    Lol I was taught at an early age to never just say, “Yuck!” I was made to realize that not everything suits everyone’s tastes.
     

    FWIW, in my humble opinion, if 900 sticks to the original CM concept, it will be one of the most elegant and striking rental residential towers in this city, but à chacun son whatever I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

    lol you are not even following your own advice. "yuck" is an opinion that differs from yours so accept it instead of condescendingly commenting on other posters. This isn't your first born child. Accept it, we hate it.

    The inspiration board for this project from Chevalier Morales says everything about what this tower is gonna look like in 20 years.

    I wonder how this was presented to the client without being laughed out of the room because what it says to me is: "Montreal has a ton of rundown concrete and cheese grater patterns.  Let's embrace it over every one of the 63 floors guys!  YOLO!"

    Amen. What it says to me is that the developers pick the cheapest most cost effective way to build, content with flat top buildings. Even with the height limit, we can still play with it by adding unique peaks to the top.  Imagine if l'avenue would be there in the place of this blandness.

    La station la plus achalandée sera Panama selon les estimés de la Caisse. Mais Bois-Franc a effectivement du potentiel

    Je mentionne bois-franc car les 4 antennes du REM partiront de là. À suivre.

    Je ne sais pas non plus si les passagers venant de la rive sud qui debarque à bois-franc pour aller à PET seront compté bois-franc...

    Même pas, je suis vraiment curieux de savoir, puisque je ne comprend pas et je n'arrive pas à trouver le genre de projet qui serait davantage souhaitable

    Wow. C'est vraiment impressionant que tu y penses pareil. Je suis choqué. J'ai bien lu ton post plusieurs fois. Tu n'arrive pas à trouver le genre de projet qui serait davantage souhaitable? Je crois sincerement que tu es un troll ou j'ai mal compris. Tu peux bien aimer le projet mais de dire que tu as de la misere à trouver un projet qui serait davantage souhaitable? Je croit que tu exageres.

    Juste parmis les gratte-ciel d'ici:

    L'Avenue

    VSLP (concept originale)

    TDC 2 et 3 (concept originale)

    Banque Nationale (concept non retenu)

    Juste parmis la liste tu crois que les edifices mentionnés ne sont pas davantage souhaitable??

    😕 Plus j'observe le Maestria, moins je l'apprecie. Question perspective, je trouve qu'il gache un peu le skyline du centre-ville.

    Tout le monde a le droit à leur opinion. Par contre, je suis un peu perplexe par ton post. Pourquoi ca gache un peu le skyline? Dans quel sens? Trop haut? Trop large? Le skyline a été recentré avec son arrivé je ne voit pas comment ca pourrait gacher le skyline. Explique svp lol

    Pour être tout à fait franc, je ne savais pas que les touristes venaient ici pour prendre des photos de nos bâtiments. Peut-être le stade olympique, mais je pense que c'est à peu près tout ce qui aurait un intérêt comme souvenir architectural.

    Who was talking about tourists taking pictures of buildings? I have seen tourists take pictures on or around the "copper trees" which is near this building. So when they are there, I doubt very much that they will be in awe of the surroundings when they look to the west.

    I actually picked up my friend the other day who's working on this project and it was my first time seeing the cladding in person.

    Originally, looking at pictures here, I thought it couldn't be that bad. 

    Well its worse than I could have imagined.  Its bad enough as it is...but imagine what it'll look like with 5-10 years of grit on it?  

    Whoever approved materials on this project should be chased out of their job.  

    Well said. Freeze -> Thaw those materials a few years and it'll look really bad.

    im pretty sure its not finished yet

    Whatever lipstick they dress up the upper floors with , you will still have a pig for a base. A fugly base at the main entrance to the city visible for many many decades. When tourists and locales come and take pictures on the "copper trees", they will turn to see this hideous base. The upper floors MAY save the building as a whole but walking down RB boulevard just got a little uglier.

    Les photos prises avec un zoom puissant peuvent en certaines circonstances amplifier considérablement la réalité. Ici une photo un peu plus réaliste qui montre quand même une courbe assez prononcée car de toute évidence on ne pouvait pas déconstruire le pont Champlain avant d'entreprendre la construction du pont Samuel-De Champlain.

    PC.jpg

    L'architecte a ajouter la courbe intentionnellement. Cest fait expres pour donner une sentsation de mouvement et de voir au complet le skyline de la ville lors du passage. 

     

    EDIT: La courbe est plus prononcé intentionnellement.

    The Crown Jewel of Montreal’s Latest Luxury Tower Asks C$12.1 Million

    A 30th-floor penthouse sets a new benchmark for luxury residential offerings in the city

     

    Listing of the Day

    Location: Montreal

    Price: C$12.1 million (US$8.9 million)

     

    Montreal’s forthcoming luxury property 1111 Atwater is headlined by its most expensive listing, a stunning 30th-floor penthouse

    The newly constructed building was developed on the former site of the Montreal Children’s Hospital, which opened in 1904 and moved to another location in 2015. The tower, nestled between downtown Montreal, iconic Mount Royal, the St. Lawrence River and the chic enclave of Westmount, provides a central base for enjoying life in Quebec’s largest city. A total of 25 penthouses will occupy the top eight floors of the 38-story, 443-foot tower.

    The home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

    Lemay + Escobar

    “From this penthouse you can see the whole of downtown Montreal, the river dotted by its islands, the mountain and an eclectic ensemble of historic buildings, plus the industrial past and new high-rises that make Montreal so vibrant,” said listing agent Berta Rossi of McGill Immobilier. 

    The ground-floor entryway’s private elevator leads to the 30th floor, where the luxe amenities are exclusively for resident use. An indoor pool connects onto an exterior terrace that’s cantilevered off the building, offering far-reaching views.

    With 10-to- 12-foot ceilings and massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the unit enjoys plenty of natural light. The interiors were conceived by the New York- and Montreal-based architecture firm Lemay + Escobar in collaboration with the Quebec construction company EMD-Batimo. 

    “We used a mix of precious materials down to every detail such as black Saint Laurent marble and huge panels of backlit, golden-hued onyx and veined Macassar ebony wood, interspersed with embossed rose gold-toned metal panels,” said Yluiana Weinberg, senior design lead at Lemay + Escobar. “1111 Atwater is all about elevated living, amazing views, cruise ship-inspired unique materials, and a custom approach to details.”

    The building is “attracting a crowd of successful business people and families coming from affluent, neighboring Westmount, in search of well-equipped, contemporary luxury living,” Ms. Rossi added. 

     

    Stats 

    The two-floor, 5,373-square-foot penthouse, which has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, is perched on the 30th floor of the 443-foot, 1111 Atwater building, which is scheduled to open this month.

    Amenities 

    The building has a 24/7 concierge service as well as valet parking. On the 31st floor, residents can enjoy an indoor pool, sky lounge area and glass-enclosed gym. The building will eventually house a ground-floor restaurant.

    Neighborhood Notes 

    The building is close to notable restaurants and the hip neighborhood of Little Burgundy. The Museum of Fine Arts and the Canadian Centre for Architecture, two of the most lively institutions in the city’s rich cultural scene, are also within walking distance.

    ADM dit aussi que le REM va leur faire perdre des revenus de stationnement. Je ne serais pas étonné qu'ils se soient dits qu'avec la baisse de l'achalandage due à la pandémie, il valait mieux ralentir les dépenses pour le REM et engranger les revenus de stationnement

    Je suis venu écrire exactement le meme commentaire. Près à gager que ca est la cause des retards. Ils nous prends pour des imbéciles.
