8.5 million seems a bit expensive for a 3 floor project doesn't it?

The main ingredient missing seems to be capital, we need more investors to help the local startups develop great products in Montreal.

Interesting. Here in Vancouver there is a good deal of medical research, but little or next-to-nothing at the production/product development level. I wish Montreal all the success in the world, and hope you'll wish a little bit of it for us, too. We could use it!!

They are talking about towing to a dry dock and doing a complete Reno of the thing, not just sticking some slot machines in it and calling it a day.

Sounds like its already a done deal...

Boat casino idea for harbour floated by Hamilton businessman
'A casino is in first place right at the moment, but I'm not going to forget the roots of this thing.'

By Cory Ruf, CBC News Posted: Feb 6, 2013 7:33 PM ET Last Updated: Feb 6, 2013 7:44

A businessman wants to turn a Toronto white elephant into a jewel of Hamilton's harbour — and possibly furnish it with a casino.

Don Maga is purchasing an old 85,000-square-foot cruise ship from John Letnik, who operated the boat as Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant for more than 30 years.

“I've got a passion for it,” said Maga, a Hamilton resident whose company, Seltomar International, works on product development in China. “I love boats, but obviously this is a very special one.”

The City of Toronto shut down Captain John's in 2012. In late June, Letnik admitted he was behind in taxes to several city agencies, including the port authority, and has been looking for a buyer.

Maga wouldn't disclose how much he's paying for the ship. He plans to have it towed to Heddle Marine in Hamilton. Then he'll refurbish it inside and out, and install it as a tourist attraction at the city's Pier 8.

The goal, he said, is to convert the boat into an entertainment venue that would house a casino, adding he's partnered with investors from the United States and China to put together a formal proposal.

New project on René-Lévesque: a 18 storeys office building for the Quebec office of Telus. By Lemay architects. Gold Leed, apparently. It will be build on an existing surface parking lot that will also see the construction of the Ilôt Overdale condo project (thanks to UrbMtl on mtlurb for the scoop)
