Even if this was out in Gloucester or Nepean it would be bad. But the fact that’s it’s right downtown makes it even worse.

The predominantly black tower fronting Gloucester is passable. It's more or less cohesive and I like the curved balcony portion and the red at the top doesn't show much.

It's ugly sister on Nepean though is a complete disaster. Uncohesive look, random patches of materials everywhere including black corners on some levels, much more prominent red paint and that god ugly teal patch (leftover from CP) on the front. It truly is a dog's breakfast and is giving "Story Of" a run for its money

The only saving grace here is that the project will be blocked in on all sides. I look forward to it being invisible from all angles, save street level, some day in the near future.

I hate this monstrosity of a project a little more every time I drive by downtown on the Queensway. It looks like it's still under construction with all the random materials and the stupid red patches. A dog's breakfast for sure.

True, but at least it doesn’t have the white crosses from Story of Bait and Switch.

Truly the pinnacle of Ottawa's mediocrity.
