    So, wait - they're building the residential component after all?  

    Great aerial photo, by the way.  

    To my knowledge, there was never a residential component. The small red section will be a farmers market for food and artisan products. The green section will have a food court and boutiques at street level. The grey section will be the Centre d’Histoire de Montréal. The blue section will be government offices and the orange will be a hotel.

    Oh and the space between both buildings is a strip teaseuses.

    There is more than enough road space for any festival use.  It would take another sovereignty referendum for an event to use all the road and park space in the QdS area.  What we're looking at will be one of the ugliest public spaces in the core of the city, rarely if ever used, and it will cost tens of millions to build and millions to maintain.  A much more expensive and permanent sapin de la honte. 

    Instead, the city could zone the land to 100m and sell it.  With that money, it could do something interesting with some other part of the area - for instance, contributing it to a fund to cover the rest of the Ville Marie.  Or, alternately, it could build a few hundred units of public housing to begin the Habitations Jeanne Mance redevelopment.  Build there, relocate people from the Jeanne Mance project, the start the demolish, relocate, rebuild cycle.  

    Instead, it's tens of millions for the park equivalent of the Place Vauquelin/McTavish steps/sapin de la honte.  

    I tend to disagree with you on a few points. This lot has been used for various festivals for years now.  Jazz fest, francofolie and others use it for smaller stages and what not. So there's already a "need" for that space, and we can only expect the attendance numbers to keep growing.

    These kind of public spaces attract investments nearby. Look at Bonnaventure, developers are going crazy buying lots and building quickly. Although the city isn't making a profit directly, they will indirectly make a profit from land and condos being sold nearby.

    TOM Condos - 42 étages (2019)

    Hi, 

    I am looking for anyone who bought a unit at TOM Condos and who is frustrated by the delays. 
     My husband and I bought a unit in 2013, we were dating at that time, and they promised the delivery would be in summer 2015. We thought great thats the year we are getting married, it will be perfect. 

    We are in 2018 and still no news on delivery date. From 2015, it has only been delay after delay, false promise after false promise. From delivery being summer 2015, it was pushed to end 2015, then summer 2016, then end 2016, then early 2017...then summer 2017.. you get the picture. Recently in Nov 2017, we received email that delivery will begin in feb 2018. it is Feb 2nd, and still no news from TOM. 

    Instead of driving to work for 5 KM had I lived downtown,  I drive 25 KM to, and 25 KM back home from Laval. Instead of spending our early marriage days in condo downtown.. we are living out in Laval. With the 3 years of delay, our current living situation doesn't even suit downtown living anymore. We feel stuck, annoyed, frustrated. I am seeking legal advice from real estate lawyer next week. If you or someone you know is in the same boat, please contact me. 


     

    I'm truly sorry to hear about the situation you are in. Besides the people on the forum who follow the delays and just really want to see a new building finished,  there are people like you who have actually invested and who's life's center around this.

    I highly recommend you approach the media about this story. Speak to both the French and English media, I know that CJAD 800 love's these personal stories.

    Bad publicity like this story could be disastrous for a promotters next projects sales, it could definetly shame them in to compensating you all to save face.

    Good luck, please keep us updated!

    Personnaly, I think Montreal's tallest will be constructed on the site. However that shitty looking Duke building will hide all the beauty and impact when we enter downtown via bonaventure

    I think these kind of complaints don't make sense in the real world. No building, no matter how tall and beautiful, can be or needs to be visible at all times. It's like how people complain that L'Avenue is too hidden, yet it is seen by millions of people who visit the Centre Bell each year.

    It adds to the intrigue of walking or driving through a city to discover different views, which is a good thing!

    National Bank to Build Biggest Montreal Tower in 25 Years

    By

    • Canada’s No. 6 bank to shift headquarters and staff by 2022
    • Construction will cost over C$500 million; old site to be sold

    National Bank of Canada plans to invest more than C$500 million ($402 million) to build a new headquarters near the old city of Montreal that will be the largest office tower built in the area in 25 years.

    National Bank will be the sole occupant of the estimated 36-story tower on the corner of St-Jacques Street and Robert Bourassa Boulevard, on the same street where the bank had a head office more than 100 years ago, spokesman Claude Breton said in a phone interview. The tower that currently houses the head office will be sold, with proceeds directed to the new building, slated for occupancy in 2022.

    Canada’s sixth-biggest lender purchased the site near the central train station last week from Montreal-based Broccolini Construction Inc., said Breton. Part of the site is still owned by Broccolini, which will be developing condominium towers on the property, he said.

    Broccolini will be involved in the construction of the new headquarters along with other partners including Quebec construction giant Pomerleau Inc., Breton said.

    “Returning to Saint-Jacques Street is particularly meaningful since National Bank had a head office on that very street over a century ago,” Chief Executive Officer Louis Vachon said in a statement Tuesday. “With this new location at the entryway to Montreal, National Bank will bring most of its various Montreal teams together under one roof to give their activities even greater impact.”

    National Bank’s announcement comes two months after Manulife Financial Corp. opened its new Quebec headquarters in Montreal’s financial core to house insurance and asset-management employees. The city’s commercial real estate is catching up to Canada’s most populous cities of Toronto and Vancouver, as demand for assets has sent prices soaring.

    Canada was set to top records for commercial-property investments in 2017, according to CBRE Group Inc., and downtown office vacancy rates are among the lowest in North America. Montreal is Canada’s third-hottest commercial market with C$3.5 billion in transactions in the first three quarters of last year, trailing Toronto and Vancouver, which saw C$12 billion and C$8.1 billion respectively.

    Major SCOOP!!!!

    I've heard from a fairly reliable source that a major Montreal corporation wishes to move its HQ to this site. They are looking for approximately 20 to 25 floors of office space (approx. 400,000 to 500,000 sq. feet). Also, there will be a 175 to 200 meter condo tower built on the same site.

    I tried finding out who this corporation was, but was unable to find out! I guess we'll just have to be patient!

    My feeling (and this is just speculation on my part) is that if they can have one company taking 20 to 25 floors before they even start construction, this could easily justify the construction of a 45 to 50 story Office tower.

    I really hope it's Couche-Tard, right now their head office is in Laval. Imagine! The commercial base of the tower has to world's biggest and best Couche-Tard, a flagship store! 9_9

    Bon une autre tour a voir monté. Avec le Humaniti, on aura toujours quelques chose à voir malgré qu'il y a que la TdC 3 qui décole et qui dépassera le fameu 120m

    Ne tombons pas dans le piège de croire qu'un projet est important seulement s'il est +120m!  On va avoir le plaisir de voir monter le "Quartier" Radio Canada et le Carré Saint-Laurent, deux projets qui valent plus pour le trame urbaine que TDC3 ou Humaniti.
