ville-marie Le Sherbrooke - 25 étages

[SameGuy]

That’s great, except the “Château Grosvenor” is basically a slum in a high rent area. The tree in the courtyard provides pleasant shade for all the heroin addicts. The owner of the building is a slumlord and people generally stay in this building for less than two years. It would be wonderful if a modern developer bought this property and integrated the old façade with a modern high-rise building.

Montreal seems ro be the paradise of slumlords. Probably a heritage from its Mafia & corruption heyday that prevails to a certain extent til now. Vice city 100%. Nobody cares.

That's awful. I had thought the building was renovated a few years ago -  a client of mine - a long term resident had to move due to the renovation, he said. The architecture is a beauty.  I would think is protected on its face.

No, but you shouldn't base your opinions on the low-quality renders that are publicly available.

Vas faire un tour aux USA avant de lancer des exagérations pareils.

Je voudrais bien, mais la frontière est fermée.

I can well remember the "slums" of Montreal in the 1950s - basically  south of the CPR tracks. The urban renewal has been one of the best if not the best in North America with mixed low rise social / co-op  housing and renovation that created the gentrification of the Pointe, St Ann's /Griffintown, Pointe St Charles  and Old Montreal. I would be interested in knowing here the true slums are located.

Je serais bien content qu'un skyscraper vienne cacher cet immonde mur de béton qui s'étire sur 35 étages. 

À ce compte là, je préfèrerais même une murale de Patof ou de Vermicelle plutôt que de raser le Grosvenor. 

[Ti-Pierre]

Cet immeuble est magnifique c'est celui en arrière qui devrais être rasé à la place

Qui parle de raser le Grosvenor? On veut juste lui ajouter une Gros(se) tour par dessus.
