    This area is already interesting! Take for example street level businesses on Notre Dame. Antique stores are a thing of the past (there's a joke in there somewhere) and now replaced with pretty cool restaurants, bars and good looking girls . Another example -- you see a lot more joggers in their 20s and 30s than you did just a few yeas ago which to me means a certain clientele is settling in the area. The projects will make the area and as you say add more critical mass.

    Nice I like it. Two things need to happen -- the city needs tear up that street, sidewalks and redo them their state is a disgrace. Graffitti removal. The building to the right needs to be cleaned up along with a bunch of others. I actually called the arronissement (South West) and there is no process in place to get graffitti cleaned up. It's basically up to the owner to take initiative.

    Bon. IF if it helps ... saw a red dumpster being unloaded and parked in front of the Hotel De La Montagne (ok ... across the street a cote du Vogue) avec un gar en hard hat orange devant le said Hotel.

    Yeah admitedly it ain't all pretty. Le Canal, Bassain, William are pretty cool and will look fine. But the Griffix and District Griffin condos are pretty horrid.

    I think this is "Destination YUL" using the murals as a way to tie Montreal (Destination YUL) with the cultural/artistic image Montreal appears to have. Kinda cool.

    So here is the upside. IF all these projects go ahead western downtown will be left with vacant lots between Guy and Mackay on the north side of RL. That is a marked improvement! Still some workto do (the old Khan site, Desjardins restaurant...) but in the right direction!

    Genre .... 12 au lieu de 50? Makes no sense if they're 50% + sold....

    We'll call out the haters soon enough ...

    Ouin ... ça va mal et si tôt après l'ouverture.

    If this much cash is spent on the sales office and all other preperations you have to think the promoters did their homework and this project will succeed. On the other hand Samcon, with much experience in Montreal, had to readjust their Drummond project...

    Bon reste L'Avenue, Icone et le Drummond dans le coin a voir monter. Bonne nouvelle!

    Au sujet des tageurs (et oui hors sujet) il me semble qu'il y a pas mal plus de graffiti ces temps si. Au long de St. Jacques vers Guy, Ste. Catherine a l'ouest de Guy me semble c'est pire qu'au paravent.

    Very cool. I think a 45/35 story configuration or something along those lines would have made it more visually interesting. But that's just quibbling.

    I'm sure there's a thread for this piece of land but too lazy to look. In Saturday's Gazette a report on a new Preval projet on the former Franciscan church site. Suspects are apparently already complaining though that's a small piece of the report. MONTREAL - A vast tract of downtown land, left partially empty after the site’s historic Franciscan church was destroyed in a 2010 blaze, could be reinvented as two 18-storey condo towers. Groupe Prével, the developer that transformed the former Seville theatre near the old Forum into a sold-out multi-phase condo project, has an option to buy part of the site on the south side of René Lévesque Blvd., west of Fort St. and the entrance to Highway 720. The Prével project — which would include a 330-square-metre public park on part of the site — would require the city of Montreal to change the zoning from institutional to residential. “We’ve had internal discussions with the planning department and they seem positive about it,” said Jonathan Sigler, a co-founder of the urban condo developer, which has also built the Lowney project in Griffintown. “But obviously, this is going to go through a public consultation.” The project comes at a time when the city of Montreal, along with other local muncipalities, is under fire for fast-tracking residential development at the expense of green space and such services as schools and daycares in areas like Griffintown. Sigler said Prével’s project would balance development with the need for green space, by creating the park and maintaining the woods in the back of the site known as the jardin des Franciscains. “Nothing would be knocked out,” Sigler told The Gazette. But some residents in nearby Shaughnessy Village have already called on city officials to “firmly oppose the project” and come up with a plan oriented toward better public access to the site instead of for “building condo towers.” Through the deal with the Franciscans, Prével would acquire only part of the site, which includes two heritage buildings used by commercial tenants. The religious order, which first stepped foot in Quebec nearly 400 years ago, would continue to own these two buildings. The historic Franciscan church was destroyed in an early-morning fire more than three years ago. News reports said the religious order had ceased holding services at the aging church, and abandoned the building in 2007 because it couldn’t afford the $5 million in needed repairs.

    Awesome. I look at the front and see The William crane. From the back bbqing I see this project's crane and soon the downtown cranes will pop up. One for the ages.

    Very cool bruno44. At 42 stories the TOM will block out a good chunk of PVM!

    Awesome pic CFurtado. Just wondering from that vantage would we see the proposed QDS tower? Would probably be aligned roughly behind the Marriott I think.
  21. swansongtoo
    The crane's height is not final is it? I counted what I thought was about 12 floors.
  22. swansongtoo
    Looking down from the CCE the site is quite impressive. While try to take pics once in a while. Look forward to when all sites are active!
