wellz

I would expect them to go to maximum height for this lot. Could be looking at another 50 floors!!

Qui a raison?

C'est 55 ou 58 étages?

Pas d'importance. Ca sera 200m!

I can see them starting construction in spring 2019. Weren't units 40% reserved a couple weeks ago?? This thing will sell out by Christmas!!

This area is gearing up to become a massive construction zone!

60's commie block style is still in fashion i see.

You mean like my original post:

There you go. Much better ?

10 floors x 10,000 sqf per floor = total 100,000 sqf
20 floors x 5,000 sqf per floor = total 100,000 sqf
40 floors x 2,500 sqf per floor = total 100,000 sqf
80 floors x 1,250 sqf per floor = total 100,000 sqf
...
You probably guessed by now that the 80 floor tower would be skinnier than the 10 floor tower ?

A more better comprehensive answer would be the one ChrisDVD gave, but nice try!

From my understanding there is a limited amount of sq feet that your project can have. With the current height solstice reaches the maximum allowed in terms of sq feet. If they wanted to build higher they would have to make a slimmer tower. So basically if we want taller building we need to increase de sq feet limite. Thats it!

So therefore, the city has you by the balls in not only height but also square footage. I get it! Shame.

As it's mentionned regularly on this site, the amount of square feet that a developer can build is limited by the size of the lot. In the case of Soltice, they are building the max. They could build higher but it would take a skinnier tower and at the end it would be the same amount of square footage to sell. Be happy - they could also have built lower with a fattier building!

How would it be the same square footage to sell by building to, lets say 50 floors instead of 44 and why would they need to build skinnier?? Please explain. Also, do not assume that I am not pleased with another building going up on that lot. I am mainly pointing out the lack of vision of some of these Montreal developers.

CF and Broccolini have proven over and over again that there is a market for tall condo towers here in Montreal. Why do other developers shy away from building to the maximum height allowed (e.g. Soltice, 1000 de la montagne)? hmmm.. i think lack of vision is the most likely reasoning. Please dont bring up market conditions. These downtown condos have been selling like hot cakes for the past decade or more!! 

Yikes! That parking lot needs to go pronto!

Developers are finally growing some balls in Montreal! Now all we need is CF to change its thinking for 700 Peel and build two mixed use 50 floor towers instead of that joke render they have now!

Just glad to finally see some activity on that site. Its been an embarrassment for decades!!

Il manque juste maintenant un projet pour le petit lot carré derrière le Roccabella. 

I dont think its feasible to build anything on that lot. 

Je serais pas surpris si un jour il scrappe le projet et que BNC annonce qu'ils vont emmenager leurs bureau dans le stade olympique!

C'est clairement pas 48 etages. Dapres le rendu, on compte 39 a 44 etages max (si on compte les etages basiliere et penthouse double).

Je suis sur que "basiliere de 4 etage" veux dire le stationement. Donc 44 etages!

Setting up to be one of the most dense areas in the country!!

Thanks for all the speculations! But what about they're willing to sale at a reasonnable price but they insist that they keep their business at this address using the ground floor of the new building? ?

Include a premium in the offer so that they can relocate their shitty business to st-laurent street!!

L'entree a vraiment de la classe. Ca va faire du bien dans ce coin!!

So 44 floors is confirmed. Should be similar in height to Rocabella. 

Bon ca commence a monter vite!!

Meme les plans de 2011 ne sont plus adequate pour une ville de notre taille. Il faut laisser les developeur batir plus haut au sud de rene-levesque a lexception du secteur vieux montreal.

Yikes! Why not just replace the office buildings with condo towers or do mixed use like brocolini has??? They would get much more bang for their buck and they could get it off the ground quicker!!

Pas besoin de derogation. Le site est classer 210m +/-
