    OK now THAT'S scary to see. Looks like Jenga; one wrong move and the entire tower falls.

    That's about the saddest pool I've ever seen. More like a wading pool and no handicap access....this would NEVER pass approval in other cities.

    Was there one of those agent-only sales a few weeks ago for Phase 1? Basically it allows real estate agents to get first dibs on units and they then flip them with a markup. That markup increases as units artificially "sell out". Guess it "sold out".

    I was watching an episode of B1M where they covered Marriott's new approach of factory-building modular components for their hotels in Poland and then shipping them to North America since construction costs here have risen something like 30% since 2013 due to a lack of skilled labor and build time increased by 50%. You can see the video here: https://www.theb1m.com/video/the-worlds-tallest-modular-hotel Really fascinating.

    Idiotic. Just because there's land available doesn't mean you need to think one dimensionally. Those 333 places should have been put in a multi-level car park, not spread all across one level.

    This is 110% true. There's a fundamental lack of understanding or at the very least a huge amount of denial about how absolutely atrocious public transport is in the West Island. Multi level paid access parking garages should be included in the plan for all the stops west of Sources.

    Of course it was. 🤢🤢🤢🤢

    Expos de Montréal

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

    So would that be the Montreal Rays or the Tampa Bay Expos? Personally I think this is a great idea if only to prove that a lot of people TALK about wanting the Expos back but very few will actually GO to regular games. IMO, this idea for a half and half team is doomed to failure since maintaining a fan base will be impossible.

    Every time I drive by it I'm amazed until I get to the main tower. It looks terribly unfinished and 3rd world with the raw concrete.
  10. SKYMTL
    OMG......🤦‍♂️
  11. SKYMTL
    Completely understand. I'll make sure to remind you of "contemporary art" when taggers use that as a blank canvas for their own version of "contemporary art".
  12. SKYMTL
    All of your examples back up onto a structure. Not into dead space.
  13. SKYMTL
    That looks absolutely ridiculous.

    It seems like whenever architects want to disguise the colors / materials of their buildings they use sunset / night renders. It'll be interesting to see if they clad in something like Alpolic, especially since the construction of the exterior would then have to be concrete which is then clad in aluminum composite.

    Griffintown Grey once again. Looks like even Techo-Bloc sees the trend in Montreal: https://www.techo-bloc.com/shop/masonry/griffintown/ That's what folks think of when they think of Griffintown (and now Montreal in general) architecture. Not young, hip and cool. Nope. Grey. Fifty shades of grey.

    After a DECADE of that embarrassment (not to mention how dangerous that whole area is) we still get this? What in the world.....it shows up on their planning docs too so its not just a little rendering error. 🙄🙄 There is an absolute disconnect here between the expansion of PET, the amount of traffic, safety and the final layout.

    Autoroute 19

    Every week, yes.

    Autoroute 19

    SKYMTL a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans Infrastructures

    Its still another "highway to nowhere". Funneling more traffic onto Papineau causes yet more traffic on an already congested artery.

    Broccolini: We are building the HIGHEST residential tower in Montreal! Brivia: Hold my beer Honestly though, from a prestige standpoint, the Square Philips address can't be beat IMO.
  20. SKYMTL
    Looks like a support truck for core drilling equipment.
  21. SKYMTL
    The overhead track structure construction seems to have started at Fairview even before the pylons are in place. They're MASSIVE.
  22. SKYMTL
    Where do I start? The Farmers' Union lobbied the metropolitan board: https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/off-island-gazette/kramberger-vaudreuil-soulanges-hospital-plans-rightfully-forge-ahead The land in question isn't even farmable. Expropriations were underway. The 2011 zoning is ridiculously out of date and out of touch with current regional realities. Any other land acquisition would need to go through the same process (it took three years this time)
  23. SKYMTL
    As someone who lives in the region, this is getting to be ridiculous. Lives are at stake here; with the extreme overcrowding at Lakeshore and Suroit (200%+ on a daily basis), the only option is Hawkesbury. Politicking while the residents are suffering alongside inflation means the cost has gradually increased to pretty astronomical levels. There is no "perfect" location for this thing but giving in to every lobbying group means it will be in limbo for another decade. That's just unacceptable.

    Personally I think its an eyesore and I'm one of the most anti-NIMBY people around. But this thing is like having a two inch pimple on the butt of a supermodel. Even if its temporary this is an abortion of monumental proportion and basically sticks a middle finger up at one of Montreal's most beautiful locations. I mean of all the architectural designs possible, WHY a knock off version of the Luxor? /end rant

    The land around Fairview Pointe Claire (the parking lot between the old Sears and Reno Depot) will be converted into an expanded mall / residential complex between now and 2030 with the Reno Depot being demolished. The first step will be to demolish the Sears and build Simons in time for 2022. The initial city proposal can be found here (PDF): http://www.pointe-claire.ca/content/uploads/2016/05/Chapitre-4-Le-centre-ville_EN-projet.pdf
