Amazing pic! I don't think I've ever seen Lebreton from that angle but it would make a great starting point to overlay some of the planned towers/projects for a "future skyline".

Nice shots! The second photo really highlights the contrast in design quality between the Ottawa and Gatineau sides. Almost looks like two different projects.

The Gatineau side is really a dog's breakfast. I really hope some good things go up in the next row and draw the eye away from all that gross precast brick panelling and weird janky forms.

When I look at the highrise, the white panelling is forming letters and numbers. I see the word "DIED" and I also see "255P"

I see 'DIED' but not 255P.

'DIED' is two stories of panels (although it's more like 'DOED'), '255P' can be seen in four stories of panels.

Yeah, I see DOED more than DIED.

From the UDRP final review: “The tower is clad
in a combination of solid metal panels and glazing within a proprietary window wall system, designed in two storey “lifts” to visually reduce the apparent height of the tower.”

The problem is the crossbars you’re seeing in the letter E. They aren’t supposed to be there.

Never noticed that Kanaal had a similar while panel pattern as the new coop tower. Eights, sevens, zeros and mirrored nines.

Gorgeous shot. I hope you don't mind, I took some creative liberties with your work

Consider the time of day, consider Union Bridge is closed, and consider only one residential building is occupied.
