Des condos au coin de De Maisonneuve et de la Montagne Par ailleurs, la société Canderel projette de construire une tour de condos d’environ 200 logements au 1445, rue de la Montagne, voisine de l’hôtel Vogue et près du Four Seasons. « On vient juste de compléter le processus de zonage, indique M. Miller, au cours du même appel. On est à évaluer quand on mettra les condos à vendre. » Le nouveau projet de Canderel au centre-ville Il s’agira d’un rare chantier résidentiel à sortir de terre au centre-ville ces temps-ci. Pour les quatre premiers mois de 2023, 614 logements ont été mis en chantier seulement, par rapport à 990 un an plus tôt, une diminution de 38 %, selon l’Association des professionnels de la construction et de l’habitation du Québec. Le promoteur, qui a bâti les trois tours de condos des Canadiens, près du Centre Bell, mène de front une dizaine de projets résidentiels à travers le Canada. Il commence à sonder le terrain pour des acquisitions, ajoute son PDG. Pour revenir au terrain du 1445, rue de la Montagne, son acquéreur, le groupe Carttera, a payé 48,5 millions pour l’obtenir en septembre 2020. Le rôle municipal lui donnait une valeur de 11,1 millions. Le prix payé revient à 230 $ le pied carré constructible, ce qui est plus élevé que le prix des transactions antérieures réalisées au centre-ville. Surtout actif dans la région torontoise, Carttera a collaboré à la réalisation de projets dans le secteur du Centre Bell, dans Griffintown et à Vaudreuil-Dorion. https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/marche-immobilier/2023-05-25/regard-sur-l-immobilier/pourquoi-pas-un-g-o-au-bureau.php

To think not that long ago we were tripping over a 25 story tower. Now it’s min 40+ or bust.

One of the best integrations of new and old that I’ve seen. Super classy.

Looks awesome. Would you be able to add the 900 St-Jacques? Not sure if you can even be seen BN and VSLP.

https://montrealgazette.com/business/local-business/broccolini-buys-golden-square-mile-parcel-eyes-flagship-project Broccolini eyes Golden Square Mile ‘flagship’ project in latest bet on Montreal The 70,000-square-foot lot, at the corner of Guy and Sherbrooke Sts. offers “unique potential,” the company said. FRÉDÉRIC TOMESCO Updated: November 5 2019 Kirkland-based builder Broccolini is making another big bet on Montreal. The family-owned construction and real estate company plans to erect a new “flagship” project on a 70,000-square-foot parcel of land it recently acquired in the so-called Golden Square Mile, at the corner of Sherbrooke and Guy Sts., according to a statement issued Tuesday. Financial terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed. Located close to Guy-Concordia métro station and Concordia University, the newly purchased piece of land offers “unique potential,” Broccolini said. While the site now features an office tower, several possible development scenarios are under consideration, the company said without elaborating. “Just as our clients have confidence in Broccolini’s expertise, we have confidence in the strength of Montreal’s economy,” Roger Plamondon, Broccolini’s head of real estate, said in the statement. Broccolini is involved in more than $1.5 billion worth of projects under construction in downtown Montreal. The list includes National Bank of Canada’s future 40-storey headquarters, which are due to be ready in 2023 and estimated to cost about $500 million; the new Maison de Radio-Canada, which is scheduled to open next year; and the Victoria sur le Parc multi-use project, which will feature commercial and office space and a 58-storey luxury condo tower. “We remain bullish on the residential market,” Plamondon said in a recent telephone interview. “There is a shortage on the rental part of the residential market, and condos are still sought after. Montreal is a great university hub, which brings people who are looking for places to live close by.” Broccolini has about 350 employees split between its three offices in Kirkland, Ottawa and Toronto. The company traces its roots back to 1949, when founder Donato Broccolini took on the task of building a single-family house in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. Over time, he expanded to neighbourhoods such as LaSalle and Montreal West. Broccolini began bidding for various government projects in the 1970s before branching out into commercial and industrial construction work for third parties a decade later — in particular, building stores for big chains such as Best Buy, Canadian Tire, Future Shop and Walmart. Over the last decade, the company has financed its transition from a pure contractor into a real estate owner and developer by raising about $500 million through five different limited partnerships, according to executive vice-president Joseph Broccolini, one of the founder’s sons. “When the company started to do real estate, one of our limitations was the source of funds,” he said in the joint interview with Plamondon. The outside capital “permitted us to aggressively seek development activities.” With the most recent fundraising effort having netted more than $200 million, Plamondon said the company will probably start marketing a sixth fund, either at the end of next year or at the start of 2021. “To me there is no bigger testimony of trust when people are willing to give you money and make it grow for them,” he said. “This is what has permitted us to go into different projects” and expand into Ontario. One of Broccolini’s key projects in Canada’s most populous province is the one-million-square-foot fulfillment centre that the company is building for online retail behemoth Amazon near Toronto. It’s due to open next year. Plamondon, who has been active in real estate since 1973, says the industrial property market in Ontario and Quebec “is as hot as I can remember.” “There is a great shift in logistics: everybody is trying to get in on the last mile,” he said. “There is also a clear interest from governments, especially in Quebec with the government of the CAQ, to pursue industrial development. So that sector is very hot. People actively seek us to be their partner.” The way Joseph Broccolini puts it, the company isn’t about to run out of work. “There is a pipeline of projects that we are looking at,” he said. “What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Quick question and sorry if it has already been answered. Why are the REM tracks different between the west island and the south shore? Thanks in advance.

