Even if it's shorter Montreal will still have a more solid skyline for a long time and seems to be growing still.

Le Carré des Arts by Sid Lee architects. This will be build adjacent to the Marché Saint-Jacques in the gay village.

Le Nuovo in Little Italy

I really like it. Why only one gay avatar couple though? ^^

Off topic question: I've never been to Montreal's Little Italy, is it worth a visit I will be in town next weekend staying in Griffin Town.

BIG NEWS! BIG NEWS!

Ottawa-Gatineau is getting a new downtown tallest, if this new proposal happens.

Because of Ottawa's strict downtown height limits, there's not much height... the tallest in the city is 112m / 29 stories (Place de Ville C).

Taller proposals, such as the now U/C Icon (45 fl) that will be the new city tallest once it completes, and the even taller Sky proposal (55 fl), have thus far been limited to the Dows Lake area a few kilometres southwest of downtown.

But apparently, the height limit does not exist in Gatineau.

So, a 55 story hotel/condo proposal has now emerged in Gatineau's core, directly across the river from Parliament and within the metro's combined CBD

This was announced a few days ago, on this very thread sir.

Yes it is. Very pleasant area to visit with lots of italian cafés and restaurants, plus the proximity of Jean-Talon Market which is charming as well. And it's easily accessible by the Jean-Talon Metro station on the Blue line.

Marché Jean-Talon is a must if you are into that kind of thing. The ambiance is fabulous and there is tons of amazing eateries.

Excellent, now rise an extra 50 floors!

Rico Rommheim · #**3472** Posted **May 10, 2015, 4:03 PM**

Nice couple of non-downtown projects for Montreal. The strength and beauty of a city mostly lay in its neighborhoods. Downtown is witnessing a skyscraper boom, but our neighborhoods are getting denser as well.

HR render of the very ugly AC Hotel now under construction in the Quartier des spectacles.

Pavlov · #**3474** Posted **May 11, 2015, 1:53 PM**

Wow, that's awful. What a shame.

GreaterMontréal · #**3475** Posted **May 11, 2015, 1:58 PM**

looks like a C-Loft style render. But the C-Loft is looking good. we could be surprised.

http://www.clofts.ca/photos.html

better looking than the rendering.

Martin Mtl · #**3476** Posted **May 11, 2015, 2:17 PM**

/\ That's true. C-Loft is actually quite nice compare to the render, same developper, same architects, so maybe, just maybe...

urbandreamer · #**3477** Posted **May 11, 2015, 2:25 PM**

Grid Condos by CentreCourt & P+S/IBI is launching soon at Dundas & Jarvis:

prelim render--may be up to 52 storeys.

WhipperSnapper · #**3478** Posted **May 11, 2015, 3:06 PM**

What a fat tower. Units must be dark, deep and narrow.

The tower with a much slimmer profile would fit well in Calgary.

The_Architect · #**3479** Posted **May 11, 2015, 3:36 PM**

Wow that's a very non-Page&Steele design right there.

WhipperSnapper · #**3480** Posted **May 11, 2015, 3:46 PM**

Yeah, not the usual inspiration used but, it's still in the same vein of Page & Steele. Mediocre in its best light.
