NYC seems to have its own version of VLSP https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtfC7_ELTNq/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I agree we need to set a higher standard for taller buildings. For Gothenburg the building is impressive but it is Sweden after all, I’d expect it to be however despite that it is completely out of place there. It reminds me of the super modern black Banque Nationale building in Place d’Armes, impressive building totally out of place in its location. I’m really mixed on height limits in Montreal leaning more towards lifting the highest zones. I can’t honestly see buildings blocking out the mountain, it would take a large number, say 50 200m high buildings to really do that and that’s not going to happen in centuries. I’d rather they just regulate hight limited from the perspective of someone standing on the plaza at PVM and leave that view open forever and let there be at least one or two zone that permits buildings up to 300m or higher. If the restriction is based on the height of the cross on the mountain then another option could be to build a new taller cross and make it more of a tourist attraction in itself with a museum/information center about the cross and a lookout on the cross itself. If it’s a 50 meter high cross then the additional 20 meters height could be the new height limit plus we’d have a new tourist attraction that would give a wider view of the city, maybe a 360 degree view depending where it’s placed. At least it’s something.. being Montreal we could make it 120 meters 😝

Gothenburg Sweden/Suède. Apparently no height limit here. Seems out of place IMO

Yeah seems to be doesn’t it. This one came out of the blue.. if I find out more I’ll update the details. Looks like a simple two story building but I’m not sure what those upwards bars are for, maybe a decorative element.

Another small project I came upon. This one on Rue Sherbrooke next to the El Cid bar and was once a decent Vietnamese restaurant Le Lai, later a sushi place.

The old PFK at 6420 Beaubien has been torn down and a new project is going up. I didn’t find any post on it so I’ll create this one. If there is just remove this and I’ll add the photo to it. looks like a typical commercial project. https://opengovca.com/montreal-building-permit/6420-rue-beaubien-est

Out for a bike ride.. caught the back end of this project.

As an east ended who occasionally went to the West Island in the past I’ve never heard it either. Must be a very local thing.

That’s a pale version of the original design. Looks very ordinary.
