MONTRÉAL :: Les Projets

[MolsonExport]

WOW! How long has it been since the skyline received such a makeover?
Great! Now just some more infill, and a peak tower in the middle...

[G.S MTL]

what a difference it will make!

i TRIED a rendering myself lol

[G.S MTL]

a nite one too!!
i did my best!!

[hockey rules!]

Wow j'aime vraiment le rendu dans la nuit! Je trouve le skyline de Montréal de cet angle tout simplement magnifique. En regardant cette photo, je suis pas mal content que la ville garde cette limite de hauteur. Une tour plus haut viendrait complètement débalancer le skyline au complet.

[Martin Mtl]

L’arrondissement de Ville-Marie amorce sa réflexion sur le devenir du centre-ville. L’objectif principal du Cadre de révision des hauteurs et densités du centre-ville est de soutenir le dynamisme du développement immobilier au centre-ville, et notamment celui de l’habitation.

Avec la révision proposée, le potentiel constructible du centre des affaires et son pourtour immédiat s’élèverait à 13 500 logements et 750 000 m² de bureaux, et ce, en excluant les projets déjà approuvés.

Au total, 33 zones de hauteur et 9 zones de densité seront modifiées, dans les secteurs Est, Ouest et Sud du centre des affaires et sur le flanc sud du mont Royal. Le développement de nombreux terrains vacants est encouragé par des rehaussements de limites de hauteurs ou de densité, et des réductions de hauteur sont préconisées pour assurer une meilleure protection du patrimoine et des vues vers le mont Royal.

Ci-bas: en bleu, les projets déjà approuvés par la ville, en rouge, ce qui pourra désormais se construire en terme de hauteur et de densité sur les terrains vacants du centre-ville.

whoa! thank you! This is awesome.


A slight correction though, the tower should be a little bit to the west. So in this pic it would overlap with the CCE 1 and the crystal.

G.S MTL & lake of the nations, vous êtes fort les boys. J'aimerais avoir 10% de votre talent et pouvoir dessiner ou faire des montages réaliste moi aussi, mais malheureusement on dirait que ce don n'est pas donné à tout le monde

[mr.John]

next assignment is the Marriott and Altitude




altitude is a little difficult because I don't think more than a third of the building will be visiable

You should add the Marriott to this photo, its going to fill up the nice gap between CD and Tour de la Bourse.

[Rico Rommheim]

sheesh, I remember a couple months ago, I was all excited over the 136m Marriott. Now, its peanuts. 40 floors? Pfff. Gimme 61 or more!

Remember a couple years back, when we got all excited with the announcement of the Louis Boheme...at 28 floors!

[Rico Rommheim]

Yeah, I think it was when the L-B got going that I really started being sick of the 28 storey 'mental' height limit. It was the 400 Sherbrooke that broke it all with a surprising 37 storey height. I remeber way back on SSP when it was first scooped. I didn't believe it.

[MTLskyline]

I remember way back when we were all excited about the fugly Tours Lépines, the Roc Fleuri and the Beaux-arts condos. I would take the Louis-Bohème any day over those. (I really dislike the Tour Lépines... The worst part is that they are visible from Mount Royal!)

Of course the most exciting at the time was the 1300 Rene-Levesque Ouest!

Here is a new project at the corner of Sherbrooke West and Cavendish in NDG. (is this where the Provigo is?)

^ oh yeah that chicago-inspired gold-clad 50 storey-ish tower. The 1300's design was an insult to human eyes, glad that never panned through.

Hmmm! It seems to be south-west of Sherbrooke and Cavendish. Like behind the taller building (from Sherbrooke's perspective)

I did it a couple of months back even though it's not the same pic (but pretty much the same vantage point). I just noticed it should be taller, gotta correct this. I might as well add the other proposed or U/C stuff.

EDIT: just added the Cadillac Fairview project and fixed the height of the Marriott. I can add whatever will be visible from the Champlain, gotta check that (maybe parts of Altitude and Altoria, probably W-A and 1 or 2 office towers such as Union, SNC or FTQ)

[Rico Rommheim]

Remember that one by Serge, still the best montreal skyline pic ever taken so far.

[le calmar]

^ Yeah, I can't figure out how he managed to take a pano from the Champlain bridge. He had to be stuck in the traffic. The pic is getting old but the skyline didn't change much since then (I just checked on Google maps and the 400 is not visible from there) so I'll use it to add the new stuff.
