rufus96 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 This is nothing short of long overdue. That mall is the epitome of dead, especially the part that is slated for redevelopment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclaw Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Single-family homes? Really? In an area featuring tall residential buildings, they're going with single-family homes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTLskyline Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I guess there is always a demand for houses. Hopefully they won't be of the Quartier Dix30 variety though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKYMTL Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Looks like the development will be a mix of townhouses, two to three story condo buildings and huge mansions (judging by the terrain sizes). Massive waste of space in a high-demand area IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclaw Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 All because the city of CSL didn't want apartment/condo towers out of fear it would increase traffic in the area. The Cavendish Mall people rightfully pointed out that the increase in traffic would be no greater than what existed at the height of the mall's popularity. Stupid city officials. Stupid stupid stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosey12387 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I don't think it's stupid at all. There is more demand than supply of single family homes in the area. It's another way to keep people out of moving to the west island or Laval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclaw Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) The desirability/demand for single-family homes in the middle of downtown is probably astronomical, but that doesn't mean any single-family homes will be built there soon (or ever) and with good reason. The land is simply too valuable/useful to be "wasted" on small houses. (Of course, zoning doesn't permit it either. But you get the point.)
