Il y aura plus d'arbres que sur le Mont Royal... Et ce juste dans la phase 1 en plus. Impressive, Mr Lufty.

Ils semblent avoir laissé tomber le Parc Aquatique intérieur et la salle de spectacle multi-fonction... Je suis déçu.

⬆️ Il a dit que la phase 1 représente juste 10% du développement. Patience. On l'aura notre Disneyworld pour les riches.

L'article laisse sous-entendre que les développements subséquents seraient des tours à Bureaux, Hôtel et résidentiels.

Donc ça ben l'air qu'on a le droit à un centre d'achat de 110 boutiques, 60 restaurants, avec un Aquarium entouré de Tours.

⬆️ Il a dit qu'il va s'ajuster à ce que le marché veut.

Mr Lufty will learn "à la dure" that Montreal is no Toronto nor Vancouver. This will go down the way "Les Cours Mont-Royal" did 30 years ago. Crash, burn and end up with cheap retails. There is no place for ultra luxury in this city.

Maybe. But Montreal circa 1988 and Montreal 2023 are very different cities as is the world and consumer culture.  I never thought I would see house prices that rival Beverly Hills; when Sotheby's came to Montreal I took note that something was shifting.  When Rolls Royce and other luxury/perfomance car companies opened in Montreal I took note... there is definitely money in Montreal today that wasn't there in the 80's.  And even people with moderate wealth / some disposable income are want luxury products.   Consumer culture generally has become one of luxury for the masses.  Louis Vuitton stores are in all big malls all over the place for example. 

Montreal (downtown) has never really has a luxury run.  Sherbrooke street had a select and limited concentration but not exactly a major luxury shopping street.   Royalmount won't be cannibalizing downtown luxury stores because there aren't any (except for Holts but that a dept store and some mid-market retailers like Aritzia or Micheal Kors).   Royalmount is creating something that doesn't currently exist.  It's also not going to be exclusively luxury like a Bal Harbour Shops and it will attract a bigger pool of consumers. 

I think it remains to be seen if this will be a success or a flop.   Don't get me wrong, I too have some doubts but there is defiantly more money in the city than there was 35 years ago.

⬆️ Of course there is more money. The Dow Jones is at 34k and it was at 2k in 1988. Still Montreal lags in every aspects versus TO and Van. Mr Lufty is surrounded by friends of his tenure who convinced him that we need this and that. Lets watch and learn.

People told the Ghermezians they were crazy to build a mall in Edmonton.

Il y a toujours eu du gros argent à Montréal mais cet argent était souvent dépensé dans les boutiques de luxe de New York, Paris et Londres. Montréal offrait peu côté luxe. Cela change tranquillement, mais l'exubérance a toujours mal passé au Québec.

Why can't every city in the world get its Disneyland mall then? Im quite surprised this was not replicated everywhere, since its such a hit.
