If the site is so small, then there's no reason parking should be included...

The pedestrian experience is lacking, though. Ironic considering Laney was interviewed in the fall where he claimed he was interested in urban planning, despite none of his projects being good urbanism.

There are another 9 parking spaces, and bicycle parking on the floor above the ground floor (which isn't the second floor, it's the mezzanine floor), accessible from an alley with access to Albert St.

Damn that's too bad. This is the second ugliest building going up in Ottawa after the one at King Edward/Besserer IMHO.

Ugly by Ottawa standards? That’s pretty strong language!

It's a race to the bottom between Claridge and Roderick Lahey

Hey at least Rod is stepping outside of his classic black and beige brick bubble and experimenting with "grass" windows!

I didn't even know that his architectural software (Minecraft) had grass windows as an option!!

Demolition of the parking garage will be starting in May

Certainly not an exciting project, but hey, more people downtown.

indeed any project that bring more people to live downtown is good to me. A G7 capital with a ghost downtown is just too embarassing.

The old buildings are gone, and they've started digging

Not the most glamourous shot but posted for posterity.

There are a LOT of holes in the ground these days. I remember growing up in the 90's and years would go by before seeing a construction crane.

Same in Toronto!. Just look at this graph!

[Flemay]

They're putting up the crane today

[yotajoe]

Any updates on this one?

[GeoNerd]

Almost at grade.

We are so so close to having a copy paste of 1960 Scott right here in the core of our city. So excited

This one is from last week but different angle than Harley. They should be at ground level soon.



Add this one to the crane index lol.

I would love to see similar for Ottawa, because the 90s were almost a total wash.

A nice decent filler for the CBD.
