Like with most projects (academic or paid work), they seem to wait to finish the job until the very last minute 😂 Here’s hoping that brick gets painted to a much darker colour before opening. The beige looks hideous with the grey

Was walking around at a time of day during traffic, but I still managed to take a few pics this past weekend Looks really good. Unfortunately the nearby road traffic ruins the area somewhat, otherwise I would imagine that there’d be a lot of people using their balconies and taking advantage...

At what point do we keep on telling this to ourselves? There’s already plenty of new apartments in the area, and the best that they can do is a poor attempt at a “depanneur”

During seasonal events, yes. Lots of activities were on that stretch of road during Canada Day last year! But I also went several times during the summer months, and a lot of the time the street was closed off but still empty, with very minimal foot traffic I don’t care about the parking spots...

The other (pedestrianized) part of William Street? It gets a lot of foot traffic because it acts like a “passage” between the Rideau Centre and the Byward Market, but other than the restaurant that takes up a bunch of the space with its patio seating, it’s mostly just homeless people Again, I’m...

I mentioned this on a post on the Ottawa subreddit, but I just don’t see much of a missed opportunity here. The street would do well to be pedestrianized, and less cars in the ByWard Market is always a plus. But if the city’s only plan is to put in some stone and some benches, on a relatively...

A month later, does anyone have any updates on this? No official announcement through social media that they've finished construction, although they're seemingly starting to bring in residents for move-in already (as per their website) On topic, what a fantastic project. I do hope that the...

I hope this isn’t the case. That stretch of road from Sussex Drive to William Street is pretty much dead (other than people taking the bus and the homeless). Bringing some residential units would hopefully liven up that stretch of road, alongside the new music venue that’s opening in August...

Photos taken on April 29th 2026 Construction is progressing well. Scaffolding along the front of the building has been removed, although for some reason they still haven’t finished the side adjacent to the local highschool. They’re working on building plant boxes along the courtyard, and once...

yes, although one more hotel next to the airport is not going to change that. People who are travelling with international flights are still going to want to go directly to Montreal because it’s much cheaper and easier to do the Hotel that connects to YUL, works because Montreal is a busy hub...

really not much of a masterpiece, but it’s one of those things that feels like an “upgrade” for the airport Doubt that people would want to stay here when there’s better hotels downtown, although I suspect that people looking for cheap bookings will want to stay here instead. Will be curious to...

another 20 years of building apartment units, with no commercial tenants to show for it

I believe that while there are some residents here who take the 90 bus line, it’s moreso people who want to stop and pickup food at the Popeyes and/or Mezbaan. The 90 line isn’t really that popular amongst residents here, unless they’re looking to go straight to Billings Bridge on the plus...

Images taken on February 24th 2026 A little bit of progress here and there: siding at the front and back of the building is done, however the side opposite the local highschool doesn’t seem to have been worked on yet, and there’s a few spots here and there where you can still see raw wood and...

haha fair enough. It’s been taking so long that you have to wonder what the development strategy is. Existing units seem to be selling pretty well so far, so I don’t think that it would have to do with a lack of interest/demand- maybe they think that if they build too much at once, the area...
