orages lointains

i thinks it's a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

mettons le stade au-dessus de la ville-marie entre le CHUM et le palais des congrès. oui: rebâtir cette tranche de l'ancien centreville, localiser le nouveau stade à côté d'une station de métro, revitaliser un coin beaucoup moins chaud plus orienté vers le spectacle que le griffintown, terrain gratuit. non: not cheap to build, la circulation...

ouaouh, c'est assez horrifiant.

will the sainte anne REM station be located at/near the current train station?

^ no way, the density is great. hopefully, this dense construction occurs on the other side of bleury too, all the way to the UQAM campus. you may be forgetting that, in addition to all the extra units on the market (higher supply = lower rents), these decidedly non-luxe apartments are more affordable by design. you personally may not want to live there for lack of view or light, but many people will want to because it's cheaper than a place with a view and ample light.

je ne comprends toujours pas pourquoi parfois les gens qui prennent le temps de prendre un cliché et de le télécharger ne prennent pas les quelques petites secondes de plus pour assurer qu'il soit visualisable. etk, les infos alors c'est que rien ne se passe enfin. too bad...

le locatif deviens de plus en plus commun, surtout chez des logements voué aux étudiants.

alors, on sait déjà comment la tarification va marcher au centre-ville? aurait-on besoin de payer pour faire une correspondance entre le REM au centre-ville et le métro? par exemple, se rendre au centre-ville du marché jean-talon par la ligne blue et le REM, ça ferait deux tarifs?

moi, ce que je boude le plus c'est la morte indigne du prolongement de la ligne jaune... imagine si le REM aurait contruit la station mcgill en anticipation d'une connection éventuelle à la ligne jaune

saving the deco hospital wing is the most important part, the building heights are fine.

i agree with trent that the beautiful deco building that forms the heart of the hospital should be preserved.

a good compromise would be to restrict the project to only the buildings fronting l'église but allow them to build 2 stories taller.

excellent news.

if the forum can hold out a few more years, the volume of residents is set to increase dramatically. the major project will be to reconfigure the interior to revive the property so that it's a residential hub as well as a destination. look at the faubourg today compared with 10 years ago, what a change. exterior renovations to the forum would be nice, particularly if they made it look like the old forum, but it's an important addition to the neighborhood, so demolition isn't a great idea, imo. the cinema alone! i wonder how much better the building would fare if it were connected underground to the metro station/alexis nihon.

wow, that's something of a scoop. the beginning of the end? if the project collapses, one assumes that the south shore link to bonaventure station will still be built.

for sales of the condo portion, i wonder if they're re-use frank catania's small lot across the street.

two questions: 1) this is still being built by middle easterners? 2) this is still hotel and rental appartments? if so, it's very likely that we are witnessing the beginning of construction. and if we are witnessing the beginning of construction. realize that means within this 4 block area, it's two more towers, to add to the 8 under construction or completed, 2 more approved, and 3 proposed.

^ pauvre compréhension du rôle de la caisse. it's a money making business, even if it's the retirement fund. et ils peuvent vendre le tout projet dès qu'ils décident de changer de positions.

Sabia, ouasch Selon le programme actuel: 1. Par contre à la situation à Vancouver, le REM ne sera jamais livré au public, il demeurera toujours un propriété appartenant au CRPQ Infra ou ceux auxquels ils livrent ou vendent leurs droits d'exploitation. 2. Cela veut dire que leur donner le tunnel et les rails représent un transfer du public au privé. 3. Un transfer du public au privé de ce genre n'est intéressant que s'il nous donne quelque chose d'intéressant en retour. 4. Selon ces critères, ce deal est elle intéressante? C'est là où le tout devrait se jouer, en ce qui concerne nos analyses du projet proposé. Un contract qui a pour effet un siphonnage vampiric du budget de l'ARTM pour toujours, cela devrait se jouer dans les discussions because plus. Le REM, it's good. Mais le contrat d'exploitation doit être favorable au public à long terme, sinon, it's bad. La réponse n'est évidemment pas d'abandonner le projet, mais de se rassurer que nos politiciens ne vendent pas le futur pourqu'ils puissent superviser la construction du REM.

you're joking, right? almost every residence in pre-2000 montreal is attached to another one, these ones here aren't even attached. also, this new construction is built with sprinklers, so fire is even less of a worry than with the older attached housing stock.

du tout, non. que le tout centre-ville aurait un niveau de densité pareil.

this is how fast a building can rise when it does not include automobile storage space.

it's a bit of a shame that they're not building on the william side, along with the plaza there, but i guess whatever gets us closer to that day is positive. that plaza with it's retail will effectively recenter the neighborhood, create a center where now none exists. mcgill street is okay but this will be something very special for residents.

man, this area is on fire. 400 dowd, the new HEC building and humanity will cover the last surface parking lots between the convention center and beaver hall hill. wonderful.
