J'ai vu un visuel.

They just put up a new render on the fence this morning. Maybe you could compare. New machinery on site, at least 20 workers. Looks like this got kicked into high gear!

Back structure is coming in. Compare with my June picture.

[ATTACH]10409[/ATTACH]Voila tout ce qui reste.

I'm really curious to know what this used to be back in the day and what it's being used for today. That's the wall to the Pub Victoria terasse, and I think the Lofts Victoria owners have a terasse on top of that thing. But what's inside??!

Anyway much like what happened to Pitstop in Griffintown, it's quite obvious that construction of 685 Saint-Maurice won't be kind to this structure. It's already looking like ruins and it'll only get worse. Some of those stones look ready to fall on someone's head.

Ikea was at the current Winners location.

Why would a high end condo project want to be associated with Canadian tire ? do they plan to open a McDonalds as well

This was in reference to the original post:

* Loblaws, Canadian Tire et Starbucks seront locataires des commerces du RDC

Didn't think about it this way

Syfy’s newest original scripted series Helix from Sony Pictures Television began production this past weekend in Montreal, Canada.

I think they were setting up on Avenue-Des-Canadiens yesterday at 5PM. I saw no-parking signs with HELIX on them and teamsters emptying a truck in front of St-Hubert BBQ. They might still be there this morning.

Well that's a useless comment without pics

And that's a pretty sad attitute on mtlurb in general. It's too bad people here are so incredulous. Or is SKYMTL a known liar?

The first Canadian Tire Express store opened today in Toronto. I wonder if that's the concept they'll bring to L'Avenue?

lol, comment ce fils s'est ramassé ici???

 

Ici et ailleurs -> USA - Mexico - América Latina

Wow -- I don't know. I always google: "mtlurb project-name", so I had not noticed the bizarre section.

I wonder if these office trailers have anything to do with the old Planetarium remodeling? On the other hand there was some light excavation on Notre-Dame at Cathedral.

August 1st 2013. Nothing special, but I'll try and do a before-after with this picture. Sign says "December 2013".

Almost nothing left!!!! Just a single column standing up. Montreal's one and only sliver!

one of murals is painted (if you can call it that) by a vandal who goes by the name of NIXON

Nice find. I wish I could catch one of these douchebag toys in the act one day!

I agree. I'm 30, target market for sure, young professional, working in Old Montreal, looking to buy a place in the near future...not interested in this hipster, graffiti marketing approach. It's wack.

They're not going to convince me the area or project is "cool" by doing ghetto parking lot parties.

Same here (on all accounts actually!!!)

Recouvrir l’autoroute coûterait 10 fois moins cher

L’aspirant maire de Montréal, Richard Bergeron, croit pouvoir recouvrir l’autoroute Ville-Marie en 10 ans et ce, pour un coût dix fois moins élevé que ce que la dernière étude gouvernementale prévoyait.

 

Le chef de Projet Montréal calcule qu’il serait possible de recouvrir «la balafre» urbaine que représente l’autoroute au centre-ville pour aussi peu que 50 à 75 millions $. Une étude de faisabilité réalisée en 2006 parlait plutôt de 500 millions $.

 

«Le 500 millions $ c'est un chiffre d’avant la commission Charbonneau. C’était dans le temps où les firmes de génie-conseil considéraient qu’ils avaient le droit de piger directement dans les coffres de la Ville», a-t-il indiqué.

 

Le parti Vision Montréal souhaite lui aussi voir un jour l’autoroute recouverte. Toutefois, le maire de l’arrondissement Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Réal Ménard, pense que les coûts envisagés par ses adversaires politiques sont sous-estimés.

 

«Monsieur Bergeron fait parfois de la comptabilité créatrice», a commenté Réal Ménard.

 

Le candidat dans Ville-Marie pour l’Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal, Philippe Schnobb, estime pour sa part que le temps presse.

 

«Il ne faut pas attendre que tout soit ficelé, sinon on va attendre jusqu’au 450e anniversaire de Montréal (2092)», a-t-il lancé à la blague.

So now we have both Philippe Couillard and Richard Bergeron including the 720 coverup on their platform.

IMHO Odds it'll happen? Slim to none.

At this rate the structure will be completely torn down by the end of the week!!

A new sign on the door says:

"80% sold, demolition soon"

I'm really happy they preserved and restored that top cornice. I'll be supporting this food court.

J'aimais bien Chien Chaud Victoire!

They're just across the street now.

Peut-être même depuis son ouverture

Disagreed. I think it was quite classy in the '70s. In fact you can tell they are going back to their roots with this "new" style.
