Anyway it's sad for it , but otherwise Sherbrooke is a nice city with a nice landscape around, but it's the only city I know of that size with a skyline that small. Even Rimouski has a better one. I rly hope that one day it will grew up there. Let's hope it.

Oh wow, that is really depressing

Chadillaccc · #**4923** Posted **Apr 22, 2012, 4:48 AM**

Agreed! They chopped its height in half and it's size looks like 1/3 of the original! Sad

Named after the developer, Madison Homes.

AFAIK, it's the first (of many) high-rise residential projects for The Madison Group. However, I'm sure the company and both Madison Avenues in Toronto and New York are named after James.

Actually, a quick google search tells me the group is headquartered at 53 Madison Avenue in Kitchener, so they're probably named after the street they work on. But I couldn't tell you why the street in Kitchener is named that. It could be named after the American president, but it could also just as easily have been named for a local resident with that surname. Regardless, we in Montreal have a street named President Kennedy so I guess we shouldn't criticize on this too much

/\ completely different developer. This is by Madison Homes. Madison Group is a much smaller developer in Kitchener.

Although, Madison Homes is also owned by a Madison Group: http://www.madisongroup.ca/

That's a stunner.

Innsertnamehere · #**4935** Posted **Apr 26, 2012, 1:04 AM**

are the oilers moving into it, or is it some other sort of arena?

rapid_business · #**4936** Posted **Apr 26, 2012, 1:10 AM**

Oilers will be. Plus other events, etc.

Innsertnamehere · #**4937** Posted **Apr 26, 2012, 2:06 AM**

then that will be the best NHL arena on the planet... that is a truly amazing design!

Dwils01 · #**4938** Posted **Apr 26, 2012, 2:33 AM**

The new arena in Edmonton is the best proposal that I've seen in a very long time.

Well, actually, like circle33 mentioned it could also fit in on a distant planet in the near future.

Maybe it should be "Welcome to the 22nd century" instead.
