    just a quick update. the building is about half demolished. A drawing of the project is up it looks like a podium with 2 towers a 10 or 12 storey and a 15 to 20 storey next to it. Pharmaprix as an anchor tenant in the podium. I'll try to get some photos..St.Leo is hot!!The Mach Group...I think it's part of the Saputo family??

    Finally the huge crappy industrial building on the southeast side of Jarry and Viau is either going down or it'll be part of a large redevelopment!! The block is completely fenced in and the walls are being stripped and all the insides are being gutted..Let's hope for the first 20+ storey tower for the east end...the project belongs to the very deep pocketed Saputo clan and their associates.

    I don't know if this is already on the Mtlurb but here we go. Leblanc + Turcotte + Spooner Win Montréal Bus Shelter Competition Posted: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 | The Mayor of Montréal, Gérald Tremblay, accompanied by the Chairman of the Board of the Société de transport de Montréal (STM), Michel Labrecque, and the Executive Committee member responsible for Culture, Heritage and the Status of Women, Helen Fotopulos, has unveiled the winning concept in the city bus shelter design competition, submitted by the consortium Leblanc + Turcotte + Spooner. The competition was for the design of a new bus shelter incorporating various elements including an advertising poster frame, a bench and a solar power system. The STM plans to have 400 new shelters built for installation all across its network, gradually replacing the current models and responding to new needs. How long is it gonna take for those x7!¢0&?6+8!1/ Scratchitti idiots to ply their lunacy???

    AN HONEST QUESTION FROM A REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY OUTSIDER HABSFAN: Why are Colliers and others more optimistic than you and some other people involved in the industry?? Colliers International |MONTREAL The Knowledge Report OFFICE | FIRST QUAUARTER | 2010 Sunnier skies ahead for Montreal off ice market The global credit crisis set in 18 months ago, and we are now seeing positive signs that support the notion that an economic recovery is underway. Chief among these signs is the refreshing overall positive net absorption posted over this 1st quarter of 2010 in the Greater Montreal Area (GMA); after several consecutive quarters in the red, the Montreal office market added 105,583 square feet of occupied space to its inventory this quarter, thanks in large part to especially sturdy performances by the West Island and Old Montreal submarkets. Going into the recession, the downtown office market was very tight, with a 4.8 % vacancy rate; despite the delivery of 860,000 square feet of new space in the Centre-West submarket for Bell Canada, which consolidated all of its Montreal operations in Verdun, the overall Downtown market vacancy rate remains quite low at 6.9%, and the average asking rental rate sits at $13.68 per square foot. The suburban office market continued its trend of moderate positive growth this quarter, boosting its occupied space by 34,310 square feet and witnessing a corresponding 0.1% dip in its vacancy rate (which closed the quarter at 9.0%). The real story, though, is that this quarter, for the first time since the effects of the recession began to make themselves felt, the Downtown market (which includes Old Montreal) outperformed the suburban market on all fronts. In the 4th quarter of 2009, the Downtown market was responsible for 83% of the GMA’s total negative net absorption; this quarter, it was responsible for nearly 68% of the GMA’s overall positive net absorption. As we enter 2010, therefore, absorption and rental rates are both trending upward—if only slightly—across the board. Supply considerations: sublets and new developments Total available sublease space in the GMA increased by 26,815 square feet this quarter, while the increase in total sublease space that is actually vacant rose by just over 20,000 square feet. The overall net increase in available and vacant sublease space is due to an expanding offering in the suburbs; the downtown sublet market actually shrank by more than 16,000 square feet. The GMA-wide proportion of available sublease space that is actually vacant sits at just over 31%, but this could change over the long term: over 60% of sublets downtown have less than two years of remaining term, while 75% of these terms are up in the next three years. FORECAST Although there are more alternatives for tenants today as a result of the Bell relocation and the recession, we anticipate a quick tightening of the market by late 2010/early 2011 with accompanying increase in rents. These conditions begin to look favourable for new construction in the downtown core, but we also believe there are good alternatives that are shelf-ready to accommodate users seeking to maintain or reduce costs despite the fact that the market is tightening (for example, the Chabanel redevelopment by PSP-Dayan, and 5800 St-Denis). DOWNTOWN The Downtown market started 2010 off on the right foot, registering its first overall positive net absorption in several quarters. Occupied space in this market shot up by 71,273 square feet over the first quarter, due chiefly to the Old Montreal submarket’s strong performance. While over the 4th quarter of 2009, this submarket was second only to the Downtown Core in the loss of occupied space, this quarter it led the way among Downtown sectors in positive absorption, adding 51,340 square feet of occupied space to its inventory. Once again, the Downtown Core posted the least encouraging numbers—shedding 8,279 of occupied space—but this time around, it was the only Downtown submarket to experience negative net absorption. The Downtown East sector continued its trend of modest positive absorption, with 22,172 of occupied space coming online over the first quarter of the year, while the Downtown West sector pulled itself out of the hole to register 6,040 square feet of freshly occupied space. Whereas at the close of the last quarter of 2009, the Downtown East submarket was the only one whose vacancy rate was moving in the right direction, at the close of the 1st quarter of the new year, the situation is reversed: only the Downtown Core’s vacancy rate increased, and only by 0.1%. The drops in vacancy rates across the three other Downtown sectors were more significant than this slim increase, ranging from 0.3% to 0.7%. Given the relative volume of the Downtown Core’s inventory, however, only 0.2% was shaved from the Downtown Market’s overall vacancy rate, which closed the quarter at 6.9%. As is to be expected during the early stages of a recovery, rents have stabilized and landlords are still cautious but we expect increased upward pressure on rents as landlords become more confident that economic expansion is sustainable. The Downtown sublease market tightened even more throughout the 1st quarter, with its vacant space dipping from 229,071 to 212,733 square feet, resulting in a 0.1% decrease in the vacancy rate, which closed the quarter at 0.4%. The Downtown East and West sectors are largely responsible for this trend, with combined vacant sublease space in these submarkets decreasing by more than 20,000 square feet.

    Hey guys maybe some hope ...just recently (August 6,2010) on the Sqare Foot Site.... Check out the video. Sorry I could not locate the original thread for this project... Place University St-Jacques, a strategic location Strategically located, Place University St-Jacques is one of the largest available land sites in downtown Montreal's Quartier International, with a surface area of 140,000 sq.ft. The site provides a sought after University Street address. Gary E. Polachek and Richard Poirier of Magil Laurentian explain the advantages of this development project. It is an ideal location for a build-to-suit, two-phased office or mixed-use complex, offering the possibility of large floor plates of more than 50,000 sq.ft. and a potential of 1.7 million sq.ft. of gross rentable area. on August 6, 2010 http://www.thesquarefoot.ca/content/news/100806/Place-University-St-Jacques--a-strategic-location :stirthepot::stirthepot:

    I wonder how these 2 companies end up with different #'s. Are they using different criteria??? CanaData says 10.3% and Colliers is at 9.2%...Habsfan If we talk about Class A does that mean about a 1.2% DIFFERENCE which represents about 250,000 to 300,000 square feet?? That's a 25 to 30 storey building for Pete's Sake!!!!!...Why the difference in stats?? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COLLIERS Marché de bureaux de Montréal : actualités By Colliers: Downtown vacancy rate is at 11.6% with 10.8% in class A in Greater Montreal, vacancy rate is at 11.8% with 10.3% in class A. Check attachment for more details. ................................................................. CanaData In Montreal the office vacancy rate increased from 9.1% to 9.2%, its highest level since the third quarter of 2007.

    July 28, 2010 Economic Snapshot Office vacancy rates hit five-year high, despite uptick in office jobs JOHN CLINKARD consulting economist, CanaData The national office vacancy rate reached 9% in the second quarter of 2010, continuing a trend that started in the fourth quarter of 2008. This rate was up from 8.8% in the first quarter and was its highest level since the second quarter of 2005. According to the most recent numbers from Cushman & Wakefield, the increase was largely due to the addition of 1.5 million square feet of new supply. And it occurred despite the fact that 911,800 square feet of space were absorbed in the quarter. The office vacancy rate retreated slightly in Calgary (from 13.4% to 13.3%) and Winnipeg (from 9.3% to 9.0%) but increased in the remaining eight major metro areas. Among the 10 largest census metro areas, St John’s, N.L. had the lowest office vacancy rate in the country (5.5%), despite a significant decline in office-based employment over the past year. Ottawa recorded the second lowest office vacancy rate (6.6%) due in large part to a strong (+7.6% year over year) increase in office-based employment in the second quarter. Other major metro areas with below (national) average vacancy rates in the second quarter included: Saint John, N.B. (7.9%), Toronto (8.1%), and Vancouver (8.4%). In Montreal the office vacancy rate increased from 9.1% to 9.2%, its highest level since the third quarter of 2007. The office vacancy rate for the 10 largest metro areas in Canada is now at its highest level in five years, and year-to-date commercial building permits are down by 3.5% year over year in May. As such, the near-term outlook for new office construction is quite guarded. The outlook is further clouded by the concerns about the health of the U.S./global recovery. Having said this, the relative strength of office-based employment in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver continues to point to a pickup in office construction late in 2010 or early in 2011. John Clinkard has over 30 years’ experience as an economist in international, national and regional research and analysis with leading financial institutions and media outlets in Canada. :(:(

    Updated: Thu Jul. 15 2010 12:19:12 PM ctvmontreal.ca After years of study and debate, and threats to leave, the Shriners are committing to build a new hospital in Montreal. Details of the project were unveiled to the public Thursday morning, after final details were worked out last week at the Shriners International meeting. Ralph Semb of Shriners International says one issue has been securing the funding to build a new hospital. "There were money issues obviously," said Semb. "We have to make sure we're doing the right thing." "Now we have a great partnership and we're looking forward to working with McGill." To build the hospital, the Shriners will be asking for community donations to make up a funding shortfall. "We've never actually had to have a mortgage on any of our properties," said Semb. "We're going to look for about $23 million from the community here." The new hospital in the Glen Yards, adjacent to the MUHC superhospital, will be much larger than the current 89,000 sq. ft. building on Cedar Ave. It will have 22 single-patient rooms dedicated to children, take up 173,000 sq. ft, and its research centre will be expanded from 15,000 to 25,000 sq. ft. For patients like Nathalie Cinman, who has been going to the Shriners for decades, news that construction will actually begin soon is great. "I'm really excited for the future of the children," said Cinman. :goodvibes:
