The "Privates" (Georgeton, Anjou, Jardin, etc) in Domicile's "Manor Park East" development are in fact private (though ungated). They are part of the common areas surrounding the freehold homes in the development (the homes themselves have small yards that are part of the freehold). Domicile purchased the entire site, including the roadways. The residents are responsible for maintenance, cleaning, snowploughing etc. The cost (weep, condo dwellers!) is $38 per month.

Unlike new suburbs, however, mail is delivered to the door, rather than to common post boxes. All in all, a nice arrangement.

This is what I thought the private streets were all about as well. I think the private roads in Chelsea are like this as well, with residents responsible for maintenance and snow clearing.

I think there are some like this in Wakefield (La Pêche) as well. I know a guy who lives on one of them and his share of the road's snow clearing bill for the winter was something like $800 (!), and that doesn`t even include his own laneway.

Here are some pictures I took yesterday while in the neighbourhood. The tower has soared past its tenth floor and cladding has begun:

This will be a brutal little piece of streetscape:

From a distance, though, there are some eye-pleasing (though certainly not eye-watering) views starting to take shape:

I can think of a few more angles from which this tower will become a new fixture on the Vanier skyline, but couldn't snap them - next time!

I guess "La Leak" wasn't all that good a name...

Lalique isn't a good name when you don't bother to contact the copyright owner (www.lalique.com) and ask them if it's alright to use their name and imagery to sell your condos.

Hence, the purposeful mispelling of the new name. I guess they didn't like our spelling variation of "La Leak".

from this afternoon (by me):

shingles? does anyone know if they're real?

Lots of brick, looks good!

The view from Strathcona Park (taken by me yesterday)

What's funny about Ottawa, is that there are so many low-rise/stubby buildings around, that anything that's over 15-20 storeys actually looks kinda tall...

from the Cummings Bridge

Bonus Vanier Skyline shot...

Another cool vantage point for this place is at the roundabout at St Joseph/Allumettières in Hull. I'd take a pic from there if I ever found the time.

harls · #74 Posted **Jul 28, 2009, 6:08 PM**

You can just see the building poking out on the top left behind East Market.

ajldub · #75 Posted **Jul 28, 2009, 7:20 PM**

Please don't ever leave us again, Harls... I don't know what would become of the rest of us...

kwoldtimer · #76 Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 12:43 AM**

I will reserve judgement until I see the finished exterior, but this condo is starting to look incredibly .... beige, even for Ottawa. Two of them together may be a bit hard to take. Maybe other exterior finishes will liven it up a bit.

Kitchissippi · #77 Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 1:09 AM**

Nah, it looks like it will get the same teal green glass as the Claridge Plaza. This building could have been sharp with black glass and tinted windows. Beige and black would remind me of a pint of Guinness, and I would welcome two of those anytime.

I'd la-lick my lips