Before & after.

Current HQ sold to Kevric. https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/entreprises/201907/29/01-5235506-la-banque-nationale-vend-son-siege-social-a-kevric.php

It's a start. I'm thinking it is a "loop hole" sort of way to eventually move the Rays or get a full franchise in Montreal. I do not think it is a give in that the Rays attendance will drastically improve even with a new stadium. Look at the Marlins - you need more than just a new stadium.

So is it 147m + base or 147 on top of the base (that would be about 12 m) giving 159 m total. Can never be sure without elevation diagrams. In the first pic of the header, it looks like the base does not factor in the total height since the tower has pillars on the left which would be included as part of the total height of 147m.

Well GDS had mentioned that they signed in 2012 for 10 years. So they can technically still sign on with 750 peel since depending on the construction start & duration, the tower(s) would be ready around 2022.

Makes no sense....they are already present in France both in stores and online. https://www.uniqlo.com/fr/fr/find-stores

Quartier des spectacles La phase 2 du projet immobilier Laurent & Clark bientôt mise en chantier Guillaume Picard - Agence QMI | Publié le 12 octobre 2018 à 13:46 - Mis à jour le 12 octobre 2018 à 13:49 Ajouter aux favoris PHOTO COURTOISIE/Laurent & Clark Le promoteur Rachel Julien mettra en chantier en début d’année la seconde des deux tours de son projet immobilier Laurent & Clark, en plein cœur du Quartier des spectacles. L’entreprise a lancé vendredi les ventes des 12 penthouses de cet immeuble de 25 étages qui sera situé dans le quadrilatère des boulevards de Maisonneuve et Saint-Laurent ainsi que des rues Clark et Ontario. Les penthouses de 1350 à 2350 pieds carrés se retrouveront des étages 23 à 25, avec des prix tournant autour de 900 $ le pied carré, soit entre 1 million $ et 2 millions $, plus taxes. Au dernier étage, les propriétaires disposeront d’unités à deux niveaux et pourront, pour ce qui est des plus grandes superficies, opter pour trois ou quatre chambres. Ils auront également droit à un service de conciergerie et de sécurité. «On a donné le mandat à nos designers de créer des espaces recherchés, différents, a dit le PDG de Rachel Julien, Denis Robitaille, en entrevue avec l’Agence QMI. Tout ce qui est ébénisterie a été abordé avec un œil haut de gamme, de même que l’utilisation des matériaux et les électroménagers seront des Miele.» Lancé en avril 2016, le Laurent & Clark n’est pas ardu à promouvoir, selon M. Robitaille, bien que les condos soient localisés dans un quartier qui, en juin et en juillet de chaque année, est pris d’assaut par les festivals faisant la renommée de la métropole. «Ce n’est pas difficile à vendre dans le secteur, a indiqué M. Robitaille. L’enjeu était de démontrer la qualité du projet. On voulait une architecture forte. On vient ceinturer le Quartier des spectacles et on aura des vues qui ne seront jamais obstruées. Nous, notre force, c’est d’avoir une vue extraordinaire sur le centre-ville, sur le fleuve et le Quartier des spectacles, et ça va demeurer toujours dégagée.» Il reste que des tours pourraient éventuellement être érigées sur les terrains voisins à l’est du Laurent & Clark, notamment au-dessus de l’édicule de la station de métro Saint-Laurent, ce qui viendrait gêner la vue de certains propriétaires. Les deux tours du Laurent & Clark, dessinées par la firme d'architectes Menkes Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux, compteront au total 360 condos au lieu des 335 annoncés lors du dévoilement. Le promoteur a redessiné certains étages inférieurs pour répondre aux besoins des acheteurs, qui souhaitaient des unités plus petites allant de 500 à 550 pieds carrés. La phase 1 est écoulée à 96 % à ce stade-ci et l’on vient de couler le 8e des 20 étages. Quant à la phase 2, dont les travaux se mettront en branle en janvier ou en février 2019, les unités sont vendues dans une proportion de 50 %. La livraison des premières unités doit avoir lieu en 2021. «La majorité de notre clientèle est âgée de 50 ans et plus. Les acheteurs veulent profiter des forces du secteur, qui est animé dans le bon sens. Beaucoup d’argent a été dépensé dans ce quartier», a dit M. Robitaille. En plus de toutes les salles de spectacles, des restaurants, des boutiques et des moyens de transport, le secteur du Laurent & Clark sera bientôt complété avec l’aménagement de l’Îlot Clark, qui sera une place publique en été et une patinoire en hiver. Toujours à l’affût Denis Robitaille a indiqué que son entreprise est «toujours à l’affût de nouveaux sites» à développer et elle mène de front deux autres projets immobiliers en ce moment, soit Les Bassins du Havre avec Prével dans Griffintown ainsi que le U31 dans l’arrondissement de Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie.

