. looking west bound.
You'll be impressed

Digging a hole for a new building or just soil decontamination?
Do we have plans for what could be going in there?

zzptichka · #**1434** Posted **Dec 14, 2022, 8:23 PM**

Looks like the 11-floor building on the Quebec side has topped out.

So strange to see buildings with varying heights. Such a shock.

Interesting!!!! I don't think I've seen any plan for this block yet! most likely soil remediation or something to do with Zibi heating and cooling system potentially

They are digging out the new subterranean base for Alpha Flight after they got evicted from under the Centre Block during the renovations. You weren't supposed to take pictures of this, I'd delete them.

Nice to see two downtowns slowly being connected. Didn't think I'd see it in my lifetime. Add the Sens to LeBreton in the next 5 years and we've got a whole new feel to this area.

If this image from their site is anything to go by - it looks like it's part of a park. There's not much detail - but maybe there will be steps down to a platform of some kind?

The best bet is probably soil remediation by NCC
