    Super dense.
  2. internationalx
    Right next to 200m zones.

    Love the light here... so soft. Best view of the skyline from this angle.
  4. internationalx
    That middle section desperately wants to be 5-8 stories taller.

    Pretty sure it was mainly about blocking views... of 1250 R-L and the river from Kondiaronk. They wanted them to chop down the height.
  6. internationalx
    Are you sure about that? They've already questioned and sunk a project with a by-right allowance of 200m for blocking views of the river.

    Gotta love that the only concern with new development is height. Griffintown (skyline) is largely ugly because of height restrictions which in turn impact design and in the end, it all looks the same (height, shape, volume). It would be nice if we heard about challenging developers (and their architects to be more audacious) in design.

    Someone put together a side-by-side shot of the Expo site and Griffintown....

    Ayoye. Talk about unimaginative architecture. It's like a big blunt object standing there in the wide open space... to remain that way because of the constraints around it. This spot should have gotten something sculptural. Iconic. Oh, wait, Plante said this is iconic. 🙄 We're letting someone with that taste level run the city? 😜 ...I keep thinking about Via 57 West in NYC and how something like that would have been perfect here.

    Isn't CCE also 128m? I find it interesting how this proposal is the exact, random height. And 1355 R-L is proposed to be 120 m? Definitely seems to be some sort of lowering of heights to match whatever is already built... it just makes for an oppressive streetscape, the opposite of the desired outcome.

    Reminder: one they didn't pick.... https://figurr.ca/en/project/c40-reinventing-montreal

    The problem is the shape and general architecture of the building. The art does give it "ooomf" as they say in the article but the silhouette of the building is still the same. You know, just an extention of Generictown, er, Griffintown.

    I guess they finally realized the building was hideous /boring / unimaginative and needed something.... 🙄 "Pour la mairesse Valérie Plante, l’emplacement stratégique du terrain, sur lequel se trouvait une cour de voirie, nécessitait une signature forte". https://www.lapresse.ca/arts/arts-visuels/2023-09-26/une-oeuvre-de-marc-seguin-a-l-entree-de-montreal.php

    Hmm. Obviously, very disappointed with the boring 120m height 🙄 but this is too little a teaser to tell if the design and materials are any consolation prize.... Provencher Roy being involved is a good sign - I suppose.
  15. internationalx
    Maybe they'll want to move into a new building for a fresh start.... any spec office towers on the drawing board? Quad Windsor I suppose.
  16. internationalx
    No fat shaming. 😜

    Completion date July '25. 🤗

    I'm surprised Heritage Montreal didn't put up a fight for that little greystone; the second story still in its original condition after all.

    Camillien-Houde is a pretty steep climb; other than elite cyclists, will pleasure cyclists really use it? Also, walkers? I suppose it's a good hiking trail but again, for the more fit /athletic types. I preferred the idea of keeping it open to pleasure drivers with a greatly reduced speed limit.
  20. internationalx
    Oh. That looks interesting! More pronounced detailing than I was expecting.
  21. internationalx
    Big time missed opportunity. To build a sizable (height-wise) project on Sherbrooke Street for (at least part) a luxury hotel and branded condos is a huge fail. To say nothing of Monit dropping the ball too....

    The city has been chasing families to inhabit the downtown core since the 1980's - so far as I can remember. It didn't work then and it can't work now given the cost of such condos. (That said, 3-bedroom condos in new towers shouldn't be unicorns either but of course, they will cost the buyer more as stated above.) Montreal isn't Manhattan and families like yards and such for their kids and the suburbs and exurbs of Montreal have that. Even many central / inner city neighborhoods have that.
  23. internationalx
    Compared to most of the other towers we've been getting, this project is among the best. The photos don't do it justice and in-person is much better. La bande blanche is odd no question about it.
  24. internationalx
    A project that doesn't excite me in the least. What a waste of an incredible piece of land in a spectacular location. 😖
  25. internationalx
    The CAA lot / building should be incorporated with the Icone 2 site. Oh, wait... the zoning is different. 🙄
