Amazing how the CAQ are so eager and willing to destroy Montreal and put us at a disadvantage because their fear of a few English speaking students. Really sad seeing the direction Quebec is heading, not enough people are fighting either, too many sheeps.

Get ready for a first 350 sq ft 2 bedroom, coming soon! It is crazy that they want to cram all that in that space

Lots of density, zero height diversity. You can see the 3 buildings planned.

MTL's unemployment rate will skyrocket with Legault's plan to destroy English universities. Add on top of that the strengthening of Bill 96 (harder to hire talent) and Canada being in a recession. Quebec and Montreal really fell from grace ever since the CAQ took over. Everything is crumbling, everyone is on strike, and all they do is blame immigrants and Anglos and cause linguistic divisions because they're a retarded backward government. None of this is surprising, coming from the man who couldn't even run Transat and backstabbed his own colleagues. Small man with a huge ego, small peen and a smaller brain.

So this deal will probably go through fully Q2, 2024 and rebranding and all that fun stuff will be done by 2025-26. The proposed model is the C.F model, where all parks get investments in rides/infrastructure, upkeep, etc.. the S.F portion will be technologial upgrades (i.e mobile food orders, screens, self ordering, etc.). I do believe some of the smaller parks will get sold off once this merger is 110% set in stone. I think La Ronde will stay since that park is ridiculously profitable, even though upgrades and new rides are non-existent. Hopefully this merger will lead to upper management to finally listen to park management and let prior plans/new plans go through.

It's official https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-02/six-flags-cedar-fair-to-merge-in-8-billion-theme-park-deal

Cedar Fair and S.F are talking about a merger, talks are serious now. This could be great news for La Ronde

National Bank Financial has officially moved into the new offices.

Right, optimistic Rocco at it again. Luxury stores don't open up in cities for the fun of it, they do market studies. Montreal had a lot of potential and a lot of high income areas + tourists coming in. You have the same backers behind the Miami Design District, they don't fool around. This will add much needed competition in the city, we just need to make sure those in power take advantage and participate in this competition.

Earth to Rocco, we're in the 21st century. Society is different, no-one says slurs like that anymore or even thinks that. But people like you and people like the CAQ are living in the past and think it's still the 60s. What's next? Fearing the Catholic Church again?

Last two posts... yikes Quebec does not "subsidise" anything, most people abroad stay in Montreal or Quebec and end up contributing to our society and economy. Anglo unis already redistribute $6,000 per non QC resident student to French universities. The CAQ are a bunch of nimrods that want to turn Montreal and Quebec to a village. Getting rid of talent or discouraging talent to come here is a step in that direction. It's honestly wild seeing a government so hellbent on sending the city and province back decades, just cause their fear and hatred of a language.

Jadco project is not on this lot, so I'm wondering what's going on for this one.

That podium is tragic

That's correct, there's only one floor left to be leased now.

Like I've always said, Quebec and MTL have too much red tape, bureaucracy and idiotc governments. We must elect pro business and enlightened people and have to pave the path to allow more people with that pov get involved in politics.

It's nice seeing that we've had a pretty strong Q3/Q4 so far with companies expanding here, VC and new leases. With the Ubisoft and Ardian news yesterday, Avalanche studios and a few other companies establishing Canadian or N.A HQs here, it shows how important of a city we are. There's more expansions coming our way, let's hope majority will lease office space downtown and get the ball rolling.

For the crane maybe?

Wages are higher there as a way to incentivize people to work there. One of my buddies got a job offer there, starting $130,000 a year, vs Québec where the same job was $55,000.

According to Colliers. Downtown Montreal has a vacancy rate of 14.3% and saw a positive absorption rate of 207,000 sq ft in Q3, 54.5M sq ft overall for downtown CBRE has the opposite, 17.4% vacancy rate, negative absorption, 45M sq ft for downtown. Take it for what it's worth, but I definitely believe the Colliers numbers are closer to reality than CBRE.

Avalanche studios has expanded to Montreal https://news.cision.com/avalanche-studios/r/avalanche-studios-group-expands-to-montreal,c3854246

As expected, Sony opened a new office at 700 St. Hubert. When I broke the news, I said 50K sq ft, it's actually 60K

So I'm out of town still, but construction prep has begun from what my friend told me. Did slme deliveries today, no crane just yet.

Once projects close by fully finish, the recession is over, prices stabilise and red tape is reduced, then the next round should start. Demand is there, market conditions are not at the moment, however.

I'm seriously considering a go fund me to buy land and develop it here lol. Only need a few hundred millions, though lol.

I passed by, no action on site. It'll probably be like this for a while.