Montreal real estate: Development offers a balance of ‘magic’ and math 'You can't look at real estate development as an Excel model. You can't forget you're building for people,' Benjamin Sternthal said. BRIANA TOMKINSON, SPECIAL TO THE MONTREAL GAZETTE Updated: October 5, 2018 Solstice Montreal, a 44-storey, 330-unit real estate project on de la Montagne St., south of René-Lévesque Blvd., is expected to be ready in 2021. HANDOUT / COURTESY OF KODEM For Montreal real estate developer Benjamin Sternthal, the ideal building project is a marriage of logic and vision: not just financially successful, but also, in some way, remarkable. “We believe in magic, and we believe in logic,” Sternthal said. “You can’t look at real estate development as an Excel model. You can’t forget you’re building for people.” To Sternthal, whose development company Kodem has spearheaded a wide variety of projects including ski resorts, elementary schools, village centres and condo towers, a building is never just a building. It’s an opportunity to create meaningful places in urban spaces, to be a part of the transformation of a city from good to great. Take Sternthal’s latest project, Solstice Montreal (solsticemontreal.com), is a 44-storey, 330-unit development to be built on de la Montagne St., south of René-Lévesque Blvd, just a short walk from the Lucien L’Allier métro and train station. Solstice includes a long list of luxurious extras for the future residents of the building, but its design also aims to make a notable mark on the neighbourhood streetscape and the Montreal skyline. “What we’re marketing and selling is really a sense of place,” Sternthal said. “When you buy into a building you buy into a community.” The building is expected to be completed by 2021 and will be among the tallest in the city, Sternthal said. It will be crowned by unusual architectural features to create a distinctive landmark that will stand out among the growing forest of towers downtown. An elevated east-west pedestrian path to be built by the city of Montreal linking Overdale Ave. and de la Montagne will connect to a covered walkway snaking around the foot of the Solstice building. Sternthal said the project will include park-like landscaping and public art, like a mini version of New York City’s famous High Line, the elevated park built on the former New York Central Railroad. Local entrepreneurs Luc Quenneville and Sylvain Ménard have teamed up for the project under the banner Consortium QMD-Ménard, bringing in Kodem to handle development on the project, along with MP1 for advertising and branding and the real estate marketing company SIX to manage sales. With design work done by award-winning Montreal architectural firm NEUF, the unique shape of the building is the result of months of experimentation to find a way to bring more light in. The square footprint of the building is notched on two sides, creating an irregular shape with six corner units instead of four on the lower floors. With the exception of studios, every unit will also have a recessed balcony. Internationally known Montreal-based ceramic artist Pascale Girardin has been commissioned to create two original works of art for Solstice: a mobile installation in the building’s foyer as well as a dramatic textured mural that will be visible from the fourth-floor pool, spa and gym. The focus on art and design isn’t by accident. Sternthal said the goal is to create an atmosphere like that of a boutique hotel: distinctive, luxurious and beautiful. Interior finishing will incorporate oak and copper accents along with locally sourced Montreal stone, and Solstice has inked a partnership with high-end furniture store Restoration Hardware to fully furnish apartments for those buyers who desire it. Every unit will also have a full kitchen with an island, rather than the galley-style kitchens often seen in smaller apartments. In addition to the expected amenities, like a swimming pool and gym, Solstice will incorporate spa-like hot and cold pools, an owner’s lounge reminiscent of a hotel bar, and a private wine cellar with access to a tasting room for entertaining guests. It’s one thing to design a place of beauty. To create a place of belonging, a feeling of connection within a community is a much bigger challenge. It’s a lofty aim, but as Montreal’s building boom continues, I hope we’ll see more developers do their best to try.
