It was a joke. Sigh. Why is everyone so testy lately?

Goddamn it looks sexy from that angle.

Fantastic article

Très classe! Wow!

If you look at the live cam of Tour des Canadiens, on the right hand side you can see they're still building the new sales office for L'Avenue. Work WILL NOT begin on the site until that new sales office is completed. Everyone take a deep breath and calm down, this tower WILL RISE.

On SSP, LeftCoaster (who works for Cadillac-Fairview) claims this is an old rendering.

Looks pretty great! What a changed area we're looking at

Fantastic news!

They have begun putting a new finish on the parking garage, like they said they would. It looks so much better if you ask me!

Fantastic article.

Altoria hides that ugly building behind it so well! Thank God haha

The comments aren't all glowing, either Then again, Philly-people seem to be stereotypically unimpressed by everything

I saw it the other night and it looked like the top floor had blue lighting. I cannot wait to go see this thing all lit up.

New CIBC logo on Tour CIBC!

I saw it last night and it looks TERRIBLE. I really hope they have more planned.

They're gonna hit the metro at this rate.

They said it will be under construction by April 2014. Go read previous pages!

Ils attendent tout simplement que leur nouveau bureau des ventes soit prêt de l'autre côté de la rue. Je suis passé devant et le nouveau bureau est effectivement en construction. De plus, la roulotte de chantier est maintenant sur le site, donc, tout est prêt pour débuter.

 

Ne pas oublier que le projet a été lancé il y a à peine un an, il est donc tout à fait normal que le début de la construction se fasse dans les prochains jours, on se calme !!!

Thank you Olivier. This has been said countless times. They will not begin construction until their new Offices are opened. Someone else reported mid-October for a start date. CALM DOWN PEOPLE! THIS ONE WILL BE BUILT!

The rumour is Roland Emmerich will shoot it here (it would be his 3rd film to be shot in Montreal, after Day After Tomorrow (2004) and White House Down (2013), but Will Smith will not return to star in it.

«d'ici cinq à sept ans»

What. A. JOKE.

Square-Victoria métro station to get new name

MONTREAL — Mayor Laurent Blanchard said Tuesday that the Square Victoria métro station would be renamed to include the organization that sits on top of it.

 

Blanchard said at the opening session of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that the station would be re-christened Square-Victoria-ICAO.

 

The mayor called the United Nations body, in Montreal since 1944 in one guise or another, “something of a hidden gem.” Many Montrealers are unaware of its existence, or under-appreciate its importance, he said.

 

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois was also renamed — sort of.

 

Roberto Kobeh Gonzalez, president of the governing council of ICAO, introduced Marois as “the premier of Canada” as the sovereignist Quebec premier sat next to him with a pinched look.

 

She got her own back, arguing in her speech that an independent Quebec would be worthy of hosting such an important institution.

Are you KIDDING ME?! What did the PQ do with the report the Liberals had drawn up between 2009-2012? I take my kind words back. What a FARCE.

Remember, it was the PLQ that had this study done in 2009 - a committee was set up to analyze extending blue east, buckle orange and extend yellow east and maybe west. After the PQ won in 2012, they were the ones who were handed the report, and suggested not acting on it. We're now getting the announcement, so I'll be the first to say it: Good on the PQ for following through! And thanks to the Liberals for having the report drawn up in the first place. Now let's build some metro stations!

Moment Factory is brilliant, now I'm REALLY excited to see this thing!

BEST news in a long time. I really thought they had just scrapped it altogether. Amazing news!
