    I think you proved my point though. Multinationals can't put all their eggs in one basket for a variety of reasons. Neither can Bombardier.
  2. SKYMTL
    Bombardier needs Downsview with or without federal money. Much like Airbus and Boeing are spread across the EU and the USA respectively, no large Fortune 500 company can centralize production like that.
  3. SKYMTL
    The job cuts have nothing to do with Bombardier's aircraft division; they're focused on the rail division. Nearly 2500 of those cuts will be here in Quebec.

    And then everyone complains when their municipal taxes go through the roof. Developments like this allow for a broader tax base.
  5. SKYMTL
    The ironic thing is that now local residents are complaining about the noise of demolition work and the influx of 500+ employees. I swear these idiots will never be placated....

    Ahhhhh. Merci!

    My guess is you didn't see the complaint logged by the writers union and Conseil de presse du Québec. http://www.csn.qc.ca/web/csn/communique/-/ap/comm29-01-2016_LaPresse?p_p_state=maximized#.VrNMs5dEN8E Quite a bit of La Presse+'s articles are, in fact, paid advertisement pieces for companies and special interest groups.

    Rona has been struggling massively in these last few years and, if anything, this purchase will likely lead to more jobs being created here even if they do end up closing the head office. The purchase of Rona gives Lowes access to an additional and robust Quebec-based supplier network. That network will likely start reaping the benefits of the low Canadian dollar as large American companies like Lowes and Home Depot focus their purchasing power towards Canada. Based upon their balance sheets, Rona likely wouldn't have lasted another decade before serious "restructuring". Better to be bought up than go the way of other retailers like Liz Claiborne, Style Exchange, Jacob, etc....all of who had their head offices here but are now gone due to a lack of overseas or local investments. I'm still struggling to understand why folks are comparing this to the Rio Tinto / Alcan deal though. There are virtually no similarities. I see this as a win / win unlike the purchase years ago of La Senza by Victoria's Secret / Cerberus Capital. In that situation the writing was on the wall that jobs would be abolished.

    You guys do realize La Presse+ is the advertorial side of the publication, right? In other words the articles there are sponsored advertisements.

    How like Montreal, Canada and Quebec. NOTHING proactive; only reactive. Of course now they're involved once the structure is almost falling and the media is raising holy hell over it.

    Montréal du futur

    SKYMTL a répondu à un sujet de IluvMTL dans L'actualité

    ".......we are just looking for tenants" And the sky is blue and tomorrow, the sun will rise. Jesus, how idiotic is that guy's statement? If there would be tenants lining up for all these projects, Montreal would look like Toronto by now.....but there aren't a huge number of NEW tenants actively looking (other than inter-urban relocations) for large square footage.

    I heard that people who put $5000 security deposits for higher floors that weren't in the original design (ie: 39+) have been contacted via email. The email supposedly says the developer will not be using them as the tower will remain as-is despite city approvals. Hopefully someone else can confirm since I'm still waiting for proof of this email.

    Its a Best Western. How many different ways are there to render precast concrete panels?
  14. SKYMTL
    Yup. The cooler voices had no say in this one. Absolutely against the democratic process....
  15. SKYMTL
    Someone needs to update this thread title. The building is 39 floors high, not 37.....

    WeWork should be expanding into Griffintown. Their co-working environment isn't exactly well-suited for the PVM crowd.

    And The Gazette is giving it more legitimacy on the Anglo side.

    I hate to say this but if publications like The Gazette would avoid these click-bait articles and not give page time to small-minded individuals who are still stuck in the 60's, folks like PK Subban wouldn't be "dragged into" these ridiculous debates. Writing an article like they did simply legitimizes otherwise-meaningless drivel.

    Unfortunately, it is a broker-oriented paid application from EV which shows local unit availability for investors. I'm not sure about the copyright terms so I'll hold off posting screenshots for the time being.
  20. SKYMTL
    I just looked on my dashboard and it seems like more than 50% of the units are being sold through two brokers: Rai Hansrani and Jolly Deol / Step 2 Real Estate. They are listed as still available with the latest update being this morning at 10AM. It could very well be that 10% is all that's available at the sales office.
  21. SKYMTL
    I heard it wasn't selling close to projected numbers. Hence they had to offer a generous discount ($25K) last week.

    A microcosm of why development in this province lags behind the rest of Canada. Wow....

    I was at the meeting. A group of us were successful in completely shutting down every one of the nonsensical points brought up by the petition-handlers. We actually had a half dozen people completely remove themselves from the petition right there at the meeting since the people who went door to door presenting the petition completely misrepresented the project. After a resident requested that councillors explain their rationales That would be me. Our study shows an increase that will be approximately 900 vehicles during peak hours This was shot down by another member of our group since it completely misrepresents facts once again. The supposed 900 vehicles would be traveling in different directions (ie: 600 vehicles into the business area + 300 vehicles traveling out from the residential zone) and would be spread over completely different times. Essentially, there is a large number of the YIMBY (yes, in my back yard) residents onboard with this one and we're going to fight just as hard to get this project approved as the folks who are trying to scuttle it.

    Bethesda actually bought a local studio and will be expanding it under their name. Current number of employees = 40. They are now looking to double their team's size.

    This should be moved into Approved. http://montrealgazette.com/business/local-business/tod-quartier-near-dix30-in-brossard-gets-1-billion-investment Brossard has agreed to chip in for infrastructure elements and will begin on the overpass in spring. Devimco is doing this without the involvement of Carbonleo (thank God!).
