So the Bronfmans did not want to invest one penny in 2004 but now proud themselves at being saviors of a new club. What a bunch of ..... I will stop here.

DOWNVOTE

Not the nicest building ever designed, but at least it is another 200m tower. Theyre would have been a time we would have dreamed of at least having one pop up, now we have so much going up (800 saint jacques, VSLP, Maestra, Square Phillips) which makes me very happy!!! *Positive Vibes*

Too many small tiny minded villagers in positions of power for this city to stand a chance... frustrating!

I agree a million percent

It breaks my heart to say this but there goes the return of our Expos😭😭😭

Does anyone know if they will also renovate the existing building? I find it so hard to believe they'll keep that white brick, at least paint it black!!

Two projects that are completely different! The company I posted about in November is actively looking to build downtown, what I posted a couple days ago is regarding the purchase of a building for redevelopment that already has a tenant in there so they will need to relocate either elsewhere in the core or suburbs 

Maybe the Laurentien bank? They are tenants of the building on RL and peel. But they only occupy 9 floors.

I am not able to copy the link from my app, but a story in the Journal de Montreal is stating the Bronfman along with his partners will become minority owner's of the Tampa Bay Rays by the summer. It also talks about the ballpark and how hes working with the office de consulation (sorry if i botched the name)

Nice picture. Considering mine 3 days ago, what are the tarps for?

They are most likely pouring concrete. Concrete cannot poured under 0*c therefore they most likely are using heaters to heat the area and the tarps prevent the heat from escaping

Interesting read, sadly its not looking good for Tampa Bay, I am sure the MLB's patience is wearing thin with the stadium situation. 

according to journal de montreal, SPECTRA will be moivng to the deloitte tower and will occupy the 19th and 20th floor of the tower. Geoff Molson expected to hold a news conference tomorrow regarding important restructuring of Groupe CH (which own the Canadiens, Laval Rocket, Spectra and Evenko)

Yes the building can be nicer. But there was a time we greatly wanted all these developments so im not complaining. Also RL has greatly improved between Guy and Peel (Icone, Rocabella, YUL, quinzecent, apartement dorchester ect) but really needs some love between Peel Saint-Laurenrant and Peel. The only 2 new developments in that section have been the AC hotel ans the mariot, so it also helps out with that too. Overall I wish it was nicer, but its a 45 strorey building in a important location so ill take it

I completely agree with vincethewipet. As bronfman mentioned his intentions is to build a stadium of 32 000-34 000. Granted there will be interior parking in the stadium for players and personnel within the team, he did say he wants a small parking lot. So if the parking lot is 1% of the total stadium capacity (taking an avergae of 33000) that is still 330 parking spots for fans only!! Will it fill up fast? Yes Im sure it would but lets remember, the MLB is not like the NFL, NHL or NBA. There are 81 HOME games in the MLB schedule. Games will be paid during the afternoon on weekdays, therefore there will not always be a sellout crowd at the stadium, sometimes there might only be 10,000 people at the stadium. Hence we should not worry about if the parking lot is small. Also just like the bell center, there will be merchants who will turn their land into a parking lot, and not to mention that there is public parking at nearly every high-rise building in Griffintown. Yes you are on the lowest level and its expensive but none the less there still is parking. 

I do hope this project will see the light of day. Bronfman seems to working very hard into doing everything the way the city wants and is trying to incorporate as much as possible from opposing groups into the project. As he stated there will be a stadium, a public park, shops, condos, office buildings, and SOCIAL HOUSING!!! Bronfman wants to add a sport-etude for baseball, I would not be surprised with all the development he is planning that a school will be added, and I'm sure hell also include plans for a community center. To have social housing on the entire redevelopment is simply stupid!!! This is a billion dollar investment, Bronfman has done his homework. He has meet with mayor Plante, met with various groups to make sure the project will include what they believe is important for the area. I really hope it will see the light of day and extremely excited about the potential return of the expos.

Ce que je vois sur les photos ci-jointes, prisent il y a trois jours environ par la caméra de chantier, n'a rien de rassurant. Ce qui laisse penser que lorsque les équipes de Formule 1 commenceront à arriver il y aura sans doute encore plusieurs travailleurs sur le chantier qui s'affaireront à apporter les dernières touches au nouveau bâtiment.

Si la structure est terminée il semble rester beaucoup de travaux de peinture à faire; et possiblement aussi de l'électricité, de la plomberie et de la menuiserie. Et regardez bien juste à côté de la pelle mécanique à gauche de la première photo: je trouve inquiétant de voir tous ces rouleaux de fil électrique à une étape aussi tardive.

Bref, ce sera la course avant la course! 

Those pictures date from the 23rd of may at 10 in the morning. Since then they have not taken more photos of the jobsite. 

Sorry all Im a little lost, know they are demolishing th autoroute near the canal and are continuing the urban boulevard???

We aren't in Manhattan though, Montreal will only have two 200m glass boxes,  which will do a lot to give our skyline a modern refresh.

Everyone keeps talking about Montreal needs a landmark building, but we already have that in the Olympic Tower. Even after Toronto's office and condo boom, the city is synonymous with the CN tower and no other building. I feel like we will be the same.

 

very well said!!

Malgré que, lors de son entrevue à RDS avec son père, Bronfman disait qu'ils étudiaient toutes les options concernant le toit, on sentait que lui-même penchait plus pour un stade sans toit.

what is also interesting during his interview with le 5 a 7 on RDS is that he would like a multi-purpose stadium and when asked specifically for the alouettes he said yes. 

Interesting to note is that alot of people are asking if their will still be interest in baseball (if the expos come back) once the honeymoon phase is over. Many experests such as Mitch Melnik said that in the 80's after the great habs dynasty was over the expos were just as popular and at times more popular than the habs. For two years they outdrew BOTH the yankees and the mets. Now I personally would like to see an open air stadium, I just feel it is more authentic to the game of baseball. But if its a stadium with a roof ill still be happy, as long as the expos come back.

That was a big error putting the stadium in the east end. They are not getting anywhere near the crowds nor the business interest they could be getting if they had a downtown location.

Im not talking about the location of the stadium. I agree its in a terrible location. Im talking about the fact that saputo stadium is an open air stadium, and in my opinion the new expos stadium should be also

So the MLB season runs roughly as the same time as the MLS season. The MLB season began on March 20th, and game 7 of the world series (if needed) is scheduled for october 30th. The MLS season began the March 2nd and the final for the MLS cup playoffs is scheduled for November 10th. So stade Saputo does not have a roof, its GREAT stadium to watch soccer, and if the MLB and MLS seasons run roughly the same time, why cant the expos stadium be an open air stadium. I have been to stade saputo many times, for playoff games in october and no one is ever complaining about the cold. I was also this year for the home opener once again no one was complaining. So why cant we have a open air stadium, IMO it is more authentic to the game of baseball than a stadium with a roof.

Je ne suis pas d'Accord avec la premisse que Boston, Detroit, Chicago et Cleveland on un climat similaire à MOntréal. Ce sont tous des villes avec des climats plus doux que Montréal.

Je l'ai déjà dit et je répète, ça nous prend un stade avec toit rétractable identique au Minute Maid Park à Houston. Même quand le toit est fermé, on a presque l'impression d'être à l'extérieur! Et une fois ouvert, on ne le vois plus!

Minesota, just as bad as us in the winter. Open air ballpark.
