Rocco Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Début de rénovation du centre commercial Promenades Cathédrale, entre le La Baie et le Centre Eaton. Il s'agit de la 2e refonte de ce centre commercial depuis son ouverture en 1988. La première refonte avait eu lieu à la fin des années 90. On arrache tout, et on r'commence. Ça tombe bien, le centre en arrache. Plus de 50% de locaux vacants. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalx Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Didn't they convert like 2 floors of retail into parking the last time they renovated? I recall the grand-ness of the original space (high 80's glam) and it became a glorified corridor with boutiques and services; a connector between the Bay and Eaton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the grand-ness of the original space (high 80's glam) and it became a glorified corridor with boutiques and services; a connector between the Bay and Eaton. They did convert. They still have a pic of what it looked like before, near the Dollarama. There was a gigantic food hall in the basement level and they even had a scene for bands to play with water running around it. Arches recalling the cathedral were put on the ceiling along the corridors. 80s excentricity to its maximum. But the space felt empty as the middle of the place was a huge open area looking down the food court, and no place for big retail. The feeling of the space can still be felt in the parking garage underneath, which took the space of the food court. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator mtlurb Posted September 1, 2022 Administrator Share Posted September 1, 2022 Je vais montrer mon âge là, mais quand cette place était rénovée... c'était le centre d'achat le plus hot en ville ou presque. C'est fou comment ça a changé. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Ils scrappent le plancher et on peut constater que lors de la réno de la fin 90s, ils avaient posé la nouvelle céramique (beige) directement par dessus l'ancienne (mauve/rose). En ce moment, ils scrappent les deux couches de céramique jusqu'au béton. La céramique originale mauve foncée peut encore être vue dans les escaliers menant aux édicules. Ce sont les derniers vestiges de la version originale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur_MA Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Je préférais nettement la première version à la deuxième. Il y avait plus de volume. Enfin, du renouveau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
