    yeah, very unusual in montreal to see such a building enlarement.
  2. orages lointains
    wonderful !

    answering my own question - the commercial component remains. very strange that it's reached by stairs off the street. also, the short podium looks very functional here, basically to capture 2 stories of square footage that would have been lost if the entire building were setback from the street. look carefully, the ground floor entrances are flush with the building above the podium. here's what the building looks like without the podium, with the same stairs. another interesting note: 20 units remain for sale in the drummond. 4/172 units on floors 1-19, 16/39 units on floors 20-25. the next building (drummond ii) has learned this lesson. 210 units, but the project will be 23 stories (not 25 as drummond i) and it will include no ground floor residential component (drummond i included ~3800 square feet of residential in the ground floor). so, an identical number of units in a building with 2.5 fewer floors: each unit in drummond ii will be smaller, less expensive. this is perhaps why the drummond ii has already sold 43/210 units.

    should label it 'brossard' so that montreal people don't accidentally follow it.
  5. orages lointains
    huh? why does it have stairs off the street? is there no commercial component?? townhomes??

    I believe SNC's building sale includes a longterm leaseback provision.

    i really really hope that steve's music is successful at this location for many many years. thanks for the photo.

    ^ that's the best guess, this is probably a through lot?

    looks like a giant data center. i love it. will definitely age very well, in the sense that it will represent the moment perfectly, much better than the mcgill hospital, which feels like it should have been built in atlanta or something.

    So it's topped out. One thing that everyone must realize is that the QdS is truly Montreal's architectural showcase "neighborhood." Very exciting to imagine what the new MAC design will bring.

    on aime bien qu'il n'ya pas d'entrée au stationnement par la rue.

    the image featured is viewed from clark street, the one i quoted is viewed from the main. i believe that the hotel owners are developing the project.

    the project from the front

    ^ also, the cost of every residential unit will increase!
  16. orages lointains
    yeah, and the best bet is that blank wall will loom for decades.

    i'm still annoyed that the hotel de la montagne was torn down. and i don't like that the lovely holt renfrew block on sherbrooke will be abandoned. but i guess overall this will be quite the structure once it's up, and it's much better than the original plan, which would have taken down half of crescent street. if only this thing could have been built on the parking lot across the street instead of on the site of the hotel de la montagne.

    it's not a smear campaign. look at what they're saying: all construction within 1.5km of a REM station will be obliged to pay the REM administration a TOD fee. that would include all of griffintown and most of downtown. there would be something in it IF there was some advantage for the people living downtown but there isn't, the REM is predominantly a line to bring suburbans into the center. this is a major problem and the promoters are correct to demand a change in the law. @rusty - there's no similar charge for the line in vancouver. in fact, the line in vancouver is better in many ways. (1) after 30 years, ownership of the line reverts to the public; (2) no TOD value capture at all; (3) the line is built inside cities and not along highways, making it 10x more useful; (4) it is seamlessly integrated into their metro system, with an identical pricing structure; (5) it added new infrastructure and connections instead of taking that infrastructure away (AMT trains orphaned at TMR).

    la ligne diagonale, le REM, les prolongements pour la ligne bleue dans les deux sens (vers ndg/montreal west ainsi que vers anjou), et un prolongement de la ligne jaune vers mcgill, and now we're cooking

    save the beautiful deco building fronting the square, demolish everything else. rebuilt with good architecture and not this cheap dreck. there's no reason the entire neighborhood has to look like the seville project.

    Alors, c'est confirmé que le basilaire sera contruit dès la première phase?

    from the parvis on sainte-cath, looking south: the new place pasteur looking west, from inside the judith jasmin pavillon

    thanks for the updated photo. it's nice not to have that empty lot/loading bay there any more, but the architecture really does feel vaguely evil - it looks *exactly* like a building that holds a bank's credit card division. i guess with the saks shop doing so much to fix the bay building, much will depend on how that car agency site turns out, whenever a building is proposed there. and if that church park is every built. and if candarel ever builds on that enormous phillips square lot. still, it's very nice to see a building there.

    this project just serves to remind the world how stupid it is to build that park/promenade on clark street, between sainte cath and maisonneuve. showcase the read of the police station and a bunch of other garbage? also, the area already has too much park - it's more public space than building, particularly if the habitations jeanne mance are included. say no!
