ville-marie Tour Quartier des spectacles (Spectrum) - 14, 33 étages (2018)

The only airline that I know that works in a downtown tower is United in the Willis tower.

 

Air Transat, ça compte?

I disagree that Montreal loses HQs because they are not competitive. Look at all the HQs that flourish here; Saputo. Couche-tarde; Bombardier; Jean-Coutu, National Bank; Standard Life; Valeant; etc. . Why do some succeed internationally even, out of Montreal, while others take the 401? Those who have left have been under the control of Anglo- Canadians, who were not prepared to accept the reality of working in Montreal...and I say this as an Anglo-Montrealer. Many of them crept secretly out of town, because they knew that they couldn`t really justify openly their leaving on economic grounds. So, it is no surprise that there is concern about AC and Bell. Both are predominantly Anglo-Canadian enterprises, who match exactly the profile of those others who went down the 401. Personally I hope that they will stay, but in both cases they seem to be resisting full integration into the local community.

Bell has a ton of franco-Canadians working for it. So much of their revenue comes from Quebec. The C level and executive ranksThey need to be present here - the problem is the major media players are all based in Toronto. Montreal is just not primetime.

 

 

Exactly, expected for Astral media.

Entre cette tour et la Place Ville-Marie, je crois que ces firmes choisiraient la PVM au détriment d'un bâtiment tout neuf... Avec le départ de Deloitte, il va y avoir plein d'étages vacants, à moins qu'ils soient déjà loués.

 

La PVM a un taux de vacance de près de 25%. C'est 400,000p² ça! C'est beaucoup d'espace.

Ils la rénovent je crois ? pour se mettre à niveau.

''The modernization and upgrading program, begun a few years ago, should conclude in early 2014 with a LEED® Silver certification.''

Oui, je sais. Ils ont un gros programme pour enlever toute l'amiante qu'il y a dans cet immeuble. De cette façon ils pourront avoir la certification LEED.

Ils devraient détruire les 2 petits immeubles de 6 étages le long de l'avenue Catcarth et faire une entrée prestigieuse pour les galeries PVM et des bistros le long de cette rue. Ces édifices enlaidissent la PVM et ajoutent au taux de vacance de l'ensemble.

Je ne suis pas du tout d'accord. Question d'équilibre, ces édifices ont autant leur place en bas de la Grande Dame qu'en avaient les WTC 4, 5 et 6 au pied des tours jumelles à New-York.

En fait, la Place Ville Marie ne désigne pas la tour de 188 mètres en tant que telle, contrairement à ce que beaucoup de gens (dont moi il y a pas longtemps) pensent. La PVM, c'est l'ensemble des édifices qui entourent la tour. Le vrai nom du gratte-ciel est le "1 Place Ville Marie".

The C level and executive ranksThey need to be present here - the problem is the major media players are all based in Toronto. Montreal is just not primetime. Air Canada on the other hand has a much larger revenue pile in Toronto vs. Montreal.

 

FYI - Valeant has an HQ in name only. The huge majority of their work is based in New Jersey - the CEO never comes to Montreal. There must have been some sweetheart deal to name the HQ here - but in reality it's a shell.

 

 

Why do you say Montreal is not prime time.

Can you list the media companies based in To vs Mtl.

For the last 4 decades, Bell has been switching is HO between Mtl and To depending on who is empowered.

This has nothing to do with what happened with the banks (BMO, RBC) for instance or even competitiveness,

What are factors of competitiveness that would favor a presenceof Bell in To vs Mtl in the media space: PLEASE PUT UP A LIST (I can't wait to see that).

 

What you are saying on Valeant is half true.

The HO is getting more and more busy, just so you know...

 

I don't know why you are slapping Mtl's face like you do but I simply don't get it.

Personnaly, I think you don't really have a clue of what you are saying because your points are quite superficial and sometimes baseless, but anyhow, you seem so convinced, why don't you just go some where else, so that you can see by yourself.

 

Have you ever lived in another city?

Do you really have a perspective on how things are outside of here?

Just a curiosity.
