7 Floors each... not bad.
Here are the parcels involved: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7191/6...251313_b_d.jpg |

Also, I hope they find some way of not building the pedestrian bridge.
Like, by not building a pedestrian bridge. |

Just a guess. But look at the pedestrian cross at Rideau St., it simply is out of context, ruins the streetscape, and natural view/and flow of the street. I don't think Uhunian is against pedestrian bridges in general. However, this one in particular is in a location that doesn't really demand or require its implementation/use.
Further if one is a condo building and one is mainly a building for the union, what is the great need of having these permanently attached via a large pedestrian bridge spanning a smaller road in an area that is not particularly dense. |

Rumours have been going round for a while that the Proshine Car Wash site will also be developed, maybe along with Bella's as WAIP has very few windows on the western side of the building |

Overall, though, we are losing a lot of small spaces, and not replacing them very well. Not a good trend. |

Association releases site plan for $25M office building
Published on March 14, 2012 OBJ Staff After being displaced from its property to make way for light-rail construction, a French-language association has submitted a site plan for the facility that will replace it on Montreal Road. The $25-million building at 250 Montreal Rd., in Vanier, will be seven storeys high with two levels of underground parking and two loading bays, according to city documents. It will be a mixed-use building, with commercial uses on the ground and office space for the rest of the floors. The Association des enseignantes et enseignants franco-ontariens owns the site. It is primarily vacant except for a parking lot used by tenants for the nearby 290 Dupuis St. – which is also owned by the association. Association officials announced the purchase of the site in February. The sale price was not revealed. "We had no choice," said association president Benoit Mercier in a statement at the time. "We were served with a notice of expropriation by the city of Ottawa for our property located at 681 Belfast Rd." Comments are open on the site plan, which has yet to be reviewed by a city committee. No construction timeline has been released. Subcontractors for the project so far include Martineau Architecture Inc. + Smith Carter Architects & Engineers Inc. (traffic noise assessment) and Paterson Group Inc. (environmental assessment). http://www.obj.ca/Real%20Estate/Non-...ice-building/1 |

Was the new render based on the 'dazzle-ship' concept, designed to make it hard for the enemy to see the entire bulk of the ship/building clearly and thereby sink it?

The largest transaction was for a 57,059 square foot parcel of commercial land located on 250 Montreal Road. The property was purchased by Complexe 250 Inc. from 250 Montreal Rd Inc. for $4,030,000 or $71/sf. The purchaser intends to develop the property with a seven-storey 103,674 square foot office building with a ground floor commercial component. The majority of the proposed building will be owner-occupied. The proposed development represents the first of a two-phase office project. The second phase will be located on the southwest corner of Montreal Road and Dupuis Street, which the purchaser had acquired in January 2012. The two phases will be connected by an elevated walkway. |

And the pedestrian plaza will no longer be a pedestrian thoroughfare either? The last thing Montreal Road & Vanier Parkway need is more car traffic. |
