ville-marie Place de la Cité Internationale, phase 2 (2007)

[jesseps]

L'affiche a seulement 18 étages.

 

 

That ad is as old as Quebec itself (not really). Thing is. It has been there for many years now

[mtlurb]

L'image est un croquis grossier, chaque etage represente environ 2 etages en realite.

Il y a deux étages par «carrés» de vitres.

Pour Noël, je nous souhaite comme cadeau l'annonce des débuts des travaux pour cette tour en 2008! Quel beau square victoria nous aurions!!!

If I were Westcliff, I would be embarrased to put that up; That post-modern design is almost 20 years old now. Frankly, it wasn't nice then and it certianly isn't now. They HAVE to re-design it.

C'est en plein ça. Les fenêtres couvrent chacunes deux étages!

I think we pretty much all agree with you on that one. It's just that we've been waiting for soooo long for a 30+ office tower in this city, that we are almost willing to accept anything...I know I 'm gettin' a little desperate!

For me, I'd rather have an empty lot and wait for something that is quality and timeless - especially when it is on such a pretigious spot.

c'est vrai que c'est probablement la place d'affaire la plus spéciale au pays. c'est très subjectif comme idée, évidemment, mais où d'autre trouverait-on une relativement grande place publique verte, une tour de 50 étages ainsi que d'autres tours d'envergure, un métro, une autoroute, hôtels de luxe avec terasses, et un quartier unique et historique comme le vieux montréal (qui commence sur McGill & St-Jacques)?

 

J'avais jamais pensé à ça avant (comme habsfan j'avais juste hâte de voir une nouvelle grande tour voir le jour), mais c'est vrai que ce coin unique doit garder la totalité de son prestige - ou sinon l'augmenter

Corporations don't have feelings. Haven't you seen the documentary "The Corporation?"

 

All corporations care about is their return to shareholders, which is why they make terrible architects and urbanists.

 

It makes me very sad when I hear someone express their "faith" in corporations to make a better world.
