Pretty cool. Merci beaucoup pour le lien. Plusieurs bonnes points.

Thanks for sharing. She's probably mad because she's fat and money can't buy her a real boyfriend that doesn't need batteries.

St Laurent / R-L

Beautiful canyon in the making!

Locals (especially those who understand the particularities of QC) might not be affected as much.

However, we shouldn't underestimate the power and the fear of the foreign investor who is behind a great number of current condo sales.

mtlmtl, j'ai pris des photos de roccabella.ca la section images.

Its not that bad to have them twinned. 42/42 would've been perfect.

All I can comment on is that normally owners of condos with pools all end up regretting it later. The upkeep seems to be a bitch and high costs of repair sometimes is a sticking point when you want to resell. When buying a condo, you should look at the owner/investor ratio. I wouldn't want to live in a building with a high number of investor owned units.

It is hard to have meetings and consensus. Also, they tend to rent them out to losers who don't care about the building.

Welcome to the forum.

I always have two thoughts whenever I see that photo.

1) Montreal has a lot of sprawl/light pollution. Pretty cool though.

2) God damn! Canada is empty!!!

Juste imaginer la futur "bonaventure curve". Ceux qui l'empruntent savent de quoi je parle.

Soyons positif J'serais curieux de voir de quoi ça a l'air sur un building. J'sais pas si vous en avez trouvé sur le net mais pas moi !

Un recherche de "polished concrete" donne plein de photos interieur.

Je n'ai pas trouvé aucune photo d'un utilisation exterieur. En plus, avec nos hivers; oh boy! Anyway, j'ai hâte à voir ça aussi!

Bravo!

Curieux: sur la carte d'Aimer Mtl, on ne voit pas le Crystal?

Car ajouter la monstruosité signé crystal de la montagne dans une carte appellé 'aimer mtl' est une contradiction!

J'ai hâte à 2015 justement pour montrer comment que le crystal est si ridicule au coin de R-L et de la montagne! Quelle gaffe monumentale!

WOW! Merci pour l'info Gilbert!

Incroyable! J'ai hâte!!!1

I have been on this type of forum since 2003 when I first started on SkyscraperPage, let me tell you, there wasn't much going on back then. People went nuts when the Concorde at 18 storeys was announced. People had erections when the 28 storey Le Crystral was announced. WTF, a 48 storey $175 million Condo tower is announced and everyone seems disappointed. Come on man, we have had over a dozen projects announced in the last couple of months that are worth well over $1.5 billion dollars and we're shitting on a 48 storey Condo????

 

I am so freakin happy that CF has finally announced this project along with the Deloitte office tower. These 2 towers are just phase 1 of of an investment that'll surpass the $1 billion dollar mark within the next 5 to 10 years from CF alone. So let's toast this building and just imagine when all thes towers go up and Griffintown and les Quais are complete along with the MUHC the CHUM the Turcot etc, etc.. Montreal will be transformed!! SO for me it's a happy day!!:)

I can only speak for myself when I say that I am disappointed in the fact that it was scaled down quite a bit since the big fanfare over a year ago. It's a let down now that the official rendering is out.

That being said, I'm glad to see it is not cancelled and that it is a tall, slim tower. We do not have too many of those. Also, seeing the skyline filled with cranes in summer 2014 will no doubt make me come in my pants.

BTW, I am more interested in a towers impact on the skyline and on street level. This is why the new marriot on R-L is my favorite building U/C.

Même si je suis un amateur de hockey, il est evident que ce ne fait pas partie du démographique de ce projet (la tune sur leur site horrible et le logo quétaine sur l'édifice). No way dude!

Meh,...je suis déçu du nombre d'étages et j'ai vraiment peur qu'ils le construit en pré-fab!

I've been very critical of CF and this project. I look forward to being wrong and eating my words!!!

You know you are a sky scrapper aficionado when you look forward to the end of the weekend to find out more about a potential tower.

Les promoteurs doivent donc se croiser les doigts que Charest soit réélu en septembre, sinon......

Yup. that's the big elephant in the room.

What a joke. They will announce what exactly on Monday? That their units will be on sale late 2012?

Please...delay, delay, delay, DEAD.

I know, I can't believe the numbers! Beautiful!

it's what I'd call a wonderful problem to deal with!!

umm I think mtlurbers will be the only ones happy!

Is it technically possible for both roccabella and avenue to go up at the same time? Seriously, the traffic and logistics of managing that will be a nightmare! Imagine if icone goes up as well! It will be non-stop truck after truck on R-L and de la montagne!

Je ne sais pas si la phrase a le même impacte en francais mais "aim higher" est vraiment une phrase qui a du "punch" en anglais. En plus, c'est évident qu'il "vise" la clientèle des autres projets pas trop loin d'la! (allo Vaillant! aim higher!)

Wow. This guy means business. Imagine if they create a miniature replica of the building!

Wow.

So.

freaking.

Cool!!

I believe it is only a question of time. Maybe a very long time but I strongly believe it'll be back. It is incomprehensable to me to see MLB in cities such as milwaukee, KC, and Washington but not in Montreal. Bud Selig was a lazy a$$hole and I will smile the day he croaks. He had no respect for the uniqueness of Montreal and he can go f himself.

Although a great number of African Americain atheletes are no longer graviting towards MLB, there still is a significant amount of spanish players that live and breath the game. Little league is still strong in QC. Its just that they no longer talk about it as much.
