So Guy street us still blocked at Rene Leveque? It's been closed for almost a year now, when will it open up.

Thanks I am on the syndicate for the condo building across the street and we need to speak to the person in charge of the project and could not find it.

Does anyone know who the developer for the project is? I know Reliance is the construction company, but there is not signs, website, sales info on the project as all. Really weird considering that they started construction and are almost finished the excavation phase, and are not trying to sell any units!

Yah, I did that, we will see. Thanks for the help!

That is why we are trying to discuss with the city, the reality is that the bins would be blocking the whole bike lane as the garbage truck is not going to be carefully placing the bins back in the correct position, they will pick up the bin and place it wherever they can to get to the next bin, so that will either be right on the bike path or directly on the street. And in winter, even worse....currently our snow removal truck will make room for us if the street is not cleared of snow, can't do that with the current plan.

Our garbage bins are the large metal container type, 6 of them, that have to be picked up by a forklift garbage truck, the truck needs direct access to the bins, it can't drive over any bike path barriers or onto the sidewalk to get to the bins, and once empties it currently needs to be placed across the street to get to the next bin.

Not worried about plants, worried about garbage bin placement and hitting a biker....

The plan for William between Guy and Chatham makes no sense, for the block between De seigneur and Chatham. It shows on Page 37 one lane in each direction, then a bike lane in either direction, then the sidewalk. The Le Canal development has their garage opening for 4 buildings on that block, 500 cars going in and out, along with that, it is where we place our garbage and recycling bins( we use up so much space currently, there is no street parking during the week on our side of the street to make room for the garbage bins!) 1. Placing a bike lane in front of a garage opening is going to be very dangerous. We have already put a warning light in either direction when the garage door opens and still it is ignored by people walking and bikes currently. Bikers on bike lane are not going to be looking for cars pulling out of a garage. that is crazy! 2. Where is our building going to place our garbage bins, are we suppose to block the street? Our management company has been trying to get answers from the city(once we learned of the upcoming contruction), with no answers yet and then this gets published.

I believe that is just the Co-op being built , the condo are 2 separate buildings in front of the canal, yet to go up. that is why the windows/quality don't look premium.....

William from Guy west to the end past De Seigneur...

All hydro lines were removed from William this week. *Nice!

I am in the unit closest to the factory. From where I am there is no smell ( 4th floor) and Is dod not know there was a smell problem to be honest, however when they vent steam is sounds like a steam train coming through. First time I heard it I freaked out. At first they vented one a week or so, but lately I only heard anything about once a month, so its getting better. The noise is bad to 30 sec once a month now, unless they re now venting when I am not home. But yah when I realized what was happening I knew there would be a problem with the CO-OP, I can't imagine how bad the sound would be if you are across the street.

The first two floors are going to be commercial space and the 3rd floor will be residential.

To answer your question chaughten, phase 3 will be next to that cement structure. So you have Phase two and a cement structure already built. The cement structure is going to be landscaping between phase 2 and 3. Next to that where that have just started perparing to dig is where they will lay the foundation for phase 3 and 4.

I had only three mods since I am in a first time home buyers unit that are not suppose to be modified to keep the price down. I upgraded to quartz countertops, added the air con and the glass shower panel in the bathroom. Result was very good, I was happy with the result.

Welcome to Le Canal! I am in Phase 1, moved in almost 2 months ago. I can concur that the developer and staff are really professional, I have had a very good experience as well. I quick story just to tell you about the developer. When I was moving in the elevators broke down and I had to wait 2 hrs before the movers could start. That cost me 2 hours of extra movers time. I mentioned it to the building manager and they reimbursed me the 2 hours with 4 days no questions asked. Let me know if you have any questions.

It depends: 1. 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday - There is construction going on both in our building and on phase 2. There is noise but at least from 7 to 8am it has not been that bad. It does not effect me much since I am not home during the day and wake up before 7am anyway and leave by 745am. When I arrive home at 6pm the construction is done for the day. However I am facing downtown and not the back which faces Phase 2, I think its loader for those units. I moved in not expected everything finished it terms of the building( my unit is done 100%), so there have been problems with the elevators, a water leak into one of the elevators on Sunday, and the lockers in the garage are not ready year. I will say that the construction team does react fast. When the water leak happened on Sunday, the building engineer was already on site, working on the problem...guess its to be expected. 2. At night - I am facing the factories on William, there is a low droning sound at night from I believe are the the air con across the street. I am getting use to it but its not dead quiet at night. There is a lot of ambient noise in the area in general.

Hey guys, I actually moved in last week. I use Videotron but the procedure is the same for bell. I had Videotron here on Friday to hook things up. It really does not take long, everything is prewired. They have to go to the telecom room on the 3rd floor then they use the wires that run to the panel /Box Jax described. All wires are already run so they installed my videotron modem in the box directly. I installed my wireless router directly to the videotorn box and left it in the panel. Seems good that way, reached my whole place no problem and I never see the router. Let me know if you have any questions.

When is everyone's move in dates? Mine was scheduled for June 30th. However it will be ready earlier and I have the final notary date set June 18th. I have been trying to get my move in date moved up to make it easier to find a mover at a decent price. June 30th is going to be impossible. Have still not heard back from building manager yet. Frustrating...High quality problem since they are delivering the unit early

I was told that the condo fee for phase one is set. If there are amenities in phase two that an owner from phase one wants access to like the pool, then they would pay extra fees. But if you are only going to use phase one stuff, you don't need to pay extra.

Welcome to the building! What floor you on? I assume you bought in phase one, like I did. Here is the story of the co-op. It was mandatory to build it for the developer get approval for the whole project. Other large projects are building co-ops as well for example Bassin de havre, so given that there will be other co-ops built in Griffintown, I do not see a property value risk. The building is physically attached to Phase 1 on one side. That it it. They have a separate entrance and do not have access to the garage or other condo facilities. I just have my pre-inspection, very happy, the condo is basically done, only a few small items to take care of. I might actually get my unit 2 weeks early!

Detailed shot of the different materials being used, I like the woody detail on the balcony wall

Yes, he even measured the placement of the light pots and plumping to show everything was in the right spot.

First inspection in done, everything was as per spec. The engineer was very friendly, went through everything and took his time. And yes Phil.Do the plastic rings were there! thanks! Hallway: Condo:

Why did you not qualify as a first time buyer to get the affordable unit. I am a first time home buyer as well and I did get a affordable unit, on the 4th floor though, not top floor.
