Where did you get that number from? And by actual, do they actually mean "if the student population doubles in the next 15 years we will need XXXXXX extra sq. ft."?
I don't think it should be saved in its entirety at any cost. We are talking about ONE BILLION DOLLARS. Not $150M. Not $350M. We're in Getty Center territory here. Heck, that's what the I.M. Pei renovation of the Louvre cost (in 1989 dollars but still). Besides the Stade Olympique, the Oratoire St-Joseph, a potential baseball stadium that our dear mayor won't stop gushing about (he was chilling in Tampa this weekend btw, hopefully not on the taxpayers' dime) how many more pricy baubles can we afford? Let's be real. We are not the UAE or KSA.

Well, you will be happy because it's not gonna be saved in its entirety, they overall want to reduce the number of floors by 4 and demolish all non-heritage buildings.
Avant de comparer avec le Louvre (en 1989!?...), peut-être qu'on pourrait comparer des pommes avec des pommes. La rénovation de la colline parlementaire a Ottawa qui se terminera en 2020 aura couté plus d'un milliard de dollars.

This is insane! McGill is always complaining that they have to make budget cuts because they have no more money and now they want to build a $1B trophy property on the hill? How much space do they need exactly? You could buy the entirety of PVM for $1B! Tackling the mess that is RVH is insanity. It would be like trying to keep a Ford Model T on the road when you could just lease a Taurus instead. The Ilot Voyageur "gouffre" is nothing compared to this.
And $8M for a étude de faisabilité?? WOW
The actual space deficit of McGill is of 670 806 ft2.
The RVH will be vacated in exactly 6 weeks from now, that's pretty soon. While the RVH is filled with asbestos, and is in a really bad shape, it is also one of the finest and oldest building within Canada, what is your suggestion? Should we just let it rot till demolition?

Une observation qui illustre indirectement ce que j'avance: il me semble voir excessivement peu d'enfants dans ce secteur, contrairement au centre-ville et artères commerciales de n'importe quel quartier les soirs et les weekends. Quand les familles boudent un quartier (avec leur pouvoir économique), ça peut faire mal au porte-feuille des commerçants...
Il y a effectivement peu de famille dans ce coin, loin d'être un fait nouveau.
L'offre commerciale est clairement ailleurs, c'est une niche ultra spécifique.

Le mobilier intérieur fait vraiment pitié. On dirait un Presse Café. Pour une école de mode, c'est raté.
Ha bon, il y a des tables de couture chez Presse Café maintenant, bon à savoir quand j'aurai un bord de pantalons à faire.

"Mais il y a encore plus avec cet immense basilaire qui accueillera entre autres des commerces inédits à Montréal, ainsi qu’un grand restaurant qui pourra livrer directement aux condos. Le Roccabella deviendra un complexe vibrant au centre même de la ville. Il pourra compter sur sa propre clinique médicale et dentaire ainsi que sur d’autres services de proximité." Très hâte de voir de quoi il s'agit!! Ça changera bcp au niveau de la rue.

Ça va vraiment faire du bien à un coin de rue qui aurait pu être abandonné pour longtemps avec sa proximité extrême d'une sortie d'autoroute achalandée.

Looks like its neighbor. Fine by me. Functional and simple.

Tant qu'à moi, la "conservation" est de le poudre aux yeux. On est dans l'esprit de ce qui était là jadis, mais aucune conservation.
On a complètement rasé le terrain, et la petite cabane est déja vide à l'intérieur, et on refera tous les éléments extérieurs de cette hutte de toute façon.

Les unités commencent à trouver des preneurs, 4 vendues à date sur un total de 55. Elles seront prêtes au mois de juillet selon le site de Mondev. Car ce projet de condo ont mis les unités en vente très tard dans le processus de construction, une nette avantage de choisir son unité à peine quelques mois avant d'emménager..

