That's something I don't find myself saying very often.

Great! Thanks for the post. I'll be keeping an eye on this. Good news for this stretch of King Edward and for contemporary architecture in Ottawa. We need more of this, much more.

Very nice! It'll instantly be the nicest building on King Edward.

The bar is not exactly high on King Edward. Looks like a great proposal. Really interested to see some more drawings especially how the courtyard is going to work.

I agree with you about the bar not being set very high on King Edward. It just seems to be a through way for traffic and nothing more. I am really impressed by this building though, and really look forward to seeing more detailed drawings in the future.

Nice to see something that's not a historic department store coming down for once.
