SKYMTL

The new location for the Kirkland station is at the bottom of Jean-Yves St. near the south-west corner of Parc des Bénévoles. The original plan had it located near the intersection of St-Charles Blvd. and Highway 40. And a one-level, open commuter parking lot has been replaced by a plan for a multi-level parking facility.

On one hand I'm not quite convinced of the location since the stop near St Charles would have made more sense for the developments they are doing around the old Merck campus. On the other hand......MULTI LEVEL PARKING!!!!!!!!!!! :hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper:

The station at St Anne's needs the same darn thing.

This corner of the city is becoming a microcosm of Montreal's poor urban planning. There is ZERO separation between the buildings since the city clusters "higher", denser zones around single city blocks. Its a huge joke.

AH! I see said the blind man....

At the high side of $0.72/KM traveled, it would cost about $21.60 to travel from Ste Anne to downtown in one direction.

Or am I missing something? Or is that a metric of system costing?

Good for them for holding the government's feet to the fire!

Hello Commerzbank Tower. And again with the nonsensical gardens on a rendering.

But WOW. This is one heck of a project.

That might prove to be cool for Concordia students. Where did you get this info?

 

 

 

Dunno, but either way, I don't think we shall expect much higher than the existing bldg: risk factor. And i wouldn't expect any condo / fancy appts tower to be built less than 15 m from a student appts one, so the next 120 m tower east on R-L shall not be on this plot.

EVO is in the old Delta that that's way more than 15M: http://www.evomontreal.com/student-residence-montreal/

Quelques pages en arrière...

I see a proposal and not a confirmation.

Phase 1 was resolved yesterday lol.

Yeah, and it prompted Phase 3.

where have you been ? it changed a while ago up to 50 stories

Nothing changed until official confirmation. Until then, no one really knows what this will be.

Mark my words, this project won't be built.

Phase one of NIMBY Mentality: Think of the environment! Think of the farmland!

Phase two of NIMBY Mentality: Groups with vested interests in the status quo start running inflammatory ads and parading out "experts" who are contrary to the project.

Phase three of NIMBY Mentality: REM makes the necessary changes but now it will cost up to $1 billion more. The response from NIMBYs: we TOLD you it would be more expensive! BAN THE REM!

Phase four: REM cancelled

Phase five from NIMBY Mentality Handbook: POLLUTION! We need more public transport!

Rinse and repeat.

I'm wondering if buyers in ANY of those buildings were told how close the other structures would be. That's unbelievable.

As someone who owns a drone and has also seen how dangerous they can be, I couldn't be happier with this.

That's some sort of early April Fools joke, right?

Please enlighten us. What exactly do you find incredibly tacky?

Illuminating a structure can be undertaken in a tasteful manner, highlighting the interesting architectural elements. I have absolutely no problem with the ambient lighting but I find the strips to not only detract from a beautiful structure but also add too much "look at me!!!" effect for my liking. It isn't Eiffel Tower tacky but all that's missing is a few strobe lights. I'm of the opinion that a metropolis needs LESS light pollution.

Again, this is my opinion even if it runs contrary to what's popular.

Wow, I must be the only person who still thinks this looks incredibly tacky.

I'm still worried about the look of the 27 floor building. Looks like a bunker....

Pour ceux qui en douteraient encore (je ne sais pas si la personne qui a posé la question est membre ici, mais merci!):

Another example of extremely poor journalism. Proof that they are TRYING to cause controversy.

I can't see it being anywhere other than Toronto.

L'Avenue vs Tour des Canadiens = The Beauty and The Beast

So this is basically across from the Adonis within that run down shopping complex. I don't see any problems with that!

However, calling this a TOD is completely false. Sure, it rests at a popular public transport intersection but the buses that already run down Sauve and L'Acadie are horribly packed already. I mean if you don't have any promises from the STM for boosted service, how is the hipster term TOD even applicable?

Another dead end?

We've seen these "Longueuil Dreams" for 1999, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2020 and now 2035.

Enough already. Until we see shovels in the ground that area of the South Shore will remain a development graveyard.

That was before the new mortgage and purchasing rules were instituted in Vancouver....

What on this structure requires 4 cranes??? 2x for the tower and the extra 2x for the parking structure? Seems like they are in a rush.

Going to be an interesting little mid-rise area with the new 30 floor Reseau Selection going up too: Reseau Selection | Selection Panorama
