Awesome to see progress like this instead of an excavation! When this one hits street level, I'm sure it's going to be one of the closest followed projects in town...

I guess this should be changed from "proposed" to "under construction".

Does anyone have a update on how things are going with this project?

Davis137 · #**127** Posted: **Jun 21, 2012, 11:42 PM**

I'm anxious to see updates on this one too...it's got to be up at least 1 level above the bottom of the pit by now...

I've been visiting this site every few weeks, they are finishing up the last underground level right now -- next week or 2 they will start building first floor above ground .... WOOhooo!

Cool, I should go over and grab some pictures at lunch...it's right near the Navy Mess...

I can't wait for this building to be completed. It's going to look absolutely spectacular on the Ottawa skyline!

Davis137 · #**133** Posted: **Jul 4, 2012, 12:24 AM**

Wow, it looks like this one might be closing in on being at grade by the end of July, and going skywards before the fall...

kevinbottawa · #**134** Posted: **Jul 18, 2012, 6:06 PM**

Looking good.

Davis137 · #**135** Posted: **Jul 19, 2012, 5:35 PM**

Awesome to see it's hit grade! Can't wait for it to go skywards now...

kevinbottawa · #**136** Posted: **Jul 19, 2012, 6:07 PM**

Here are a few more pics from today. Walls are going up.

Davis137 · #**137** Posted: **Jul 19, 2012, 8:45 PM**

Alright, this is great, and I'm really anxious now to see this one go up. It's going to be the best looking residential building downtown, other than Hudson Park. I'm hoping it's execution is as good as the Continental on Richmond was done. If so, it will make it's mark on the skyline really well.

Great update! Thanks concrete06!

Only problem with this building, is the south facing units on the first 10-12 floors will have a crummy view of the exteded stay hotels balconies on the other side of the property line...

I am however, extremely happy to see that they already have the forms in place for part of the 2nd floor...this one might be on it's way to 3/4 of it's height, or possibly close topout by christmas time...
