Yugh - it's as if Ebenezer Howard and Le Corbusier had a bastard child in the waiting room of a Gatineau ER... Uuuuuuugly, inside and out. No thank you.

Just hearing the name BRIGIL is a huge turnoff, no thanks!

I was just thinking that I might (generously) call this a "Contemporary-Corbu" style, but not a high or fine example of it, to be sure!

The first residents moving into this urban village will need to deal with construction for the following ten years.

That will not be good.

I have a hard time believing that they have the demand for such a massive development... thats a ton of space to fill.

THIS IS WHAT LEBRETON SHOULD LOOK LIKE!

Anyways, it's not bad, sucks we can't see more renderings of the whole project and the other buildings. But I kinda agree, I would find it hard to believe they have the demand to build and fill this project, especially in the Aylmer sector.

Curious to see what the commercial and corporate campus sections of the overall plan will be. I live in Aylmer, and though I do support these projects, the big problem will be roads and infrastructure to facilitate the amount of people to and from Aylmer.

Hopefully they'll find ways to move these people around, to and from Aylmer, either a new bridge or a ferry service, but I doubt the Ottawa West end NIMBYs will allow that

Good lord - WHY is it so hard for developers to build mixed-use?

This is mixed use in the same way that I become a cyborg when I hold my phone beside my body.

Hopefully, they will have more success than the failure called Petrie's Landing, I doubt that all of this will be built. Maybe parts but not all as there isn't that much demand

Before anything gets built in that open field, Lucerne Blvd needs a major overhaul. The pavement is terrible. Just imagine hundreds of additional cars pulverizing the pavement.

One councillor had an idea of adding a third lane and alternating traffic flow, much like the Champlain bridge. That would help with congestion.

Place des Peuples kinda makes sense though. It would be right next to the major employment centres, right next to the Byward market and right next to the major transport arteries. Plus, since it would be on the Québec side of the river unit cost would be much lower than the equivalent shoeboxes in downtown Ottawa which would make it really attractive for all the condo seeking yuppies.

Construction will start this summer. It's going to be 43 residential buildings, ranging from 3 to 10 storeys.

That looks a lot better than what they were originally proposing. Looks like a town.

Actually, looks like a suburban shopping centre (grocery store and bank with a few 'unique' (OOOooOOo) commercial tenants that'll end up being a dentist and a cell phone store or something, with a 'unique' Kelseys or St. Hubert.

Behind this 'unique' and 'urban' 'centre of employment' (a two storey and four-storey office park intended to employ everyone who lives there) there's 25 low rise condos that will NOT fare well with time.

The flowery language on their website is insanity. And stylized with a photo of the conference centre and parliament? Yes, sorry, yes the views will be spectacular. Once you look out your condo window, past the vast parking lots and 'preserved woodland and ponds' nestled between windswept barren lawnscapes, past the adjacent condo buildings, you can start to imagine yourself anywhere else...like at the conference centre, looking towards parliament...
