Still can't believe they aren't leaving room to add more lanes to the pick-up area... should be double what there is now, regardless of the REM.

Quinzecent is the first cousin of YUL 1 & 2. So clearly from the same developer and architect.

If only they intended to use a red brick and black casement-style windows it would look like an industrial-era building and "fit" nicely; Certainly with the history of the area.

Le 15 août,
Boy, this really should have been taller and more slender to differentiate it from Sun Life from this view.... it looks like the two buildings are merging into one fat one.

Solstice looks great from this angle; the roof and crown detailing plus the darker glassed facade all add up nicely here. As for Le George, big fan of the pre-fab on this one... it's a good look.

Was just walking this area last week. Hard to fathom that around the single most important (busiest) Metro hub in the city, this area isn't being densified. It flies in the face of best urban planning practices not to have a few blocks around here up-zoned. Place Dupuis already exists so it shouldn't be controversial. Lionel-Groulx is another station that should be a TOD zone.

The most ridiculous rule. Our glorious mountain is invisible from many vantage points.
And at the same time, it's so vast compared to the CBD that it always be dominant in the background.

I'm really not impressed by the look of this tower. The fact that it is so prominent in the skyline makes it even worse. The crown looks terrible. The glass looks cheap overall.

Le Tom est probablement l'une des tours les plus sous-estimées à Montréal. Merci Denis pour tout ton dévouement. 👍
Pictures don't do it justice; it is really nice in person.

Non, non. This pedestal is for la mairesse, the first female mayor. 😜

C'mon. They must notice that and how terrible it looks.

It's gorgeous and one of my favorite little buildings. A challenging spot for a retailer as most of the display windows are on the side street not on the main shopping artery. BUT I do think a cosmetic company store would work well in the space.

Excellente question
I believe it's less than the current building's height; so you couldn't demo and build as tall as the Rogers is now.

Do we know what they paid for the property/site? If it's anywhere near $40M, then it is surprising a promoter wouldn't want to build more as is by-right. No one knows what the financial model for their project looks like, of course. We do know that 1) financing costs are greater now and 2) we do know that the city has a dislike for towers and has a 120 m / fetish of sorts and there is more vocal opposition to "la folie des hauteurs" of the last few years 3) there is a notable lack of lower income units proposed here in light of 20/20/20 and 4) from the looks of market rents in new buildings downtown, it's hard to imagine why they don't build more units. Together, these don't add up.
Also, cities /mayors are sometimes known for pushing promoters to be more ambitious (for any variety of reasons) with proposals.

Wow. This is incredible. It doesn't have to be 200m. 180 or 170m would be wonderful. What is with this 120m?? And no one of authority sees how dumb the picket fence skyline looks here? No one is suggesting to go higher to add more lower income or familial housing? Or heck, just to be more ambitious? This is a project I'm hoping dies on the drawing board. I feel like Montreal is being scarred by these very generic, 120 m tall - flatlining skyline - developments.

I'm still impressed by the will and effort of re-creating the original facade; the brick work looks quite nice as does the ground floor portion. Hopefully, something similar is done with the old Gazette building next door - this street could use all the charm it can hold onto!

Arguably the ugliest corner and intersection in what is supposed to be the toniest neighborhood in town. A big Chanel ad on the backside of The Mount Stephen Hotel would already look better.

New renders for Jadco's development, 120 metres and another tower of about 100 metres. Commercial and rental spaces.
It's quite nice even if pretty generic-looking. I'll take this over the pre-fab fiesta that is Griffintown.
I echo Rocco here: a derogation of 30-40 metres here in exchange for a low income housing component should be proposed... dare I say it, by the city. It's not even such an out-the-box idea... but for the political culture that is afraid of / dislike height. Towers = bad. Towers = damage quality of life.

I'm really excited to see how the tower panels come together... this is also shaping-up (no pun intended, but it works) to be a sliver tower.

More studies needed. It's still unclear if such an extension is needed and what it will do to the environment. 🙄

Once again, the focus is solely on height (not even in meters but stories, which make it seem even more controversial) instead of view corridors.
Also, a 40-storey residential building is approx 120m and on this low grade, would barely be at 100-110 m vis-a-vis Mont Royal. This is more about a dislike of tall buildings full stop. By all means, let's recreate Griffintown's skyline.

Limite de hauteur à 200m, pour ou contre ?

Wind turbines are not ugly and are in fact, quite beautiful and elegant in their design. Honestly, prettier than most buildings. And a field full of them is otherworldly in a cool way.
