    Oy! That's rising FAST. Didn't they make an underground parking space?

    Giotar is the seller of the land. However, I do not believe they are the same Italian investment company as the one you are talking about. The Giotar here in Quebec / Montreal seems to use a different logo and supposedly specializes in land transfers / sales. They have also been brought up in several lawsuits involving what looks like shell companies (9143-6329 Québec inc. and 9063-7661 Québec Inc). that act as intermediaries. That doesn't exactly inspire much confidence...

    Wow. They need this since their planes look ready to fall out of the sky.

    I actually saw the brickwork on Phase 1 going up today. It actually looks better than I originally thought and MUCH better than the renderings look.

    Le Mackay to name one and unless my contacts at the city are completely off, its replacement student housing project (which stands at ~26 floors right now) is also mired in red tape at this point. Not to mention the fact that Le Crystal was also supposed to be ~10 floors higher and in the words of the developer to me at their grand opening: "we didn't want to stir the pot any more than necessary". Developers are afraid of our frankly idiotic limitations and projects have suffered because of it. Whether or not this one will come to pass remains to be seen but if we see a 50+ floor residential tower go up in the downtown core in the next 10 years, I'll eat my hat....as long as you guys provide the salt.

    Why not? There have been several projects within a few hundred meters of this one that were well within regulations but were kiboshed due to the OCPM sticking their noses where it didn't belong.

    The base for the second crane is in the southwest corner of the development. It is there to aide in the construction of the first 11 floors of the podium and will likely then be removed.
  8. SKYMTL
    Don't celebrate too soon folks. This needs to go through endless consultation first, at least minor 4 protests and a good amount of OCPM modification.

    I may have missed it but have the phases really been joined by skywalks as seen in the video?

    In a word: laid! If it wasn't for the few touches of colour, this would look right at home in the Moscow suburbs back in the 80s. The design is boring, shows an utter lack of imagination and is sinfully ugly.

    Typical Globe and Mail trite. Suck readers in with a controversial title and then fail to mention anything really negative about the subject.
  12. SKYMTL
    It will. See above for the almost final rendering....though I wish it wasn't black and white?
  13. SKYMTL
    Did you see the reflection in the top of the rendering? I hope that isn't what the building itself looks like....
  14. SKYMTL
    LOL! Fat chance for that...I don't even think this project was covered by the APCHA.

    Check out Page 16. It shows all of the upcoming projects with their associated heights. I find it odd that Griffintown is left out though... And the reductions detailed later in the document are absolutely ridiculous considering the age we live in.

    2012 will be the Year of the Grey and Black Building.... They haven't even been built yet and I'm already tired of the architecture.

    Évolo 1 - 31 étages (2013)

    SKYMTL a répondu à un sujet de GDS dans Complétés

    Is that really Evolo? The primary extension floor slab thickness looks too thin for a high rise building.
  18. SKYMTL
    Well, the new Casavant will only be installed in 2012 - 2013 so we have a little wait ahead of us to see it "in the flesh".
  19. SKYMTL
    I believe that's a soil sampling machine. Looks like they want to see what's under these buildings before demolition starts.
  20. SKYMTL
    As if we didn't see that coming from a mile away... Those promoters were as shady as they come and yet idiots still bought units from them.
  21. SKYMTL
    70%...pffft. It's because real estate agents are snapping them up to flip for a profit. $100 says we'll see at least 100-200 listings suddenly hit the MLS about a month before completion. My buddy had the fifteenth ticket and lo and behold, a good 40% of the units were already listed as "reserved". Makes me wonder when the real estate board will ever wise up to this practice by their accredited agents.
  22. SKYMTL
    Wow, looks NOTHING like in the renderings. I wonder, can the city fine them for not sticking to what was submitted for permit application? I'd love to see some of these developers get nailed for misrepresenting their god-awful looking projects.

    If Altoria is having issues with NIMBYs, the same people would have a field day if someone proposed 35-40 office floors right down the street...
  24. SKYMTL
    No, we live in Quebec.... My grandfather died due to the lack of quick transportation between the airport and Montreal area hospitals so this subject really, really pisses me off.
  25. SKYMTL
    Phase 1 at 70% last I heard.
