Ottawa is a weird one. It has over 200 more highrise buildings than Calgary, but they are stumpy and spread out, so you'd never guess it. Due to the protected view planes, it is developing far taller skylines outside of the traditional downtown.
There are currently nodes with multiple 30+ story buildings in:
Downtown
Little Italy
Tunney's Pasture
Within 10 years there will be most likely be notable skyline nodes with multiple 30+ story buildings in:
Centretown
Hull (Quebec Side)
The Glebe (Lansdowne)
Kanata North
Kanata Centrum
Lebreton Flats
Barrhaven
Bayshore/Baseline
Ambleside/Lincoln Fields
Foster Farm
Bank & Walkley
Gloucester Centre/Telesat Court
Both sides of the 417 between Riverside & St. Laurent
Vanier
Cyrville/St. Laurent
Orleans Centrum
Orleans Trim Road
Westboro
Elmvale
Westgate
Sandy Hill/Lees
Possibly:
Bell's Corners
Centrepointe
Mooney's Bay
Billing's Bridge
Carlingwood
All along St. Laurent Blvd.
Hurdman
Faircrest
Gatineau (proper)
South Keys
Riverside South
The city is going through a massive transformation akin to Vancouver over the past ten years.
