The last article I read in the papers on this one, a few days ago, still mentioned 38 floors.

We have height confirmation from an official city document: Le projet est un complexe immobilier mixte a forte dominance résidentielle composé de
deux tours reliées entre elles par un basilaire à vocation commerciale. La première tour,
accessible par la rue de la Montagne, compte 39 étages (145,85 mètres), tandis que la tour
2, construite du côté du boul. René-Lévesque, s’élève à 27 étages (106,85 mètres).

So, 39 storeys and 146 m. for the first tower and 27 storeys and 107 m. for the second tower.

The 146m tower is residential right? That's 3.75m per floor. Maybe the basiliaire is skewing the numbers.

But this is great news, a tower almost the height of Desjardins right smack in the middle of downtown. Good stuff.

Great news indeed. The height is a positive surprise.

It's only 21m short of Tour des Canadiens! The difference will be subtle from certain angles.

It will be interesting, the corner of de la montagne and Rene-Levesque will be the city' most impressive skyscraper intersection (if you can call it that), and certainly one of the country's also.

Not sure on that one...I'll reserve judgement till they're all built. Rene-Levesque & University is pretty cool too. PVM has a certain...je ne sais quoi that appeals to me

Thanks for reminding us how badly this site needs the Icone towers. Construction by this summer for sure!

I second that.

I went to the sales office. The guy told me it'll be U/C in early may. There was also a screen with a 3D map of Montreal centered on Icone. Had fun looking around with the thing. It'll tower gracefully when viewed from Crescent, Bishop and Drummond.

Rico Rommheim · #**114** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 6:00 AM**

Thanks for the info! 1 month before digging

Oliviermtl · #**115** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 2:11 PM**

Ils ont changé la pancarte sur le terrain pour indiquer 70% vendu. Je suis également allé voir le vendeur et celui ci me confirme le début de la construction pour la semaine du 6 mai ou du 13 mai. La 1ere tour sera livrée en 2016 et la 2e, en 2018.

uqam+ · #**116** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 2:23 PM**

Merci pour l'info, Oliviermtl !

Donc la course est lancée : Icône, Rocabella, l'Avenue, la Tour du Canadien. Les quatre projets seront construits en même temps ou à peu près... Beau ballet de grues en perspective.

Les paris sont ouverts sur le premier à sortir de terre et le premier à finir. En fonction de la hauteur et de la complexité de chaque design, je gagerais un p'tit 10$ que la 1ère tour du Rocabella sera le premier immeuble terminé du coin !

Pas difficile de percevoir ca, roccabella est la premiere a creuser.

Moi je predis dans cet ordre:

Roccabella (tour est)
Icone (tour ouest)
Avenue
La tour des Canadiens sera la dernière, du a la complexité du site

La deuxième d'Icone et de Roccabella se joignons au club peut-etre en meme temps en 2018.

Si on l'inclue dans la course, Deloitte sera la championne. Ce chantier semble sur les stéroïdes...

Oliviermtl · #**119** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 3:19 PM**

Ensuite, on va passer aux prochaines tours YUL, Babylone, Maritimes, Canadiens 2 et Windsor 2, Point Zero, Univers.... si tout va bien évidemment. On vit de beaux moments !!!

Rico Rommheim · #**120** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 3:30 PM**

Sans oublier les tours Drummond de Samcon, qui monteront a deux pas de l'Icone.