La caserne 26, un édifice patrimonial de 1901, recevra 8, 4 M$ d'investissements pour sa réfection, puisqu'elle a des déficits structurels importants depuis un incendie en 1999. Selon un rapport de 2011, l’indice de vétusté de l’immeuble est très important, soit de 95,1 %. Avec un taux aussi élevé, les risques de bris et de perturbation des activités sont importants.
À l'angle de l'Avenue du Mont-Royal et de la rue Des Érables, C'est l'ancien hôtel-de-ville du village De Lorimier, annexé à Montréal en 1909.

But one of the builder’s most monumental projects is happening on its home turf: Montreal. Canderel has seen “unbelievable success” with the first phase of its Tour Des Canadiens development, the tallest, largest building in the city’s history at 52 storeys, with 550 units.

Je regrette le manque d'imagination et l'absence d'une corniche dans la plupart des nouveau projets.
Un simple jeu avec la brique au niveau des formes ou des couleurs dans les dernières rangées du haut aurait pu éliminer la banalité de ce bâtiment, et on aurait eu une meilleure intégration dans l'environnement selon moi.

Je pense que c'est plus qu'une simple proposition:
UN PROJET DE CENTRE COMMERCIAL CHASSE ERICSSON
LA PRESSE
Les 1800 employés d’Ericsson à Montréal devront bientôt faire leurs boîtes. L’important laboratoire de recherche déménage pour céder la place à un immense projet de centre commercial à l’intersection des autoroutes Décarie et Métropolitaine.
Le promoteur Carbonleo, à l’origine du projet DIX30, a confirmé hier par voie de communiqué « son intérêt à développer un projet urbain multifonctionnel et novateur, localisé dans le quadrant sud-ouest de l’échangeur Décarie ».
Bien que l’entreprise affirme que l’étendue exacte de la zone et de nombreux autres détails soient toujours « en phase préliminaire de planification », le projet a déjà incité l’un des plus importants employeurs en technologie de l’information de la grande région métropolitaine, Ericsson Canada, à transporter ses pénates plus à l’est.
La Presse Affaires a en effet appris que l’entreprise prévoit emménager au début de 2017 dans un édifice qu’elle fera construire à quelques kilomètres de là, à l’intersection du boulevard Poirier et de l’autoroute 40, dans l’arrondissement de Saint-Laurent.
Selon une porte-parole de l’entreprise, Patricia MacLean, la décision de déménager est récente et n’a pas été imposée.
« Nous avons choisi de déménager. Cela nous permettra d’employer les aménagements de bureaux conçus par l’entreprise et de mieux utiliser l’espace », a-t-elle indiqué.
Ericsson était locataire des immeubles qu’elle occupait le long du boulevard Décarie.
Il s’agira d’un deuxième projet de construction d’importance pour Ericsson dans la région métropolitaine. L’entreprise a déjà investi 350 millions dans la construction d’un immense centre d’essai à Vaudreuil, en banlieue ouest. La fin de la construction de celui-ci est prévue pour l’automne prochain.

Happily. The desire to have a 50+ story emblematic tower in Montreal is directly related to market conditions in this city. Ultimately somebody needs to see a business case and a huge financial upside for this to be done. La pensee magique 101.
I am wondering if the AC stands for Air Canada, the ambiance/work environment is very toxic/negative over there, where ppl keep living in the past (CP era). Also, this isn't the political section of the forum, that's annoying.

