C'est horriblement long... surtout qu'il manque encore une phase on dirait : le bas de l'escalier, qui date du MAC. Ils auraient forcé un peu et on aurait un marché de Noël...

Tell me about it, didn't this renovation start back in 2008, God I miss the old fountain.

This area really needed a nice project like this one.

What we know of Prével's proposition looks much better for me. I'm of the opinion that not everything has to be about heights and skylines. Curious to see how the Oakridge project translates at street-level. Looking at the surroundings, such a proposition would work way better for Place Vertu, imho. 

Well I look forward to seeing what the other phases look like.

I'm just not 100% sold on the design.

Looking good, I assume they'll finish the part near the Biosphere eventually?

Oooh il en reste. Hertz, terminus Mansfield, parking coin R-B et St-Antoine, cité Internationale, parking en face du 21e, Bureau en gros, pour n’en nommer que quelques-uns.

Viger et Jeanne-Mance

After speaking with Concordia reps about the project, (my real estate professors and associate deans who were involved with the failed bids) i found out that Concordia did bid for the land many times not just twice and they were outbid in the end. The CSU which is separate from the board of governors of Concordia were the ones whining to the news. The school has no more space and is thinking about acquiring another piece of land nearby to build another tower 25+ floors minimum. This is because JMSB is 15 floors and built in 2009 and is already full 10 years later. It seems the school wants to avoid the same mistakes as last time by building a taller building. The two pieces of land of interest by the school are the 2140 Rue Guy Parking lot and the Parking lot behind Restaurant Beatrice where the proposed Waldorf Astoria Montreal was. I do not know the height limits of these two lots so if anyone has that information that would be great so we could know if that's feasible.  

When I was at Concordia a few years ago the 8th floor in the JMSB was still not in use. Have they finally opened it?

Something like Vancouver House in that spot would be amazing.

I am the only one thinking the PVM needs a good spray to clean it up?

Or a re-clad a la First Canadian Place.

Good lord!

I wouldn't mind a second tower if one was taller then the other, but please no more twins in that area.

Wow that first photo!

Looked like Detroit wasteland

Pourquoi ne suis-je pas du tout excité de cette nouvelle? Ou même de UNIQLO en soi?

Am I missing something?

Best store ever!!! Quality clothing and fair prices. Japanese design at it best.

Now we need MUJI.

Wow what a nice surprise, hopefully they can do something with the lot across the street.

Lord I need to dig and find photos of this view when I was at Concordia 8 years ago.

That parking lot is screaming for a tower to be built.

You need to look around more if that is one of the ugliest things you ever seen. 

Thats my opinion....

I usually keep my mouth shut to avoid being negative, but this is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen.

Sorry but for real.

Really like this project, looks like really good materials will be used.

Absolutely love this angle!!! Looks amazing.

The skyline or the bridge 😜

The bridge 😜

Best view of the skyline in my opinion is driving in on the Champlain bridge.

Will be even better when it's completed.

What a stunning architectural project!!

Flashback: These were taken in 1992 on glorious 35MM film. Looked way better back then, I think. 

We may have the corner entrance back. 

Holy smokes, this place is like a 1980's hair style.

Where was the M&S, I wish they'd return to North America, their food halls in the UK are amazing.
