The sales office is already under construction, right in front in the RC of L'Avenue.

They really just need to turn it into a giant glass box at this point.

They need to make the glass match, it's different tones and the mullions are different too. It reminds me of when a teen will buy a bunch of mismatch aesthetic parts from Canadian Tire to make his 1996 Chevy Cavalier look 'sport'.

Ces limites de hauteur, est-ce qu'elle s'applique juste sur l'ile? IE: si on construit une tour de 300m sur la rive-sud, est-ce aussi illégal?

Illégal. 

Il y a une plaque devant le 1000 qui indique que sa hauteur est de 232 mètres ...?

I don't think mtlurb is the best platform for this. You will first need a clearer vision of what and where you want to build, no one will take you serious with such a vague mission. 

The only way to get a tailor made project would be to own the land first and then find a builder.  I don't know how much money you have, but it will be expensive.

C'est déjà officiel depuis le printemps : 37 étages - 120m

 

Merci!

Was this the building that was permitted to have 3 extra floors compared to the YUL? Therefore instead of measuring 120 meters, it should be around 130m or am I wrong?

There is no official height yet, the maximum is 120m though.

C’est un écran ou une projection ?

Projection, c'est difficile à photographier mais c'est vraiment spectaculaire en personne.

They were playing a contemporary dance movie, very high quality. It looks amazing on the building, the dark scenes are a bit hard to see. The movie lasts 15 minutes and has 4 chapters, it's called Eve 2050.

WOW!

Belle skyline à Westmount ?

C'est n'importe quoi que la colonne de soutien bloque le trottoir...

J'espère qu'ils vont commencé immédiatement la construction de la deuxième tour. Je ne veux pas que ça soit la même histoire que Icône phase 2 ...

Has anyone been on their website? Its terrible. I dont know if they have pictures of the current lobby or if those are renderings but they're absolutely ugly. This project has zero marketing what so ever. The "renovated" part is not fully renovated, from the pictures the floors are old as hell, ugly white appliances, and the windows and doors like so damn cheap! Its better off some developer buy this building, demolish it and build a proper high rise, not a half-fast attempt like this.

The renovated part is nearly rented at %100. You have to keep in mind the target audience is students at Concordia, there is even a study room located in the building. You will not be getting top quality materials and renovations.

"It's remembered by many as the A&P and Provigo grocery stores. Most recently it was a Toyota dealership.
What I didn't know is that when it was built (maybe in the 1920s? also as a car showroom), it had a pleasing industrial/commercial style. Had the original structure been preserved over the ensuing decades - minus the two atrocious levels added on the roof - it might have had a third life not unlike that of le Faubourg Ste-Catherine a few blocks away."

Permit issues?

I think that they have not started excavation because there are structural issues with the building beside. You can see that they have opened the walls and have been reinforcing it.

The wood fence has been removed and the trailer as well. The ground has been cleaned also and there are new metal fences on site...maybe a sign of a start to this project?

Bon ce n'est pas l'affiche qu'on voulait voir....
