It's the actual height that matters, not floor count. TDC 3 has 55 floors (most in MTL), but is only 166m, so shorter that L/Avenue.

L'article dit qu'il sera plus grand que L'Avenue (qui a 51 étages et mesure 184m). La tour de la bourse mesure 194m, donc avec 5 étages de plus que L'Avenue, je pense qu'on est pas mal assurés qu'il le dépassera. Environ 202m selon mes calculs...

SCOOP, 56 étages!!! Montreal's Tallest Residential Tower to Rise Near National Bank By Natalie Wong March 28, 2018, 9:30 AM EDT Developer Broccolini to spend up to $233 million on project Site will be ‘ultimate mixed-use’ with condos, office, retail Broccolini Construction Inc. plans to invest as much as C$300 million ($233 million) to build the tallest residential tower in Montreal. The closely held firm will transform 600,000 square feet of downtown city space into a 56-story mixed-use tower, said Roger Plamondon, president of real estate development and acquisitions at Broccolini. Eight stories will be allocated to office and retail space; the rest of the building will contain about 400 condominium units. The new tower will dethrone Broccolini’s recently completed 50-story mixed-use building, dubbed L/Avenue, as the tallest tower of its kind in the city. “It’s the future of real estate as a rule,” Plamondon said in an interview at Bloomberg’s Montreal office. “By necessity you’re moving into mixed-use. We’ve been very successful and we have a very good ear to what the market is looking for so we’ve adapted our mix.” Developers are racing to Amazon-proof their businesses by reducing mall exposure and turning to a mix of retail, condos and offices. The tech sector has helped drive tenant demand for office space to a record in Montreal in 2017, according to CBRE Group Inc. The city, with its mix of old cobblestone charm and relaxed vibe, is the country’s third-hottest commercial market with C$3.5 billion in transactions in the first three quarters of last year. The housing market is also heating up as capital is shifting from over-priced markets in Toronto and Vancouver. Broccolini plans to start marketing the building this fall and complete construction at the start of 2023, Plamondon said. The residential tower will be located next to the largest office tower to be built in Montreal in 25 years -- the new headquarters of National Bank of Canada which is slated for occupancy in 2022. National Bank will invest more than C$500 million ($402 million) in the building which will also be built by Broccolini. The plan so far is to build a park between the two sites as well as an underground path.

Vu belvédère:

Le commentaire de vincethewipet a complètement éclipsé la mien lol mais bon! Quel plaisir d'entendre toutes ces nouvelles. Vivre Montréal!

National Bank will be holding it's annual financial services conference tomorrow. A lot of industry leaders from the financial and insurance sector will be in attendance. Louis Vachon, president of NBC will be giving a speech, maybe we will hear something about their new head office??? https://www.nbc.ca/en/about-us/news/news-room/press-releases/2018/20180322-Louis-Vachon-National-Bank-Financial-16th-Annual-Financial-Services-Conference.html

They are at floor 17, only 2 left.

Provencher Roy on publié des nouvelles images de l'intérieur. C'est incroyable que la Tour de Montréal soit toujours aussi futuriste après tout ce temps. http://kollectif.net/desjardins-tour-olympique-premieres-images-devoilees/

There are new renderings showing the exterior renovations. It looks like there will be more open street retail, a terrace, a new entrace on McGil College. It appears Les Hall Gastronomies will be the only floor that is open across both combined shopping centers.

It has disappeared in the night!

Maison Manuvie, PVM, 1501 McGill College étaient tous allumés vert pour le fête de la Saint-Patrick. Le Holiday Inn et les Tours Desjardins aussi!

Le mur aveugle a toujours été planifié dans le projet. Le mur que t'as vu est un bâtiment mécanique, donc pas besoin de fenêtres. Les grands murs seront utilisés comme écrans pour des projections:

Cadillac Fairview are really incredible when it comes to speed, the best in the business.

Je trouve que c'est plus élégant, mais plus intense! Pas sûr que les résidents de TOM et l'Atitude l'apprécieront ...

Une proposition qui provient de Boston, je pense que ça pourrait être intéressant pour ce projet! Cela ferait une belle équilibre avec la place Bonaventure et son jardin sur son toit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stantec Designs Residential Addition to Boston's Dock Square Garage Finding developable plots of land in Boston's vibrant downtown is becoming rare these days, forcing developers and architects to literally think outside the box in the case of a new proposal by Fortis Property Group and Stantec. The duo have filed plans for a flashy ten-storey residential addition on the roof of the Dock Square parking garage. The proposed project makes new use out of a hostile urban environment, image via Stantec While the current parking garage and Hard Rock would be retained, the latter would be reduced in size from 15,000 to 8,000 square feet to accommodate the lobby for the 195-unit residential volume. The number of public parking spaces would also decline from 714 to 698. Dock Square Garage proposal, image via Stantec The brick-clad garage faces a recladding along its entire perimeter under the scheme. It would be sheathed in terracotta louvers and perforated metal panels, arranged vertically to reduce the visual bulk of the structure, while the spiralling glass extension takes root up top. The garage facade would be embedded with LED light strips for active nighttime illumination. The proposal in context, image via Stantec The goal of the facade composition, reads the design strategy submitted to the City, is to "create a warm-coloured building base that fits into the context of the historical neighbourhood, and a contrasting sleek and prism-like top that becomes a recognizable addition to the Boston skyline." De la Gauchetière St. is the simplest answer, as the Indigo parkade bldg. and the Central Station levsl passenger drop and car rental floor shall be demolished anyways, and then rebuilt in the process of building a tower. This would represent the perfect occasion to create a grandiose entrance at the very level of the station's main floor. (This, as opposed to the horrendous narrow corridor presently offering visitors views over... the parking!) Plus, Belmont St. is barely wider than a big alley, and would require demolition of either CN's office tower, or the one on the opposite side of the block, so this most certainly won't be considered. Nifty creative project! I'd love to see any project somewhat inspired by it replacing one the few parking lots south of Place Bonaventure! But such a small project definitely shall not be built where the Indigo parkade is presently located. We're talking about a location directly connected to the metro, the REM and Central.Station, where the demand will be there sooer of later to build this lot to its max density, and thus rake up max profits.

The illumination has been white for 3 days now, thoughts?

Le concessionnaire Toyota va prendre toute la RC? On apercoit plusieurs automobiles sur le rendu.

L'image à droit est le rendu de tdc2, le côté gauche est td3. La Tour de la bourse a l'air ..... différent.

Come on, let's be honest here. Canderel is NOT responsible for the 3 Canadiens towers. Cadillac Fairview is the source of those towers, Canderel is just a partner. This just emphasises that Canderel needs help executing their projects for them to take off (at least in Montreal).

Tada!

This could be a sales office, but I think it is just an office area for employees to eat/park and examine plans. In my picture, you can see on the left what looks like an air conditioner popping out. They already have a sales office located at 500 rue McGill that they fully renovated for 628 St-Jaques.It would make financial sense to just reuse it for this new project, considering it is right beside.
