Je ne trouve plus les évocations qu'on avait vu au départ, mais c'était vraiment un projet avec le souci du détail et des éléments jamais vus à Montréal comme signature architecturale. Je suis vraiment déçu que tout ce qui faisait de ce projet un beau projet soit coupé et au final semble-t-il que nous aurons un projet générique.

J'avais sérieusement envisagé acheter dans ce projet, aucun regret maintenant. C'est vraiment dommage que tout soit coupé, coupé, coupé

You seem to be thinking, correct me if I'm wrong, that a render could be composed of elements not discussed or requested by a client, and then go directly from an architecture office to a real estate sale website owned by this very client without any prior aproval by him... 

I work in architecture. Unless the architect IS the developer, let me tell you that cannot happen. Clients review everything, and specifically ask for everything to look as luxurious as possible. Finishes can be suggested, proposed, researched and tested by architects or designers, but decisions sleep with money. 

Renders can definitely be composed of elements not discussed or requested by a client, in the hopes that they will decide to proceed with what is being proposed. Clients will always ask for their project to look as luxurious as possible... while respecting their budget. This is an important nuance that is hardly ever respected. More often than not, it's only once the proposed materials and finishes are costed/estimated that the client begins to realize that it doesn't make sense to proceed with what is being put forward. 

As you know, this process doesn't happen overnight and, in the meantime, the developer wants to begin sales and get their building up ASAP to maximize ROI. As a result, the renders that are available at the time are the ones that are shared with the general public to promote the project.

Don't get me wrong, there are definitely cases where the developer makes a conscious decision to reduce quality so that they can maximize profits, but I don't think that that's the case here. It's easy for an architect to say the client is cheap when they propose the best-of-the best and then the client realizes that they can't afford it so the quality has to be reduced. It's also easy to call someone cheap when it's not your money I guess lol... Meanwhile, Lemay are the first ones to charge des honoraires supplémentaires if they spend 5 minutes more on a project than they were supposed to...

I find it a bit unfair to slam the developer like this. Lemay is well-known for presenting renders and interior finishings that are not really in line with their clients' budget. The real problem is that those unrealistic photos were shared with the general public. A project like this costs a lot of money and there is a very fine line between making a profit and losing money. 

Tu sais qu'est ce que LeMay a fait? Il a fait le projet ''the bank'' sur St-Jacques ou il y a eu des hypothèques légales, et dont il est actionnaire a 50% dans le projet avec des condos acheter pour lui même. Des gens ont de la misère a les revendre a cause des problèmes qu'il y a eu dans la conception...

Pretty amazing to see three distinct architectural eras side-by-side. Southam Building was probably considered a skyscraper in its early days. Mosaique (345 de la gauchetiere) is from 2006 but it might as well be 1986, not my cup of tea.

J’aurais vraiment aimé que Bleury soit beaucoup plus large avec plus de lumière ça aurait été excellent.
