    Jack Layton 1950-2011

    rufus96 a répondu à un sujet de monctezuma dans L'actualité

    Wow. I was shocked when I heard. I mean, everybody knew he was ill, but he had this spirit to him, this aura, that he just couldn't be defeated. He brought something new to politics. An optimism and an energy that seems to be increasingly rare in what seems to be an increasingly cynical national forum. For that reason, regardless of one's voting intentions, this was a loss for many. It should be interesting to see what the fallout from this brings...

    Bell : actualités

    rufus96 a répondu à un sujet de Philippe dans L'actualité

    Je trouve l'article assez alarmiste. Ceci a été la cas, il y a deux ou trois ans (accompagné d'un autre tel article). Pendant ce temps, comme nous savons tous, Bell a construit un nouveau siege social ici. L'article mentionne qu'aucun haut dirigeant s'est etabli à Montreal, depuis 2008. Maintenant Tom Little cherche une résidence ici. C'est de mauvaises nouvelles ca? This is old news, just respun. The real news will be if/when the HQ actually leaves.

    Je pense qu'on verra jamais une tour de 150-180m sur ce site. Le zonage au long de la rue Ste. Catherine permet les hauteurs d'environ 40-80m, ce qui explique l'effet "escalier" de quelques immeubles, incluant ce nouveau rendu.

    This is fantastic! Really nice point of entry to the Sherbrooke St. canyon, from the east/great culmination to the Sherbrooke St. canyon, from the west. ^ Agreed. I'm thrilled that they're preserving the existing building. Thanks for sharing, GDS!
  5. rufus96
    Il me semble que le projet est assez serieux. Cela dit, si CF decide de construire une tour, au lieu de deux, peut-être qu'ils augmentera le nombre d'étages? I mean, if the site is zoned for maximum height, and CF is confident in the project, wouldn't it make sense, if they decided to go with only one tower? Just speculation...

    Si on le compare avec l'autre projet du même genre, de Cadillac Fairview, les condominiums de Maple Leaf Square à Toronto (186m, 54 étages à 3.44m/étage), on aura une tour de 172m!

    ^ I definitely agree, regarding the Cadillac-Fairview towers. This is basically the first development of its kind (with regards to scale and appearance) that we may see in this city. What would bother me is if it became the norm and we saw 50 of these towers scrunched together, as in Toronto or Vancouver. As long as we maintain some sort of variety, I'll be happy to see these towers rise into our skyline.

    I guess the 10 storey office building they're referring to is the office portion of Altoria. It seems to fit the description.

    Il y a aussi le reglement qui impose un hauteur minimale de 120m à cet endroit, si je ne me trompe pas. Si jamais ces "tours" seront contruites, on verra bien si le reglement subira un effrondrement.

    Belles photos, JFrosty! Experimenting with some HDR today:

    Most of downtown is already about 20m above sea-level, so the 232.5m limit actually limits buildings to about 210-215m max. Le 1000, 1250 R.-L, PVM etc. are already pretty close to their respective height limits, given the elevation of the land on which they are built on. My guess is, if something were built at ~215m, on this site, it wouldn't really dominate the skyline. It would probably appear as tall as Le 1000, viewed from the south, and maybe as tall as 1250 R.-L, viewed from the west. I'm wondering if it would be possible to swing a 225-240m building, if the promoter promised parks/incentives for the city.

    Le centre de Francfort a été presque totalement détruit lors du deuxieme guerre mondiale, et ils ont du reconstruire leur C-V en entier. C'est un des raisons pourquoi ils n'ont pas le densité/masse qui characterise la plupart des villes Européens ou Nord-Americaines (les villes Nord-Americaines qui sont relativement vieux, comparé aux autres villes du N-A).
  14. rufus96
    Yep, picture is tagged as Westmount. Nonetheless, that's not my point. All I'm saying is that many streets such as St. Laurent used to have bilingual signage, which may be, in part, why many older anglophones and older anglophone institutions sometimes use anglophone street names/translations.
  15. rufus96
    To be fair, it's not a complete butchery of street names on the part of old-timer anglophones, when they make a translation, simply because many of these streets were at one time, bilingual. Many many years ago, some street signs were bilingual- St.Laurent/St. Lawrence. I couldn't find a picture of that one, but I did come across one of our beloved Ste-Catherine: -by christopher dewolf on flickr

    This development, as it stands, while not that tall, would still be a big skyline-changer. Prime positioning. Just imagine if these were built along with something significant on the 1300 R.-L site!

    Toronto continues to spread its web of global influence.

    N'oublions pas le projet potentiel d'un nouveau gare de Cadillac Fairview, qui pourrait avoir une tour, au-dessus de le courtyard du Gare Windsor. Ce dernier est zoné pour l'hauteur maximale!

    I was walking along Sherbrooke last night and noticed some equipment, near the site. I'm not too sure was it was- it looked like a small wrecking ball crane. Either way, it looks like there may be some activity. Can anyone confirm this?
  21. rufus96
    I just passed by. The crane is up!!!

    ^ Un vrai canyon d'immeubles, à la Montrealaise!
  23. rufus96
    Selon moi, l'Altitude sera visible le long de PVM avec un hauteur d'un peu moins haut que la Tour Telus (peut-être jusqu'a la limite des ses fenêtres), de ce point de vue.
  24. rufus96
    ^ La limite est de 232.5m au dessus du niveau de la mer (la hauteur de la montagne, ce qui est pris relative au niveau de la mer). Alors c'est fort possible que PVM a déja atteint notre fameux limite, ou la manque de 5-10m.
  25. rufus96
    Est-ce qu'il avait quelque chose annoncant la construction ou meme un locataire?
