Je compte les toilettes aujourd'hui. Yay. Ils n'ont installé que 3 des 12 toilettes au final, n'est-ce pas? Métro Papineau Vieux-Port Place Emilie Gamilin. Le plan a-t-il été annulé?

Hey Everyone, I'm using One Square Phillips as a case study in a video and could use some fact checking/help. There is a type of comment I often get "buildings shouldn't be taller than 5-10 stories because over that height they don't actually get any more useable floor space". It's obviously absolute nonsense but surprisingly common so I feel obliged to debunk it. I chose One Square Phillips because it (at first ) appeared to supply all the data I needed. Using their website's floor plans I have created this spreadsheet to tally the total residential floor area of phase 1. Unfortunately there is a discrepancy between the marketing materials, the news articles and some amendments that have happened during implementation. My estimate is off by 25 units total. Q1 I'm wondering what the current numbers are? If there is a floor-to-floor detailed breakdown somewhere? Q2 Are units and usable floor area counts know for phase 2 & 3? Q3 Is the surface area of the lot for all phases (1,2,3) 7,420m Thanks ahead of time if anyone has this rattling around their brains. Getting the numbers for all this accurate is important, because I'm also planning to use the project to test Reg 20/20/20 on the building as a "What if" scenario. But if the base assumptions are too far off the calculated numbers will swing wildly.

Hey thanks all. I remember when I first started out a video was doing the rounds on here, when I saw the comments were positive from people it really encouraged me. I'll DM you both. I think the experience of working in both cities is actually ideal for me, I'm trying to find trends and talk about stuff broadly which becomes easier when you have more points of data.

The channel is in the post but if you want the most MTLURB picks here are three

Hey Folks, long time lurker. I make YouTube videos out of Montreal, often using the city as an example to illustrate a trend... Because it's the best. The videos are about 10% weird New Zealand words and 85% stupid jokes and 5% useful content. Although my Montreal friends are all lovely people, none of them are architects, economists, planners, policy wonks or property developers. I'm looking to build some informal connections with working Montreal professionals in these fields. Essentially, the people who are in the business of building cities. Reply/Message Me If you're a person who is in one of these fields and loves it, I'd love to get a drink (in a park for the moment) and talk about ideas, get your take on things, find examples to illustrate points and just generally have a laugh. I'm also down to parle en francais, I sound like a 5 year old but love seeing the confusion on peoples faces when I say stuff like "zonage a melange usage". Anyway, hit me up!
