    Considering that this lot - irrespective of the church - is zoned for 200m by-right, not sure their demand that the tower be reduced in height to 92m is valid. Also, won't a 92m building also dominate over the church? Taller and slender would be much more advisable here and provide a greater opportunity to highlight the church - juxtapose it against a sleek glassy backdrop. Just look at how the current BNC HQ blocks the Bell Telephone building completely from view as an example of this flawed thinking.

    Reminds me a bit of this going-up in downtown LA....

    More like Ville St Laurent. Right around Thimens and Cavendish.

    This project will cover a few very ugly facades....

    Don't think so... maybe if there were a few more blocks zoned for 120m or 120m+, but this area is pretty limited with big building potential - other than Square Victoria and a redevelopment of the EVO/Hyatt/Grand Hotel site one day. The city would have to re-examine zoning.

    Don't worry, it's not only a Montreal thing. Podiums are very common in LA.

    They are definitely at the most challenging part of this building - the twisting, angular part of the super-structure.

    A trade off could have been more height (more units) for better finishes/architecture. It seems that the city planners and powers-that-be get so caught-up in height and density.

    In 3 years or so, de Bleury is going to be worthy of the "Greatest Street Transformation" award.

    This project is so slow I often forget about it!

    Impressive but Soviet-looking in terms of aesthetics; heavy with all the pre-fab.

    One more regular-sized floor to go and then the setbacks begin.

    That is one elegant building. The twin would have been stunning.

    Cite International #2 was a 30-storey building and I believe the foundations that exist support that. The lot is zoned 120m+/200m.

    They really have slowed on the cladding and window installation.

    I find the VslP podium to be clunky and busy - not very elegant. The tower itself, I like.

    IMHO, it's better.

    It's going to make quite the juxtaposition photo when the BNC HQ is complete: a shiny new downtown skyscraper next to a suburban-style big box store. ...Hopefully those power lines get buried.

    Agreed! A beautiful little pocket. Other than CIL House, the buildings that came later leave a lot to be desired.

    And it was being demo'd for a park and parking?!
  21. internationalx
    Ufff. 505 R-L.: One of the worst in the downtown core for sure.
  22. internationalx
    Do we know who owns the property?

    Honestly, Phase I looks like it's straight out of 1975. Phase II will be a welcome addition with its glassy envelope.
  24. internationalx
    Awful. They ruined an otherwise handsome late 1950's building.

    Well, the CN/Gare Centrale mega block is truly the center; and it's going to be due for a mega re-development. I'm just hoping it's done right this time. I do like that PVM is somewhat isolated from the rest - the emerging clusters - and stands on her own.
