In other cities, developments near the water and water views are typically very much sought after. In Ottawa that doesn't seem to be necessarily the case, or maybe it's just because our waterways are lined with grass and parkways or are zoned for low-density and NIMBYs fight projects tooth and nail.
All along the canal (on both sides), it mostly low-density. Same with the Rideau river save for 2-3 older projects close to St-Patricks. It's a shame...
