Delusional, it will never be anything like the Byward market, that’s 186 years of unplanned history right there. And what does "luxury condos" mean? Seems nearly every project uses that expression. They should try to get as many affordable condos down there (<200 to 350). Right now, affordability is the only advantage for Gatineau, especially when you consider the high provincial tax rate.
