Me like.
Staying on the Hudson Park theme, which is sure to be a winner. |
I really like this art deco inspired look. Though I would prefer the garage access to be off of Cartier St to allow commercial on the corner of Lisgar and Cartier. But at least we have a small eatery in the proposal.
Cheers, Josh |

That building looks awesome, and like Harls indicated, it's got the HP thingy going on that differentiates it from other buildings of this height and size in the city very nicely!
|
At some point Centretown residents will have to realize that buildings will steadily become taller. From their own mock up you can see that while the building is taller, it is also pleasant and a welcome addition to the skyline and the streetscape.
Yes, the two storey house will be "dwarfed", but are we satsifed in a downtown core made of buildings in line with 2 storey redstone houses? I hope not. |
Looks nice. I hope they build it.
|
Sweet. Bring it on!
|
Looks great!
|
Because to the north we have City Hall (low lying) followed by Jean Pigot Place (that's the new name of Festival Plaza, right?), Confederation Park, and then the NAC, I think it's great that the site could showcase such a nice looking building, as it is likely to be highly visable from much of downtown, and remain that way. It should also have some very nice northfacing views.

Oh my...
Is that.....A building in Ottawa.......with a defined top?!?! :omg: |
Definitely a step up for Ottawa. Hope it goes forward. :tup:

My parents commented on the sheer volume of medium-high rise apartment buildings in Ottawa...they think there's actually quite a lot of them for the size of the city (and this is coming from people originally from the Hamilton/Dundas area).

Here's a shot from my balcony in the fall showing some of Centretown's midrise density:

I'm really impressed with this project.
