This whole thing is going to be balcony railings so they better be nice!! Is there anything on the permits/applications that suggests the balcony material?

Still no balcony glass...

Looks absolutely massive when viewed from the crest of the hill at Booth and Somerset.

Looks to be topping out. Didn't really show it in the renderings but there is def something going on with the roofline in that last shot of formwork.

And yes this building is crazy prominent from several angles.

The zig-zag teeth? We could see that with each floor. Won't pretend I know how that works.

Based on its location, this one makes an absolutely massive impact on the skyline.

I love the "flatiron" appearance from the 417 westbound

That first one is an awesome shot! Really highlights the flatiron-ess of the tower. For the Love of God Claridge, don't screw up the balconies.

Agreed. That first shot is stellar. Great angle and the lighting is perfect.

My favorite look at this building so far.

Oh yeah, that one is looking quite fine from the train path.

SL123 · #14 Posted **Jun 2, 2025, 1:01 AM**

from the river path near Parkdale this tower looks really tall. For some reason this tower feels taller than 30 stories

FROSTED GLASS!!!!!!!! From Pat on Rail Fans Canada Discord.

SL123 · #16 Posted **Jun 17, 2025, 9:01 PM**

^ ABSOLUTELY Love this!! Its turning out to be one of the best building in recent years IMO

J.OT13 · #17 Posted **Jun 17, 2025, 9:36 PM**

Claridge, you did it!!! After all these years, you figured out how to build a quality building that could truly be an icon!! Huzzah!!

ponyboycurtis · #18 Posted **Jun 19, 2025, 1:58 PM**

Walked by this for the first time in a while. Nice of them to balcony glass an entire floor all the way around. Almost strikes me as a proof of concept installation the way they went around it.

Color pallet wise the balcony glass looks like that new building on Parkdale from a distance. This thing is really nice. I made a point to walk up the MUP from Carling.

Really exciting area.

June 20th, Balcony railing is progressing nicely.

AuxTown · #20 Posted **Jun 22, 2025, 1:51 PM**

So good! We are definitely starved for quality in Ottawa but excited for this, Dream and our CBD clump buster
