That's right. -
Wait, so there's still work that needs to be done? They're not finished?

During the North American economic booms of the 80s and 90s (which Montreal totally missed out on, by the way), developers were already doing very well at preserving historical architecture and respecting zoning and building codes. Montreal is not lucky for having experienced economic turmoil during much of the late 20th century.

Quebec Tries to Say Au Revoir to ‘Hi,’ and Hello to ‘Bonjour’
chris a répondu à un sujet de IluvMTL dans L'actualité
LOL -
Yes very true, thank you for the correction.
-
I am pro this development... I just don't use development as an excuse to give more money to the government.
-
The government doesn't need more money. If it needs/wants more money, it needs to prove that it can better manage the funds it already has before I even think/consider giving it more.

It's hard to give a name of a hotel chain before the hotel piece itself is approved for construction. Basically, major hotels like Holiday Inn, Marriott, Sheraton, Hilton, etc are all franchises. Someone would need to invest in opening up a hotel of one of those chains. At this point I'm going to assume that someone either hasn't decided to invest in opening up a hotel yet, or they have but haven't decided which brand they would open. With that being said, a hotel of this size and in this part of the city would probably be a "flagship" brand hotel such as Holiday Inn, Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, etc or a more budget/classic brand such as "Courtyard" or "Hilton Garden Inn". The Luxury Hotels and Boutique Hotels are usually reserved for the downtowns or very touristy areas.

I would agree - you're not really hungry unless you've been lost in the Sahara without food or water for a week.

No worries!

My comments weren't specifically directed to you.

LOL Firstly, the city of Montreal doesn't need more revenue...it needs to better manage the money it already has and collects. More money to our local government is rarely a good thing - better management of it always is. Secondly, the potential loss of jobs at Rockland would be more than offset by the creation of new jobs at Royalmount. Seriously, who stops a new development because of the "potential" loss of jobs somewhere else? In addition, if Rockland were to become a relic of the past, who said that's a bad thing? Jobs will be created in new locations. Stores will open up in new locations. Seriously, who came up with this notion that everything needs to stay the same? If Rockland became a relic of the past, they can tear it down and build housing on top of it. There's already a shortage of housing in the center of the Island of Montreal. An increase in supply can moderate housing/living costs, to the benefit of literally anyone looking for decent housing. Thirdly, pollution...well...if you're inferring that development should be stopped because of "pollution" (and what do you mean by that exactly? Do you mean the creation of more pollution? Do you mean the spreading of pollution from one area to another?)...then I guess we can all go back to living in trees and caves. This thread and the comments I am reading on it are very amusing. Keep it going guys!

I sincerely do not understand the opposition to this project.

Concordia GM Building - 11 étages
chris a répondu à un sujet de Alexcaban dans Projets oubliés et/ou en suspens
The look of the GM and Hall Buildings are nothing to write home about...I would much rather see them renovate or reclad those buildings then keep them the way they are now. -
Spirit Airlines to launch Plattsburgh flights to Fort Lauderdale and Myrtle Beach
chris a répondu à un sujet de chris dans L'actualité
Prices out of Plattsburgh and Burlington are so cheap compared to Montreal-Trudeau, it's no wonder these 'US Montreal Airports' are doing so well. Another attractive aspect of flying out of Plattsburgh or Burlington is the fact that these are relatively small airports with absolutely no delays or wait times due to security checks, customs, etc. Plattsburgh International Airport is only one hour from downtown Montreal (not taking into account the wait at the border). If marketed properly, Montrealers are going to flock to Plattsburgh to catch their flights to Florida or wherever. -

Good point Habsfan, however... 1) Northeastern US cities (New York, Boston, Philadelphia) tend to have large Puerto Rican/Latin American populations...perhaps Spanish would be more useful in everyday life over there. 2) The US has been improving and increasing their ties to Latin American countries for a while now, i.e. Mexico and Colombia. Sure, France and Canada have always had a close relationship with the USA, but there are more Spanish-speaking Mexicans in Mexico than there are French-speaking people in France and Canada combined! And we're not even including the millions of other spanish-speaking people in Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, etc. For our Hemisphere, Spanish would have to be more dominant than French. 3) Americans are more likely to travel to destinations such as Tijuana (#1 Destination for Americans), Cancun, Punta Cana or Cabo San Lucas than they are to Montreal, Quebec City or even Paris! 4) Finally, what other Francophone nations, besides Canada and France, does the US have close ties with? I can't really think of any! Is it unfortunate? Look, the more languages you know, the better. But whether you know English and Spanish, English and French, German and Spanish or French and German, it's all the same to me. Personally, I think French is one of the most useful languages in the world.

Montreal. Rio de Janeiro. Totally agree with these two.
