I just saw this article about a 18 floor "Miami style" condo in downtown Gatineau. I don't think I saw a thread for this one. If there is let me know.

Looks like it will be right next door to "Port de Plaisance", which is another condo building that one might refer to as "Miami-style":

http://www.emporis.com/building/portdeplaisance-gatineau-canada

It was built in the 1980s, though I am not sure if it was by Groupe Heafey.

Anyway, good news if it happens.

What are the chances it gets approved.

Unless there is something I am unaware of, this is almost a sure thing. Gatineau is desperate for residential development downtown.

gjhall

It will definitely be approved, if I'm not mistaken Gatineau council essentially lifted height restrictions last year to encourage just this type of development.

Not bad, but there still needs to be more smaller to mid-scale development right downtown to fill in some of those lots.

Very true. Though this is a positive it is still some distance away from the real downtown of Hull. Most of the people who live at Port de Plaisance (right next door to the new tower) actually do most of their errands in the Byward Market in Ottawa across the river because it is closer and more convenient.

Stuff like Le Cartier-Wellington, which is right close to Promenade du Portage, is more beneficial to downtown Hull.

Although every little bit helps!

The first time I saw the rendering I actually didn't notice the cut-out in the middle of the structure. Kind of looks weird, like wall plug or something.

It rhymes well but sounds a bit weird in French for a condo building. Especially since there is only one "opening"... so the plural doesn't really fit.

Something like "La Lucarne" (opening in a building to let light in) would be better I think.

I'd love to see Gatineau have a condo boom. I'd also love to see them do more daring things with building and design than Ottawa, including building taller. If they did it may get people on the Ottawa side questioning what we're so afraid of; why we're acting like such a small town.

Sounds like Marc Bureau really wants to see some life in downtown Gatineau. He says there's another 4-5 projects in the works. It's also good to see Heafey wants to build more projects in downtown Gatineau.

Actually, downtown Gatineau is affected by the same regulation. And their last designs are really... really not that great, not to say crap.

Few months back I dropped in to chat with the builder and they said the "hole" did not exist anymore. It was to be a 2 storey spa/gym room but it ended up being sold as a one-off 2 storey unit to someone.

There aren't really any regulations per se. Only NCC attempts at coercion. We addressed in another thread recently but I cannot remember which one.

About 40 or so units are left - 70% sold. Not much ground digging done so far.

Mar 17, 2012, 5:12 PM

Well, lot of activity on the site the past few days. I guess the reason I wasn't seeing much is that all the trucks are lined up along Notre-Dame de l'Ile Street rather then Laurier. And the neighbors as expected complaning about the constant noise from the moving trucks and construction from 7 to 5 and six days a week. Yes, they are working on site on Saturdays apparently.

I have been following the construction progress for a while now.

Still not out of the ground yet. They appear to be on the 2nd level of 3 garage floors.

I can't wait to see the foot print of the first few floors. At this pace, it may take months.

Cre47

Aug 28, 2012, 11:43 PM

Speaking of this project, apparently a petition will be given to City Council tonight, asking them (and the developer) to not have construction work done during night time/early morning hours. City is permitting the developer to do some work at that time.

Article is only in French though.

Word is that the building will start coming out of the ground in late November when they get started on the first floor.

Another 2 months of waiting to see the actual footprint.

I went by the site yesterday. The ground floor cement base (without any cement wall structure) appears to be close to completion.

They removed the tall wood fencing around the site and replaced with smaller fencing including a meshed portion on the side of Port de Plaisance that allows for a good view of the progress.

Its coming up......

Drove my wife to the Galleries yesterday, and I hadn't been over to the Gatineau/Hull for a while. I didn't realize just how much density that this, the building going up on Maisonneuve (sorry about the spelling), the new office building across the bridge from Hotel De Ville, and the federal building that went up on Eddy. The main areas of Hull and Gatineau are starting to really look more like a mid-to-downtown district than they did before...more of a twin city kinda feel to it...

The first 6 floors are close to being up.

They should be starting the second section of the building shortly that covers floors 7 to 14 (no 13th) that have the large covered terraces (around 850 sq. ft.) on the west side next to Port de Plaisance.

These units are one of a kind with close to 75 linear ft. of 9 ft. high continuous floor to ceiling glass. The edge of the terrace is close to 100 linear ft.

WOW !!! - To my knowledge, there are no other condo units that can match these in the area.

True.

The two high rises I've lived in gave me great views of the city. It helps when your unit doesn't face another tower. I had a good views of sunsets and fireworks from both places.

That was a great picture harls

It would be nice to see an update now that the additional 3 floors are up (18th-19th) including the 20th floor terrace with its curved roof.

A Dr. Watson moment, "I find, when looking through my files for April 21...". I was concentrating on Loser Heaven and just barely got this.

It looks fairly tall now...is it topped out yet? I've often been surprised that there aren't more residential buildings along the river like this...

Yes as they appear to be on the 20th floor terrasse.

I thought it was only 18 floors? :shrug:

edit - I counted them and it is more than 18.. but their website says it's only 18? confusing..

edit again - on Facebook they say 18.. on leviu.ca they say 19 floors.. and you say 20! :D

These are from April 17 - from their facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Viu/195202377192593) page

le Viu is 19 floor total and 3 1/2 floor of underground parking the 19 fl is the gym the spa and. Endless pool for current swim . The confusion is cause there is no 13 fl so the last fl is number 20 . There is 135 000 sq foot of selling area and 240 000 sq foot gross total area

You are right. The 20th floor terrasse is actually the 19th floor as there is no 13th.

When you talk with the developper, they always refer to the 20th floor.

I biked past this last night and it looks absolutely great from the Alexandra Bridge! Hope to see more nice developments like this on the HUll side and for some kind of hipster community to develop around there :D! (we can hope, right?)

We do hope the area becomes more trendy :yes: especially with the Destination Gatineau project that if approved :???: could be completed by 2017 which is the intent as it would correspond with Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation.:cheers:
