    Damn it.

    Brasserie Molson

    SKYMTL a répondu à un sujet de Boosterfire dans Complétés

    3 million square feet can be built upwards as well with the new bottling line technology. However, what Molson has now would need to be kept so quick access to logistics. The corner of Dickson and Notre Dame would make sense but Notre Dame is a freaking mess already with all the Port traffic.

    Those damn windows again! Everywhere in Griffintown, and now in Laval.

    Another thing that Bombardier touches which turns to crap. Hopefully the folks running the REM makes the right decision and keep Bombardier as far away as possible from their project.

    C'mon guys! It's not to late to demolish the disaster that's Jardins Windsor! Who is with me!? I'll supply the shovels and hard hats.

    Nice project provided that's actually glass running vertically.

    How to devalue condos 101. Those folks in Louis Boheme can't be happy.

    I always wondered why they kept these guys on when they obviously had a robust presence with the local TSN sports guys.

    Teo has kept their livery but added a "Bonjour" on the side of their cars. It looks great IMO.

    Up from last year. Which is a shock given how poor F1's attendance has been this season (12% down on average from last year).

    I'd like to know who is behind this smear campaign. Obviously a lot of money has gone into it, and it is particularly telling that almost identical articles show up in publications simultaneously.

    I was talking to one of my friends who works at the city planning office. Supposedly while the Blue Bonnets redevelopment will factor heavily into the planning, there's no indication there will be additional discussions or traffic studies involving the impact or even existence of Carbonleo's Royalmount project. That's super worrying IMO.

    The mess continues. 10 years at the earliest and more announcements of more studies.

    I love this project! It is so quintessentially Montreal! Why worry about construction detours when you can build a main artery extension with a detour already in place!? One that will SURELY cause traffic chaos. Can you feel the sarcasm? I mean what kind of idiocy is this proposal? Are you kidding me? I'm hoping this was one dated from the 80's....
  15. SKYMTL
    Oh yes, the democratic process. I wish NIMBY's would stop using that as an excuse to hold up projects. I mean just look an Cavendish.....

    Question: why not bring forward Phase 2 sales right away so both towers can be built in parallel and not extend the inconvenience of staggered building phases?

    We can complain all we want but who is trying to make a difference? Personally I wrote a letter to the borough councilor about situations like this last year. Did any of you guys? Takes about as long as posting on this forum....

    Article from the Gazette. Seems the REM is already generating business development. Zodiac aerospace specifically mentioned it as one of their motives for taking over the old Tenaquip building: http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/west-island-gazette/ste-annes-lands-aerospace-giant-in-industrial-park Where's trainsparence now??

    Add in others like the HomeAway / VRBO group, Flipkey and the folks who advertise on TripAdvisor and its possible that fully 3/4 of the building was bought for short term rentals. I mean it makes sense in an odd way. Less rights than tenants, make enough money in 10 occupied days than a tenant would be paying every month, spotty government regulation......its a no brainer. Its a perfect storm here actually. Overpriced downtown hotels, low property prices and a city tourists love. Compare that with something like Toronto where property prices are so high and hotel rates have a slight sense of equilibrium and suddenly people would have to list their AirBnB properties at rates higher than a typical hotel to turn a profit. Meanwhile, here you can put your $400K condo up for short term rental at $200 a night and still turn a hefty profit with only 15 nights a month booked. Add in that those same properties seem to be going for about $350+ a night during Grand Prix, Just for Laughs and the Jazz Fest and suddenly listing on a vacation service seems mighty interesting.

    I know I will be downvoted for this but..... That 3D shows just how out of proportion these buildings are with their surroundings. They either need to have more architectural significance / better design than the junk Griffingtown Greige they currently have or the project should be scaled back to offer a more unified scale.
  21. SKYMTL
    YES!!

    Annnnnnd.....this is the walled garden / private fiefdom idiocy the agglomeration process should have solved. My God the ignorance of Montreal mayors knows no bounds. Of COURSE it is in your best interest to coordinate with your neighbors.

    I'm a bit confused about what this is all about. While the strike positions of other unions (Police, Fire, Ambulance, etc.) are usually quite clear, I have to say this one is a bit murky for me. On the radio they've taken out ads saying "this week I have custody of my child, I deserve time off" and "I need time with my family but my boss says I need to come in to work". Seems like these are issues pretty much every 9-5 non-unionized worker has to deal with on a daily basis. If paid time off equality (or some form thereof) is requested, I think there's a pretty straightforward solution: abolish the Construction Holiday and replace that with 10 days of standard vacation.

    I may have missed it but when will the tower be going up? It looks like that's required for interfacing with larger cruise ships.

    After Turcot, Bonaventure and the Champlain Bridge, I don't think the traffic situation in this city can handle another megaproject.....
