That building really looks like an office tower, I'm sorry to say. Still kick —!

I'm still not sure what I think of it. It has good height, but the design doesn't really do anything for me.

L'avenue looks nothing like this.

Maybe in the most vague sense of the massing, but no thankfully it looks nothing like that.

Why sorry? Office buildings usually look better than residential.

Massing guys.. massing. Very similar.

Phase two will be the signature "Tower 3" at 57 storeys and around 163 meters tall, along with another 110 meter 35 storey tower in the same phase.

Tower 3 is actually quoted as being around 175 meters tall.

^The quality of the architecture notwithstanding, that is a great news! It sure will add depth to Gatineau's skyline, which may very well be on its way to become Quebec's #2 skyline in a decade or so...

Coldrsx · #**5734** Posted **Sep 26, 2012, 10:43 PM**

ah the commie blocks of the 21st century

a single version in an urban setting fine, an entire project of them good god no

MTLskyline · #**5735** Posted **Sep 27, 2012, 12:12 AM**

I was never really a fan of that part of Gatineau, so it is definitely a major improvement.

Mount Stephen Club Hotel - 11 floors
This design dates from this month.

Quote:

Development of Mount Stephen Club and Hotel Complex

The project consists of the renovation and extension of the Mount Stephen Club on de la Montagne Street in downtown Montreal. The extension consists of the construction of an 11 storey luxury hotel in behind the Mount Stephen in order to lodge approximately 80 rooms. With new attributes such as a modern kitchen, an underground parking lot of 96 spaces and diverse amenities such as a spa and a fitness centre, the Mount Stephen Club will continue to greet members of the Montreal business community, and so, for generations.
