ville-marie 900, rue Saint-Jacques – 62 étages

[SKYMTL]

My friend is working on this project.  A stop-work order has been issued to most trades from the General Contractor. 

He doesn't know any more but if I hear something I'll post.

On ne voit pas beaucoup d'activité, sauf peut-être pour la pompe à béton. 😳

Normal, voir message de SKYMTL.

Mauvaise photo dans ce cas car j'y ai vu des travailleurs sur les étages et on voit la pompe à béton en fonction ainsi que la grue qui bouge.

Cela me rassure car s'il y a un projet qui me tient à coeur c'est bien celui-là.

Yes.  But according to him, most trades that would normally be working right now are not.  At this point under normal circumstances there would be an almost continual concrete pour every day along with preparatory work on completed floors.  At this point, pouring is only happening at 1/4 speed at most and prep work on set floors isn't happening.  

There's only a few workers on the roof coordinating the most minimal pour allowed without cap setting and other than that, most of the site is sitting idle.  Initial plan was to be at 18 floors by now.

Ugh.  I hope this one doesn't get derailed.  I have high hope for this and its impact on the skyline and cityscape.  I'm anxious to see the  neo-brutalist panels of the tower portion.    Their financing should be locked in....

Canvar is probably having financial difficulties. Even Art de Vivre is on the slow side. Not much progress there too unfortunately. Lets cross fingers, 900 was a game changer. Budge said on another thread 2 years off for most new projects, even for seasoned builders like Broccolini (south block west). Look at the slow pace of Le Sherbrooke... Its an awful environnement.
