^ Yeah, it's so terrible to have lots of affordable housing in a dense area near transit and work.  

Yeah, it would be a terrible shame to demolish all of these buildings.  

Wonderful project.  

Hopefully that means that the Saint Laurent frontage will be occupied by commercial space?  

But it is a smart move to put it on Clark.  No parking garage?  

Wonderful building, was crazy to let some private developers take this over and build condos up there.  People will look back on these sorts of deals  will be looked back on with real scorn.  Very sad, no matter how nice it is.  We can't get these buildings back, and we definitely will not build any more along these lines.

Ça va devenir un des blocs les plus densément peuplé de la ville ?

Peterson 250 units + C-Lofts 156 units +  Smith 180 units = 586.  Not bad.  This new one looks like it could add 200 more.  With all the hotels on Sherbrooke plus the Louis Boheme, and new Domtar hotel, the night time pedestrian traffic should be pretty good.  Now if only they would develop this densely in more areas!

Also, this:

No me gusta!

Very nice.  

Oh man, this is a great project.  Could use about 100 of these across the Plateau, minus the parking.  

MacDonalds will go eventually, not many people eat like that anymore.  The more worrying issue is that they killed the second tower!  NO!  

To me, that looks like an office tower, which means it probably won't be built either.  But the FTQ is a serious and surprisingly aggressive player, and I wonder if it might be condos or even rental (please oh please), which would make it likely to go very quickly.  Do we know?

Concordia Campus Annex

No kidding. A real missed opportunity.  

Alors si ils n'ont pas de problème en cette matière, on exige qu'ils en réduisent de quarte stationnements de plus, et qu'ils gardent l'immeuble.   

@MDCD:  Regardez la carte avec ces tracés de stationnement adjacents à la ruelle - ils prevoient remplacer l'immeuble que serait démoli avec 4 stationnements de surface.  Ridicule.

Comment se fait-il que la fameuse ''ligne rose'' qui devait contenir plus d'une vingtaine de stations était évaluée entre 6 et 7G$, et que le prolongement de la ligne bleue qui en conterait entre 2 et 4 soit évaluée à près de 4G$?  N'y a-t-il pas incohérence à quelque part? 

Because the plan presented is completely out of all proportion to costs in even the most expensive cities' subway projects in North America (LA and SF).  The process cannot possibly cost 3.9G, for 5.5km, it's among the most expensive in the world, with only NYC costing more (so, less than London's Crossrail, than any system in Asia, Europe, South America, and North America outside of NYC).  HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?? 

Ah, compris, on détruit ces appartements pour qu'on ne perde pas de stationnements.  

Projet Montréal, please say no.

That video could have been taken from one of my dreams.  Please let this be true.  

^ I panicked about the two residential buildings too, but I think it's this area.  

^ Looks like it came out of Russia or Panama City.  

^ Excellent.  Would be better with no garage at all.

Feu sur Bishop ce matin. Encore de belles victoriennes ravagées. On se croirait dans les années 70. Le peu qu'il reste disparait une à une.

this is heartbreaking

Overall, it looks terrible.  But Montreal needs exactly this sort of cheapish new construction housing that will lose value over time.  

Make it twice as tall, no parking.  

This is a terrible project that should be turned down like a bedspread.    

1. Loses density

2. Bad design

3. Introduces parking space and a parking ingress  

4. Heritage loss

4 février, avant le début de l'excavation récente... et du printemps hâtif! (En fait, depuis quelques années, c'est le printemps immobilier de Mtl !) 

entreposage?
