Pretty much mid rise

Phase 4 already 40% sold - this project moved pretty quick.

http://www.fahey.ca Afin de rehausser les bénéfices de cette infrastructure de transport en commun structurante, le propriétaire du terrain a mandaté Fahey et associés pour concevoir un quartier mixte de type Transit Oriented Development (TOD) autour de cette gare.

Well - the land is still owned by CP and any construction would have disrupted the train service. Plus - they dissolved themselves of a real estate arm by selling off Marathon and with so many free and under used lots in Montreal, financially it totally nonviable, the tracks aren't even covered in Toronto and the going rate per sqfoot there is almost double. The tracks were already buried for the construction of the CN Headquarters and the QueenE and the financial failure over the last 4 decades of Place Bonaventure is probably not going to convince anyone.

Montreal doesn't use air rights, a lot owner cannot sell their right to build to someone else. Lots are zoned with a height limit and have a density ratio.

Does anyone else find it looks like the Quebecor tower?

La densification du secteur de la Savanne continue http://applicatif.ville.montreal.qc.ca/som-fr/pdf_avis/pdfav29114.pdf

It hard to tell because the angle has changed - but the top looks slightly different from Lemay

They've added some more renderings - i won't post them all since there are close to 30

Phase IV

Looks like this has been bumped up to 17 storeys COMITÉ CONSULTATIF D’URBANISME 16 avril 2020 3001808094 4.7.1 Objet : SURHAUTEUR Endroit : 1190-1208, rue Drummond Responsables : Étienne Longtin, Sébastien Aumais et Bruno Collin Description : La demande vise à autoriser la construction d’un bâtiment mixtecomportant un total de 17 étages (62,1 m hors tout), un rez-de-chaussée commercial et 145 logements de diverses typologies aux étages (27 % de studios, 37 % de 1 chambre, 26 % de 2 chambres et 10 % de 3 chambres). Une aire de stationnement pour automobile de 32 unités, dont 6 de petites dimensions, est prévue au sous-sol et un total de 56 unités de stationnement pour vélo est fourni. Ce projet aurait une densité de 6 et un taux d’implantation de 80,9 %.

Parlant de nuance, ce n’est pas avec un dictionnaire qu’on comprend la nuance d’une langue. Hideous en anglais et beaucoup plus familier que hideux l’est en français. Certainement que nous avons tous droit à nos opinions, comme trouvez mon commentaire exagérer est une opinion valide. J’ai quand même contextualisé avec référence a un architecte the renom d’où le style et passé date, mais il y a clairement inspiration (voulu ou non). Je persiste, la proposition ressemble à un design 1965 Uno Prii avec matériel Hotel Montville.

Looks hideous to me - it reminds me on a Uno Prii design from the mid 60's. I know there is a building that looks really similar to this already, but I can't place it because I have been confined for 90 days. Red brick and beige base I think.

Projet apprové ar le conseil d’arrondissement

Its WestCliff Group - it will be 50 years before these are built, along with 5 design changes.

Seems like the Square Victoria site, but the proposal must be ~2014 and before as Altoria and U3 are missing from the reflection

District Union: réinventer la vie de quartier https://www.ledevoir.com/contenu-commandite/575783/district-union-reinventer-la-vie-de-quartier

^ Yorkdale is a good example - where there were a large number of stores that were Canadian firsts. Though they already exist in Montreal area, you could expect things like Sporting Life and Zara Home Maybe stores that are not currently stand alone here like Burberry or Dyson Hopefully things like a CheeseCake Factory and Disney Store which would be new None of which would be advantaged by being downtown

Le stationnement souterrain génère un revenu grandement superieur au taxes

Smart Pixel marketing

CN just liberated 75,000 square feet of space. A new office tower seems unlikely. On top of that - the proposal from Cominar is just marketing to generate interest in the property - they are hedged and and looking to unload. BMO could be an anchor tenant - but if we are talking a 200 meter zoned lot - that would be a build on a lot of speculation as depending on the floor plate, they would need 10-15 floors assuming they bring in Nesbitt Burns.
