Avenue always set itself on a finish date of 2017, no? They're in no rush, it's more complex than the others.

Et voici l'enseigne !

Looks great!

TDC looks rather nice from that angle.

Based on the diagram above, we know the recess on the 1250 is 137m right? And Rocabella is 147m. The gap between the two (10m) is give or take the same as the full height of the 1250 (199m) and the tip of Avenue, which would lead me to believe Avenue very well could be about 187m-189m.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It's stunning from the mountain, I was there the other night. it's so vivid.

Does anyone know when the rings will be unveiled? CTV is claiming 7pm, CBC is saying 9:30pm.

EDIT: Nevermind, Radio-Canada confirms it's 9:30pm.

It's to keep birds off it. They don't want them chipping it.

Projecting the rings onto the building? That would be so cheap and not even very "official".

Wait and see how this turns out folks.

The entire Roccabella project is $117 million. What did people expect? Considering how cheap it is, I think its quite nice.

Avenue is $200 million and TDC $230 million!

Beautiful! Love the integration of the past, with the 1976 Olympics logo.

I don't think so, it's at 37 floors by my count.

From Icone's FB page. The colour of the beige/brown looks really nice from this angle.

I walked down Drummond this evening and with Roccabella to the right, Avenue in front and TDC off behind them, it is truly a sight to behold. I actually felt a little claustrophobic, so much space just simply gone now!

What an incredible photo! Thank you Anderson!

I count about 32 residential floors, plus the 2-3 of the base? 34-35 total?

Another project that is climbing beyond the view of the webcam.

I was at the game Saturday and the weather clearly spooked some people. It wasn't that bad and the crowd was great. By the 65th minute, the storm blew in and it was a torrential downpour for basically the rest of the game. The people that didn't leave moved up under the overhang.

This needs to happen. It's great to see all these lighting projects popping up around the city (Maison Olympique, Desjardins)

I'm so glad its the Olympic rings and not the Canadian Olympic Committee's logo instead. I hope they put it on the other side as well, so it's visible from the bridges and old city!

Finis, les bureaux sombres et lugubres du Comité olympique canadien (COC) situés dans le vieux Stade olympique.

 

Le COC a annoncé jeudi l'inauguration de la nouvelle Maison olympique canadienne, qui aura pignon sur rue en plein coeur du centre-ville de Montréal. L'objectif de cette initiative consiste à rendre plus accessible l'aventure olympique en ouvrant ses portes au public.

 

La Maison olympique comportera un centre de science et de technologie du sport, qui rappellera les exploits historiques des athlètes canadiens, ainsi qu'un centre multifonctionnel à la fine pointe de la technologie qui offrira aux entreprises et organismes la possibilité d'organiser des événements de toutes sortes.

 

Située au 500, boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest à Montréal, elle sera officiellement inaugurée le 9 juillet prochain, dans le cadre de la Journée Excellence olympique. La cérémonie aura lieu en présence du président du Comité international olympique (CIO), Thomas Bach, et du président du COC, Marcel Aubut. Le point culminant de l'événement sera la montée, en soirée, des anneaux olympiques au sommet de l'édifice. Ce sera la première fois que le symbole sera installé en permanence sur un immeuble avec l'autorisation du CIO.

 

Bach sera de passage à Montréal pour la première fois depuis sa conquête de la médaille d'or à l'épreuve de fleuret par équipe lors des Jeux olympiques d'été de 1976, à Montréal. Il profitera aussi de son passage dans la métropole pour visiter les bureaux de l'Agence mondiale antidopage, fondée à Montréal en 1999 à la suite de la première conférence mondiale sur le dopage.

 

Avec la Maison olympique, le COC étend ainsi sa présence au Québec et a désormais un quartier général à Montréal, consolidant son rôle de leader à titre de première ville olympique au Canada.

It was confirmed today, it will officially open July 9 and illuminated Olympic Rings will be featured at the top of the building, the IOC gave their blessing. It will be the only tower on the planet to feature the rings! Amazing news!

Icone is really catching up from that angle!

La tour Deloitte avec ses 443 pieds (135 M) serait la plus haute de Québec' date=' Winnipeg ou Halifax.[/quote']

 

and Berlin

You can see in SkahHigh's photo, they're getting ready to put the Deloitte lettering on the East side at the top.

It should be at 8 floors by the time they go on their 2-week break at the end of July.
