    Ground level of this one is atrocious...
  2. Southwark
    Oof, this one is ugly... Frankly the bricks on the side look better than that sheet metal they used on the front facade...

    LoL, "projet avant-gardiste"/"tour magistral" "inspiré de Williamsburg, Brooklyn". 🤔
  4. Southwark
    Je ne peux même pas me résoudre à marcher devant cet immeuble. C'est trop triste à tant de niveaux...

    Les gens ne ramassent même pas leur caca de chien.. Cela rend vraiment beaucoup de ces trottoirs plutôt dégoûtants. Je ne dirais pas que Montréal est plus sale que les autres grandes villes en général, à l'exception de mars/avril où toute la excréments et les déchets qui étaient cachés dans la neige sont soudainement visibles.

    Looks like something out of the Third World. The kind of place you hope your illegal airport taxi doesn't turn into.

    Fou. Je me souviens de la boulangerie qui était ici. Il y avait relativement peu de choses à l'intérieur, mais il semblait en quelque sorte plus petit que cet endroit Moretti n'en a l'air.

    Phase 3 definitley agree is the odd one out.. both height and cost-cutting choice for cladding in the balcony sections. I don't mind 1 & 2, they kind of fade into the background. Not overly offensive. They were built before the peak of the boom back when we were coming out of many years in which few tall buildings were built, and the tall buildings that were built were not great, like the Hilton Garden Inn, Altitude, Crystal, Louis-Boheme, etc. I was mostly happy to see this lot built on with something that was not overly diminutive or complete trash. In an ideal scenario, I would have preferred these to be built on another street, or maybe the section of R-L east of University, maybe near Complexe Desjardins or Saint-Laurent. The brown cladding might have complimented some of the other buildings nearby. And in the same scenario, I would have liked to see the Banque Nationale building constructed on this site to have more of a financial district vibe in this area.

    J'étais dans le coin et ils installaient une plate-forme du côté de la rue King cette semaine. Je suppose qu'ils prévoient de nettoyer les briques dans un avenir pas si lointain. Mais ce projet a vraiment traîné en longueur. Il est en construction depuis 2019, un peu fou pour un immeuble de 10 étages.

    Not overly tall, high end or ground breaking architecture, but it nevertheless has a certain timelessness look to it. The clean symmetrical design works well.

    Wow, already tags on this building! No respect..
  12. Southwark
    If East Germany still existed today, I could see this sort of architecture being built there.

    This looks like something from the banlieues of Paris. Apparently the city of Montreal has no architectural standards whatsoever. It is admittedly childish, but 1-star Google Reviews on these firms for designing such a monstrosity is kind of warranted..

    This would have been a good spot for a mixed-use tower rather than a 10 storey filler building. Facing the Ville-Marie autoroute, it wouldn't have bothered too many people if it went for 150M+ with a quality design. Generally I feel building heights should be somewhat proportionate to the width of the road they are on. And Viger+the Ville-Marie expressway is quite a vast expanse.. a wide open area.

    These two towers really change the skyline from this angle. I think it looks much more substantial.

    Je pense que l'une des principales choses qu'ils devraient faire avec ce projet est de le connecter au sous-sol. J'ai l'impression que le côté sud de Sainte-Catherine est négligé car il n'a pas cette connexion. De plus, ils doivent opter pour la hauteur maximale possible. Et la vente au détail sur Cathcart ne ferait pas de mal. La rue est morte dans cette section. Il n'y a pas grand-chose à sauver. Le bâtiment Nakisa n'est pas un joyau. Peut-être la façade du bâtiment Five Guys, mais l'intérieur n'a rien de spécial.

    Someone could say this photo was taken in Argentina or Brazil and I would believe them.

    It's ok. It is good infill. Not an architectural masterpiece, but it doesn't need to be in a location like de Maisonneuve/Mackay. Scale is about the same as the neighbouring buildings. Sure it could be taller, but it is much better than what was there before. And better than most of what was put up by Devimco in Griffintown. We need more like this.
  19. Southwark
    I think the initital rendering looked better. It didn't try to copy the neighbouring buildings, but it kept more or less the same proportions.
  20. Southwark
    The post-modern windows on this building doesn't blend in that well with its surroundings.

    Definitely think you should make some noise about this. I feel like there are a few construction companies that do this. I would complain to the city or the non-emergency number for the police (514-280-2222). It would seem like they are breaking some kind of by-laws. They are not supposed to be making noise outside 7am-11pm, and if they are caught they could get a fine. You could also try the construction company as well (or maybe just to tell them you reported them), but I doubt they would care until it costs them money in fines.

    Cela ressemble au genre de structure qu'ils construiraient à la périphérie de Marseille. Pas vraiment adapté au Vieux-Montréal. Il est intéressant de noter que les supposés grands défenseurs de l'architecture et de la « échelle humaine » comme Héritage Montréal ou Phyllis Lambert ne se prononcent pas publiquement contre cette horreur. Juste pour ajouter.. Les gens se plaindront de la hauteur de l'immeuble de bureaux proposé pour la Baie (ce qui est beaucoup plus attrayant et intéressant) mais quelque chose comme ça est acceptable ! Étrange double standard.

    Le centre-ville est meilleur qu'il ne l'était du point de vue des nouveaux bâtiments et des projets en construction, mais je n'ai jamais vu le commerce de détail du centre-ville dans un aussi mauvais état. Le centre-ville est beaucoup plus habité que dans les années 1990, mais le paysage commercial s'est beaucoup détérioré. Je pense que cela montre que nous devons continuer à augmenter le nombre de résidents du centre-ville pour être moins dépendant des employés de bureau et des touristes.

    This whole block looks absolutely horrible. Is there a single business left on the south side of the street? And now the Gap and Banana Republic closed on the north side.. And I don't think it will be this year or next that new businesses take their place. Pandemic + REM construction means this area will not be too good for a while...

    Que se passe-t-il avec le site de l'ancienne place Desaulniers ?
