That K-W skyline angle actually looks pretty nice!

Chemin des terres! You can actually safely park and enjoy the view.

I stand by my comments with respects to this, "There are 47 towers under construction/approved/proposed that would make it in the current top 10 in height, and most of them would be in the top 5." and the accompanying renderings. There's 6 under construction give or take that would crack the top 10. That makes 41 proposed. Or, Perhaps I'm just reading that wrong.
The near continuous skyline was quirky for even a fanboy to say. That's Caltrane or Chadillac level fanaticism

I'll admit that the first shot Harley posted a few days ago doesn't seem that impressive. A bunch of small tower clusters that honestly pale in comparison to similar transit node clusters in Vancouver, for example, doesn't make for a super impressive, continuous skyline.
The urban parts Harley posted yesterday though does show a significance shift in Ottawa's urban fabric. Other than the few tallest towers along Line 2 (900 Albert and The Sky near Dow's Lake) may never happen, but the rest of it will very likely become reality. They are championed by developers with a proven track record like Claridge (for better or worse design wise), Ottawa Community Housing, Brigil. A few significant project not currently u/c are expected to start this year.
