Just wondering if anyone has pictures of the recladding+expansion that took place in over the years? (here's an interesting article about the most recent modifications)

That building went from:

to this:

Starbucks opening soon

Welcome to Montreal, land of vandals. On the other hand, Seville has absolutely NO street-level personality whatsoever (in line with the Forum), so this was bound to happen.

I feel the name is somewhat clever, but mostly lame. It sounds like a retirement home! But I will definitely take a new building.

Dude on a bike is probably a member here. Stopped and looked at the banner for a while

Note their English catchline... Sky Sweet Home... are they for real?

I'm going to 5000 years for dinner -- I'll beat you to it

Huh! Way to put a spin on some classic point of views...

Oh, that's Rouge? I just got one of their flyers in the mail.

OMG such quality architecture.

Impressive stuff, all kinds of views.

Integration with the Phoenix

Sales office coming up at 130 McGill

Just happened to walk by Queen street after visiting 21e. There was quite a lot of activity on this vacant lot attached to 271 Queen. Here's what it looked like last summer. Anybody?

C'était l'époque de tout pour l'automobile. Il y avait de nombreux projets d'autoroutes, de voies rapides ou de rues élargies qui, heureusement ne se sont pas réalisés.

Ils n'auraient probablement pas assuré plus de fluidité et auraient assurément enlaidi le décor.

The whole video is mandatory watching material for all mtlurb members!!!

I'm super cool with this. Bring on the old folks. Any recladding at all?

Station des Sports still looks like shit. They kicked out all tenants and now they use parts of Fort street as their dumping grounds.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but this is what the Hermine Ventilation Station currently looks like. Expected completion Summer 2014...

Bonus big-ass crane pictures

Superbe immeuble indeed. What a looker.

Montreal graffiti "artists" always one step ahead...

Man this is a deep hole. How many levels of parking, 4??

Go Go ETS. They deserve it! They could have gone to Laval or Longueil but they picked Griffintown and they've certainly done their part in revitalizing the area.

I don't understand one thing (sorry)

Le terrain vague utilisé à des fins de stationnement sera grevé d'une servitude de non construction et sera aménagé en place publique, ouverte à la population montréalaise ;

Does that mean the parking lot will be razed in favor of some park? What does "grevé" mean? Is there an English press release?

There's a big ass Mammoet on site, St-Jacques is blocked. I think the crane is coming down? I'll check it out later today.

Edit: crane not coming down, this might be for some other building instead.

Les travaux avancent t'ils? Ce projet est bien avancé?

What are you asking about?

Quelle institution a les ressources pour construire une tour de 33 etages?

ETS maybe. There's a lot of McGill - ETS partnerships these days.

I don't know if it sucks working outside on a day like today -- or if it's better because the dust doesn't kick up as much.
