L'escalier sur le marquee me fait penser à l'edicule TKTS à New York. C'est un beau geste architectural, un point culminant en plein milieu du quartier des spectacles.

I'm pretty sure Hilton scrapped the Denizen chain after they were sued by Starwood Hotels for taking trade secrets and confidential information to build the brand.

 

That being said, perhaps (just a theory) this new Hilton was actually the originally proposed spot for the Denizen Montreal.

You're right, according to Google anyway, as to the demise of the brand.

Still, if the brand was to be concurrent with W, or similar, I can't imagine they picking a location like Mackay and Rene Levesque, which is far from fashionable.

Sure is a lot of Hilton in downtown Monteal:

 

Hilton Bonaventure

Waldorf Astoria (de Hilton)

Hilton Garden Inn (de Hilton)

Embassy Suites Montreal (de Hilton)

And now: New Hilton Montreal

Si je ne me trompe pas, il y avait aussi le "Denizen", une autre marque d'hilton?

Les gargouilles et cariatides de l'édifice sont superbe. C'est le meme promoteur de Gilette et Wilson lofts?

C'est "Mo" pour Jim Morrison?

Quelqu'un peut trouver le vieux thread du projet?

Hmm. Given that Hilton owns the Waldorf-Astoria brand, it seems odd that they would build two major properties three blocks from one another.

Being a project associated with Panzini, I won't hold my breath.

As someone living in New Jersey, I assure you that Philly fans - regardless of the sport - are both classless and white trash. They best part of last night was the stadium full of disappointed fans. Not a Montreal championship, but an okay consolation prize.

I thought I would add a metro map that I MS Paint'ed at work today. Extensions on the blue line to Montreal-Ouest and Pie IX, yellow line extended to Mcgill and down towards Griffintown, and the orange line extended two stations to Bois Franc. Also included are the three tram lines called for in the most recent Plan du Transport.

I based the style on the GO Transit map. I think it looks very clean.

Couldn't get station names in, MS Paint bad for labeling.

En regardant le site de l'OCPM, j'ai trouvé un document deposé par la ville pendant la consultation sur l'ilot seville que j'avais jamais vu.

Il expose les grandes lignes d'un reamenagement eventuel du quartier. C'est fort encourageant, étant donné la décrépitude du secteur.

The stock photo at the top is almost certainly taken from the MoMA in New York looking above the sculpture garden. Bizarre.

Est-ce que les rendus datent de 2005?

euh, c'est difficile à dire. Moi, je dirais North Jersey, mais, en fait, la ville ou j'habite (Red Bank) se trouve en plein milieu. Mais tout le monde travaille à New York, alors, on dit North Jersey. Les touristes l'appellent jersey shore...

Désolé de threadjacker

Le Palais de Justice n'est pas vraiment brutaliste. C'est plutot du style international-modern.

Je suis lurker depuis longtemps, mais c'est aujourd'hui mon premier post! Sorry for the bad french!