Gare Viger
dans Complétés
A long neglected and derelict part of Old Montreal could rise again as a thriving hub of the city with a $250-million development project to restore the grand château-style Gare-hôtel Viger and develop almost seven acres of the old city.
As part of the three-phase project in eastern Old Montreal, new buildings will also house condos, rental units, shops, markets and offices, covering more than 1 million square feet.
“It’s a significant piece of land,” said Anthony O’Brien, senior managing director for the development firm, Jesta Group, noting its size, history and location in Old Montreal on the waterfront.
“It’s got tremendous potential, but also great responsibility to do the right thing,” he said.
“The right thing is respecting the heritage and history of the site, through modern architecture and modern uses.”
The jewel of the property, no doubt, is the hotel, built in 1898 for Canadian Pacific by Bruce Price, the architect also responsible for the imposing Château Frontenac in Quebec City, the original Banff Springs Hotel at Lake Louise and Windsor Station in Montreal.
The Gare-hôtel Viger “forms part of the Canadian identity of the time,” said Edward Hercun, in-house architect for the developers, and a specialist in heritage and sustainable design.
Set within the original fortified city, the heritage building and its immediate vicinity is likely unique in all of North America, Hercun said, in that it was home to three generations of train stations.
“The city is in the process of rebuilding an urban identity that was destroyed when the train tracks were installed by Canadian Pacific,” Hercun said.
Now in full reconstruction-restoration mode, the building held a train station on its ground floor, which in 1912 moved to adjacent Gare Berri, now home to Jesta offices and part of the 150,000 square feet being developed under Phase 1. The first rail station was Gare Dalhousie, just to the south, whose building still exists and is home to Cirque Éloize.
Jesta Group is a family-held private equity firm, with hotel, residential and office holdings in North America and Europe. It also has an apparel business technology division, also headquartered in Gare Berri. Jesta bought the land in 2011 for about $27 million and said it has invested another $20 million so far. Family members Stephanie and Eric Aintabi are active in the day-to-day affairs of the project; O’Brien and his father, Phil, are shareholders in the Viger development.
It is the O’Brien family’s second bid to develop the hotel and area: O’Brien senior was president of the Viger Limited Partnership, which bought the property in 2006 but abandoned its plans with the recession of 2008. The partnership included Homburg Invest Inc. of Halifax, Telemedia Enterprises Inc. of Montreal and SNS Property Finance of Holland.
“This is a rather good story,” said Heritage Montreal policy director Dinu Bumbaru. “We have a landmark building, we have somebody who is engaged and committed to bring it back to life.”
The first tenants for the hotel include LightSpeed, a mobile retail application developer scheduled to move into 38,000 square feet in April, followed in August by Coalision, whose Lolë active wear brand is booming, and Brasseur de Montréal, a Griffintown microbrewery and restaurant. A marketplace is also planned for the Berri building.
Bernard Mariette, president and CEO of Coalision, announced the move from Longueuil headquarters as a chance to give the company “a stunning window on the world and a dynamic place from which to expand its reach into international markets.”
If there is a blight or controversy to the project, it is the setting, architects and heritage authorities agree. St-Antoine and Viger Sts. serve the Ville Marie Expressway, with traffic and asphalt king.
“Unfortunately, this area has been totally, totally massacred by roads and engineers who believe car circulation is the most important aspect of urban living, which it is not,” Hercun said.
Additionally, historic Viger Square, which fronts the château building, is dissected by Berri and St-Hubert Sts. into three sections above the expressway. A controversial concrete sculpture on the west of the square, designed in 1976 by Charles Daudelin, is among the issues.

