Nope, they haven't updated it yet, but soon there will be a website: www.199slater.com

I took a cell phone shot of the new rendering for those of you who don't want to wait for the website to be up and running.

I like to call it Telus Part Deux

It sucks. The original design is better.

eemy · #23 Posted **Feb 23, 2009, 11:08 PM**

I dunno, the original design was a little bit too glass wall for me. This one is a bit too close to a homage to Tunney's Pasture for my taste though.

waterloowarrior · #24 Posted **Feb 23, 2009, 11:17 PM**

the shape is quite similar to the old design

harls · #25 Posted **Feb 24, 2009, 2:43 PM**

The antennae have been done away with in this new version.

It's not too bad. Still kinda boxy. Guess we can forget about it being any taller.

Not terribly inspiring but not hideous either. Ultimately it will all come down to how much they want to spend on materials for external finishing...

Radster · #27 Posted **Feb 24, 2009, 4:18 PM**

I agree, the original design was way more innovative and attractive.

But I guess the new design will help the building blend in better with the bland surroundings, instead of standing out from the rest.

Jamaican-Phoenix · #28 Posted **Feb 24, 2009, 9:21 PM**

I like the original concept better...

p_xavier · #29 Posted **Feb 25, 2009, 1:05 AM**

Fuck, what was bad with the original design? Did originality scare the concillors? Or the bums signed a petition because it wasn't respectful of their neighborhood?

New rendering up on the Broccolini website:

I actually kind of like this project in a weird, 1990's way. It's unique, fills in a really ugly lot, and the first phase is high quality materials.

It's OK, but it just looks like a continuation of Telus now. The old renderings definitely tied the Telus building in, but added some differences.

It's better than the second rendering, but still not as good as the first. I kinda like how it blends with Telus, actually. At least they're copying a decent building.

harls · #33 Posted **Oct 22, 2009, 2:05 AM**

"Look way up".. good one.

rakerman · #34 Posted **Oct 24, 2009, 1:42 AM**

looks ok but what the heck is that roof design? it would be nice to see some green roof designs for buildings in Ottawa

It seems that this project has died quietly. The City sign that had announced plans to develop this location has been removed. The web site for this project is still online (http://www.199slater.com/), but I wouldn't hold my breath on this moving forward any time soon.

Maybe it's being replaced by a new application.

Can't say I'm sad to see the old proposal go; it was a waste of a good lot -- underwhelming and underdeveloped.

J.OT13 · #38 Posted **Jun 3, 2012, 2:09 AM**

Sign advertising the project is still on the lot...

That's great news! I am glad that I was wrong about this project. When I noticed that the City sign for this site had been removed in May I thought this proposal had died.
