High quality renderings! I like the style they used!

However, the building is disappointing. Sorta makes me think of La Galleria on Besserer.

Interesting mixture of Modern and Post-Modern. I don't hate it.

Well said. I don't love it, but don't hate it either.

Too bad they couldn't have kept the spire from their original design...

Actually, this'd look really nice downtown, in the CBD!

[J.OT13]

Yeah, the original design would have been great with a cluster of towers like the redeveloped Tunney's, Carling at Preston (though a taller version might be warranted), the Escarpment District, Hull or Bayview (assuming it will be another downtown).

That said, I didn't like it along Parkdale. One tower with a spire in a line of flat topped towers did not fit in. For this location, I prefer the current Brigile proposal.

[Kitchissippi]

I thought the old design was a joke. I looked at the layouts of the upper floors and the units were just stuffed in to conform to that awkward shape which resulted in a lot of useless space where the acute angles are. Terrible architecture. A spire, unless it has a function or revenue (was it supposed to be a cellphone tower?) would be a high-maintenance item that could saddle the condo corporation in the future.

[J.OT13]

End of the day, it was a joke. Nothing but a ploy to increase the zoning for maximum profitability at resale.

[Arcologist]

Two of those -- side by side and of differing heights -- located in the CBD would work wonders for our handicapped skyline!

[OTSkyline]

Agreed! Loved the shape, mixture of brick/windows and the slanted roof/spire of the original proposal.. Something like this in Downtown, Little Italy or Rideau St would've done wonders for the sea of concrete square and flat rooftop buildings...

Not a big fan of the newer proposal... For me, it looks like a mix of The Galleria & OttawaU's 90U student residences

[Arcologist]

If they ever get to ripping down L'Esplanade Laurier, then two of these babies would fit in very nicely!

[rocketphish]

I re-upped the imagery, which seems to go missing all too often.

Meet the Condo: 121 Parkdale in Ottawa
New highrise condo coming to Hintonburg.

By: Ilana Reimer, Metro
Published on Wed Oct 04 2017



Project overview

Next month, Brigil will begin work on 121 Parkdale, a new 32-storey condominium advertising unobstructed views of many of Ottawa’s major landmarks. Construction is expected to take two years. The building itself will have a unique design, with a brick facade on the east and south sides, and primarily glass on the west and north sides.

Housing amenities

The condo units will have high-level finishes, and there will be over 6,500 square feet of common areas, including a pool, exterior lounge, gym, multipurpose room and a rooftop terrace. The ground floor includes a café with an outdoor terrace. The condo will also have a secured entrance, storage lockers and bicycle storage.

Location and transit

The condo will be in an ideal location, only five minutes from downtown, and near a future Light Rail transit stop. Residents will have access to a number of transportation networks, including pedestrian and bicycle paths, interprovincial bridges, bus routes, the O-Train and Highway 417.

In the neighbourhood

Located right in Hintonburg, 121 Parkdale is just minutes from the trendy Westboro neighbourhood, and not far from the Ottawa River. There are a number of bike paths, parks and green spaces in the area, providing close proximity to both nature and regular city conveniences. From here, residents will be just seconds away from a wide variety of restaurants, bars, cafés, art galleries and shops.
