Montreals neverchanging skyline, finally changes.

haha.. jokes.. I love it.

We got some more 30-40 scrapers on the way, so it will change even more. Nothing dramatic, but still.

I'd define high-rise as 25 floors plus. Mid rise 12-25. IMO

Dont wanna burst your bubble, but were headed into a serious double dip recession, and if those towers havent started, or sold out yet, I dont see much hope of anything starting, when the Bank of Canada, is planning on jacking up interest rates, to keep people from borrowing money they may not have the means to pay back..
But big ups to the new tower, looks real slick and looking forward to part two....

Construction has began on altitude (33) and im pretty sure altoria(32) and the mariotte(40) are all done deals at this point.

I hope it's the start a trend... I don't remember the last time we had 3 towers of 30+ floors U/C.

The Marriott could be our tallest U/C in 18 years.

Those Icon condos look really nice! I especially like how they're white... you don't see that very often these days.

^as an owner of a similar 'white' stucco condo though, i can attest that it takes short time to become dusty off white.

Had you not told me that those two towers were new, I'd have pegged them as being built in the '70s. Not bad though.
