Looks like everyone pulled out on January 1st, the project and plans were removed from sax-1.com.

I checked the website today, only 22% sold so far. It doesn't look like hiring Immobiler McGill made any difference. The sales office is still constantly empty (and closed when it should be open) and the people who work there are completely useless. The website still says 'delivery in 2015', hysterical. Let's see how many people pull out after January 1st.

I guess they're currently doing an advertising blitz in free daily newspapers like 24h and certain websites, there's also a banner ad for it on the top of this page. Regardless, this project has become a bit of a joke amongst people living in the Old Port, from the sabotaging by fire of the building on William and the clueless staff at the sales office. No one is interested in this project with all the other condo options already under construction that don't need to demolish an entire building and go 5 floor down for parking and build from the ground up.

I remember that night, it was about 1:30 AM when I started smelling smoke and within about 5 minutes I saw the reflection of the flames in the windows of the office building across the street. I also called 9-1-1 regarding the fire. I knew exactly what was going on as soon as I saw the flames. Obviously someone made that happen to expedite the process of getting the building condemned to build this new 'sax' project. I do think at that point there weren't any people living in the building (although I'm not sure) but that's still incredibly dangerous as the fire could've easily spread to my building or 50 Soeurs Grises.

I live at 90 Soeurs Grises and my window faces where this proposed building is supposed to be built. Since they announced the project I haven't even seen one person at the site, the sales office on McGill is never open and when it is open it's always empty, and furthermore, the staff at the sales office are not knowledgeable at all regarding the specifics of the new proposed condominium. Also the last post on their facebook page was October 13th, 2013, more than 7 months ago. By the information I got off their website there is only 6.5% of the 167 units that are 'not available' which clearly states that there is little to no interest in this project. There are so many other options for people looking for a condo in and around the Old Port that they can get sooner, as it will probably take AT LEAST a good 3 years (from when they start) to demolish the building, go the proposed 5 storeys down for parking, then build a 10 storey condominium from the ground up, so realistically people will only be able to take delivery 2018-2019 at the earliest. I'm willing to bet this project never comes to fruition, seems like it was mishandled from the beginning.
