    In what alternate reality did the Montreal film festival compare to Cannes? The WFF never targeted Hollywood style movies while the TIFF always did. Despite that, attendance at the WFF is usually more then in Toronto. For Int'l Film Festivals, very few compare in success to Montreal.

    Olympic Stadium in Montreal is one of the few stadiums left from that era, when multisports facilities where thought to be a better design. There are some places that are in similar positions as us. The Houston Astrodome (1976) is in a very similar situation to us, except that they have Reliant Stadium that was built in 2003 so they don't have to maintain it as a sports / exhibition hall. Minneapolis is still using the MetroDome (1982) but the Twins have moved into Target Field. Detroit's Pontiac SilverDome (1975) closed in 2006 but recently reopened as a big event venue, it will most likely be demolised though. New Orleans Superdome (1967) is getting 320 million in renovations on top of the 200 million that was spent to restore the stadium after Katrina, they still have the Saints obviously.

    MONTREAL, June 22 /CNW Telbec/ - The head office of Astral Media Inc. (TSX: ACM.A/ACM.B) now boasts a new address at 1800 McGill College Avenue. Astral-one of Canada's largest media companies-also shares its name with this office building that has been part of Montréalers' lives since 1989 and now becomes Maison Astral. Over 400 of the 2,800 Astral employees will occupy many of the building's floors, including Corporate Department employees, as well as a large portion of its French-television team and Sales Department employees. "Our company was founded in Montréal nearly 50 years ago and we take great pride in helping to make our city one of the country's economic and cultural drivers.

    Idéalement, oui c’est ca la fonction de l’OCPM. Mais en réalité il y définitivement un biais dans la rédaction de leur rapport. Ce n’est définitivement pas un résumé de l’audience publique. Je ne pense pas que les rapports de l’OCPM reflet la pensé de la plus part des Montréalais, mais plutôt des voix fortes qui se présente. De plus, quand il y a des voix qui s’opposent, leur pensé n’est pas recueillie ni retenue.

    According to the drawing, the original exit for the 15-S from the 40-O will still exist

    The lot is owned by Cadillac Fairview now and is part of the proposed new train station airport link. I had posted a picture of the proposed project from the 80's in the never built section, it was called 750 Peel.

    The orangy "towers" are part of the proposal.

    Thats pretty expensive actually - Toronto waterfront condos (like City Place)near the Rogers Center are going for less per sqft with ~400$ monthly in condo fees and way more ammenities (squash and tennis courts etc..)

    Non - c'est juste que le site pour Zuni est tres large.

    C'est plus connu comme "The Big 5" car le National n'est pas dans la même classe. Il est 50% plus petit que la CIBC, 75% plus petit que la Royale. La Laurentienne est vraiment petite. La National est 6x plus gros. Les operations canadienne de banques int'l comme HSBC et MBNA (Bank of America) sont plus gros que la Laurentienne.

    Anyone wanna bet that this site will be abandoned for the next 25 years and the historic building on the site will rot away. Cue the retard parade.

    Broccolini wins two tenders for LEED Gold office towers from the federal government Canada NewsWire MONTREAL, May 7 MONTREAL, May 7 /CNW Telbec/ - Broccolini, a recognized leader in the Canadian construction industry for over sixty years, has recently won two major tenders from the federal government to construct two LEED® Gold office towers, with work slated to begin in late summer. The firm has been awarded the contract to design, develop and build these towers totalling more than 900,000 rentable sq. ft. of Class A office space for the Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) in Gatineau, Quebec. Having successfully developed TELUS House, a 9-storey, Class A, 160,000 sq. ft. LEED® Silver certified office building in Ottawa, and with Export Development Canada's (EDC) 575,000 sq. ft. headquarters under construction, the new mandates confirm Broccolini's significant position in development and construction in the National Capital area. The new buildings will provide space for federal government departments and organizations and will attain LEED® Gold certification. This represents the tenth time that Broccolini will have delivered a LEED® certified project to the marketplace. "We are very proud to have won the mandate for these groundbreaking projects," said Anthony Broccolini, Managing Director at Broccolini. "We believe it reflects our reputation for strong development and construction capabilities, as well as the quality of the work we've previously undertaken in the Ottawa market." The 12-storey, 484,000 sq. ft. office tower, located on Carrière Boulevard in Gatineau, features architecture promoting a healthy balance between efficient planning and the preservation and restoration of natural green space. It will enhance the site's attractions, taking advantage of the extensive mature tree coverage and superb view overlooking Lac Leamy. The building's timeless architecture and cutting-edge technology will be an eye-catching reflection of Broccolini's environmental commitment, as well as its ongoing concern for the quality of its developments. The second building, a 15-storey, 690,000 sq. ft office tower, will overlook Promenade du Portage Street in the heart of downtown Gatineau, adjacent to the PWGSC's existing premises. With architecture combining heritage features and high-tech efficiency, its design will allow the building to optimize the usage of space while restoring and improving a significant element of the city's urban fabric, at the same time incorporating PWGSC's existing facilities. The know-how, experience and passion for development and construction, cornerstones of the company's success, were no doubt major factors in the decision to award the mandate to the firm. With a pristine litigation record and an enviable reputation for integrity, quality of work and flexibility, Broccolini has demonstrated its ability to deliver similar signature properties to the market. "We have major experience in a wide range of projects from office buildings and manufacturing facilities to big box stores and industrial complexes," explained Mr. Broccolini. "Our team is enthusiastic and welcomes the challenges of delivering these exciting and demanding projects on time and on budget."

    ^ That's what I had thought - so we can scrap this Ecocite thread and put it in cancelled. And add this one above to the petit projet de merde section.

    Ce projet remplace Écocité sur le Bois, qui a été annulé ********************* Are we sure this is the right website and name? or are the towers a distant future phase?

    Westmount needs you! With this mailing, we are appealing to your civic duty. We need your input on the most important project the City of Westmount has put forward in its long history: the rebuilding of the Westmount arena and pool. Council would like to proceed with this project, but only if a majority of taxpayers is behind it. It is your money, after all, that will help pay for it. I shall not pretend that the history of this rebuilding project so far has been a smooth one. Mind you, nor was the struggle to restore and expand the Westmount Library in the 1990s, but it was a project most citizens became very proud of. Your Council feels this same success can be repeated with the arena/pool project. But only if it is a rallying point and not a focus of division and rancour. There were two separate designs suggested for the arena/pool project by the previous Council during 2009. A great deal of work went into these proposals, but they received mixed reviews in a series of public meetings. The whole of Westmount, however, was never canvassed. The new Council, since its election in November 2009, has been working on ways to address the objections raised by citizens to the prior proposals. Objectors fell into two broad camps: people in the neighbourhood saw the new arena as a massive intrusion, a wall 30 feet high by 500 feet long from St Catherine Street to de Maisonneuve, jutting into Westmount Park; meanwhile, the pool itself ate up precious green space. For the rest of Westmount, concerns had more to do with the cost: do we really need to go from one-and-one-half to two rinks? Why can’t we just fix up the existing arena? Others felt we needed an indoor pool more than a replication of our current sports mix. The cost concerns were substantially mitigated by the crowning achievement of my predecessor Mayor Karin Marks: she managed, by dint of incredible perseverance - and the help of Jacques Chagnon, our local MNA - to get $20 million of infrastructure grants for the project. It is Canada’s and Quebec’s contribution that allows us to build a $37 million arena/pool complex that will cost Westmounters $17 million. In fact, the cost to taxpayers will probably be closer to $12 million, thanks to contributions from Westmount schools, foundations, and private donors. This cost translates into an additional $200 a year in taxes for the average single-family dwelling. What about the neighbours and the sheer bulk of the arena? Well, if we had to describe the essence of our city, we would surely be torn between invoking Westmount’s unique architectural heritage and Westmount’s prized greenspace. This Council wants a project that respects both. We want the park to win the battle between it and the arena. We do not wish to plunk a massive piece of architecture down in an established greenspace. So we have gone underground. Council’s plan is to bury the ice rinks, putting tennis courts and grass on top of them - creating the ultimate green roof. Skylights will bring in natural light. Only the entrance pavilion and Teen Centre will be above-ground. more pics and full desc. http://www.westmount.org/pdf_files/ArenaPool_Proposal.pdf
