Wow! That stretch of Hymus is really exploding. It started well before the announcement of the REM (Le Cambridge and the townhouses on the south side were built ~10 years ago) but certainly the arrival of the REM has spurred even more development. This fits in with Pointe-Claire's master plan for the area, they want to replace light industry on Hymus with residential development and leave the commercial/industrial on the service road of the 40 (trans-canadienne). Let's hope the bus service will also improve in the area otherwise traffic on St Jean will get even worse than it already is.

Le parc est finalement ouvert! Nice tribute to Tony Proudfoot. They also maintained a "natural" area of the woodland which is nice to see.

Photo of the site with the Horizon in the background. Will have an interesting impact on this very residential single-family-detached-home neighborhood!

Photos prises le 14 aout du quartier et des condos.

I remember reading a few years back when Le Manoir was for sale that Pointe-Claire wanted the land for residential development. Then Sergakis bought it and he said planned to keep Le Manoir going. But now with COVID decimating restaurants and bars, I agree that it's only a question of time before it happens. Who know, Sergakis himself may want to build some residential development there just like he is proposing for St Catherine near Fort. I would imagine that there is provincial funding/approval required for any highway overpass? Isn't that provincial jurisdiction? You're absolutely right, there is already one building well under way.

A few more shots from yesterday (Aug 25th). Lots of room for future phases.

I was in the area recently and took some photos of the park. The area is really coming along (photos prise le 14 aout).

Je suis tout a fait d'accord avec toi. Deux poids, deux mesures?

GROUP HUG!!!! (while respecting social distancing) 😆

Ha! Hopefully some kind mod will move this to "En Construction" soon!! Where's a mod when you need one? 😜

Anyone know what this is? I imagine it will be rentals since it has gone up with no signs indicating purchases of condos or anything else. Or maybe it will be someone's large house. 😆 Either way, this area of Pointe-Claire is absolutely exploding with developments! Quartier Greenwich, OneWest, Brivia at the old Mazda dealership, etc.

Le debut de la construction des maisons de ville! Pics from Aug 14th.

Pics from Aug 14th, a couple more floors have gone up.

A couple more photos of the townhouses being built. Also the Tony Proudfoot park is still not open. I'll be the first to go with my kids when it does! 😁

Thanks for the update. Hopefully will be something more visually appealing than the Nest Condos on Crescent! I totally agree with you that accessibility to the REM will need to be improved. I live in the area and it's really challenging to move around the major arteries without a car. A couple of pedestrian/bike overpasses at key junctures would really help.

Nouveau projet de Brivia sur le site de l'ancien concessionaire Mazda 2-20 à Pointe-Claire. This is a large site so it will be interesting to see what Brivia is proposing. I'm hoping at least 10 stories and better quality than the Nest Condos on Crescent. This is right across the street from the Quartier Greenwich where they are currently building 10 story apartment buildings.

Je pense que ca commence deja a changer. Surtout a Pointe-Claire. Exemple:

So looks like Phase 3 is completed. There are also townhouses being built just behind. The Tony Proudfoot park is still not open (work was delayed due to COVID).

Ok this project is definitely taking off! These pics are over a week old (from July 7th) but you can see that it is happening. I'll get some more recent shots next time I go by.

This was funny to read! The level of intellect on this site always impresses me. Bravo à tous! 👍 😀🙌

+1000000000000!!! Other than 1000 DLG and 1250 RL totally agree with you that we need audacity for the future. I'm confident it will come with the direction we are in!!

Unfortunately 2 wrongs don't make a right. 😆

Wow! Gorgeous pics @Jasonzed, thank-you for posting!

They might be waiting for the city to fix the sidewalk first? 🤷‍♂️

OMG that brick combination...I guess there was some "jaune-pipi" bricks leftover from Griffintown that nobody wanted. I just hope it looks better in person???