“This site is a combination of an eyesore and a wasteland right adjacent to one of the nicest neighbourhoods in the city, which is Old Montreal,” Hercun said. He also suggests that train stations are not people-friendly in that the track side creates a barrier.
“Now that all the trains are gone, hopefully we’ll manage to create urban life. And once that happens all the neighbourhoods on the eastern end will finally be connected to Old Montreal.”
Hercun compares the current development to the World Trade Centre, completed in 1992 ago in a similar sort of wasteland on the northwest of Old Montreal. At the time, much of Old Montreal was desolate, but that changed once people started to work in the area.
“As a result, Old Montreal is a very active, vibrant and not just tourist neighbourhood,” Hercun said.
As an associate of Arcop at the time, he was involved as project architect for the Power Corporation headquarters and Canada Steamship Lines buildings, located near the World Trade Centre. Phil O’Brien, as president of Devencore Inc., was the key developer behind the World Trade Centre.
Heritage Montreal points to the issues with Viger Square, calling its “urban environment inhospitable and dominated by traffic on streets serving the expressway.” It points to a “public rejection” of the square but maintains Daudelin’s Agora is threatened unfairly with demolition.
Bumbaru said the Agora, on the western section, could be “surgically” modified with some openings at ground level, while the “introverted” central section should be opened up, removing the surrounding walls and embankment to bring the square level to the surrounding sidewalks.
That would recreate the link between the heritage hotel, the square and the building at the corner of St-Hubert and Viger, a handsome Beaux Arts building now housing Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec, Bumbaru points out.
Anthony O’Brien said the most important factor is safe access between the CHUM and the development through the square, “which is not a safe place for nursing staff that starts a shift at 3 in the morning.”
“We’re very sensitive to the artistic heritage of the existing park, but feel there are significant safety issues that need to be addressed,” O’Brien said.
That square was once a lovely public space, with ponds and trees and strolling gentry, an attractive gathering place in the east of the city, according to architect Pascal Letourneau of DFS Architecture and Design, which is charged with restoring and securing the envelope of the building — the windows and roof.
Unfortunately, he said, the “magnificent era” lasted only about 30 years, as the hotel closed in 1935, a victim of the Depression.
“We think we have an architectural and patrimonial jewel,” Letourneau said. “which is located in a no man’s land,” he added.
But with CHUM, the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, set to open just to the west in 2016, the projects around the building and plans by the city for re-landscaping and covering remaining open sections of the expressway, in 10 or 15 years, “it will be completely different, like it was 100 years ago,” Letourneau said.
Indeed, that is the vision of the developers, who see a thriving neighbourhood growing up around the square and landmark buildings.
Subsequent phases of the development involve new construction and the demolition of a 1970s building on the eastern part of the site, now used for CHUM construction offices, with approvals pending from the city’s urbanism department and Quebec’s Ministry of Culture, O’Brien said. Approval for the global master plan should take about six months, he said, with specific construction permits to follow. Existing zoning allows for buildings of up to 60 metres, or about 18 storeys, in height, with setbacks.
Phase 2, with construction planned to start in late 2015 or early 2016, would provide 200,000 square feet of retail and office space and 300,000 of residential units, while Phase 3 plans are for 400,000 square feet, plans for which have not been made public. That would likely start in 2017, O’Brien said, permits and market permitting. About 1,300 parking spaces are planned.
A good proportion of the housing will be rental units, with a view to micro units and an eye on the 3,000 nurses who will work at the CHUM.
“The elephant in the room is the new CHUM,” O’Brien said, pointing out the super hospital that is rising will employ 12,000 people as of April 2016.
He points to the other plusses of the location: 180 metres from the Champs de Mars metro station, a block and half from a Ville Marie Expressway exit, a potential new CBC building to rise to the east of Old Montreal, and the nearby bike paths, with the city’s main north-south bike artery on Berri St.
So it is highly accessible by foot, bike, car and metro, O’Brien said: “That justifies the retail component. Because you have great visibility, great location and new population growth in the area.”
On the residential front, he points to the Faubourg Québec, the Solano and Héritage condo developments facing the river to the east, as high-end, successful projects whose dwellers have access to few services.
And at the front door, O’Brien said, the waterfront, beach, marina, skating rink, science centre and all the Old Port has to offer.
The new businesses have come for the lifestyle, so their employees can enjoy the area on their lunch breaks. And they ask about bike storage — it’s the new generation, he says.
“It’s a great environment, not just for tourism, but for Montrealers, as well.”
In the end, O’Brien said, the heritage buildings will only represent 10 per cent of the project.
“So the key is to ensure that the new construction is not overbearing on the heritage, but rather it celebrates it — and to make sure the site is anchored by the château and it ties everything together.”

J'aime l'effet des formes, plutôt original selon moi! Quoiqu'il y a un rappel du projet le Rubic, mais en plus petit, selon la vidéo il s'agirait donc d'une nouvelle chaîne Éco-friendly avec entre autre de l'énergie solaire et un toit vert, et de grandes chambres. Remarquez aussi que le premier étage contient des éléments, dont les fenêtres rondes, du bâtiment actuellement en place.
