Great picture! Didn't realize Montreal's skyline was so spread out, and I've been there myself!

Montreal has the Calgary effect going on in my opinion, where from some angles you can't appreciate the density and size of the skyline. This is the first picture that has truly impressed me regarding the size of Montreal's skyline. Of course, at street level, Montreal is more than impressive!

Gotta admit, that view of Montreal is pretty sweet, the new buildings and spread out skyline really improve the aesthetics. A big improvement in the past 3 years!

Nouvellecosse · #**7190** Posted **Sep 10, 2015, 7:06 PM**

In don't find that view as impressive as some of the Cartier bridge views but better than from the mountain. It's improving a lot from the addition of buildings in the western part of downtown.

Montreal's Downtown is a lot more spread from East to West than North to South, which is why you get that effect.

This is one of the best Montreal skyline shots yet. What we see here is the rise of the western edge of the downtown core. The eastern edge is already looking weak in this picture, in 2-3 years it will look pathetic.

Aren't there some projects in the east too? Like the new office tower beside Place des Arts?

The AC Hotel (120m) right after the Courtyard. It'll appear from that angle between the Courtyard and the first Desjardins tower.

GreaterMontréal · #**7199** Posted **Sep 11, 2015, 12:03 AM**

No, they're looking for tenants. 750 Peel will be serious competition though. Plus there's the NFB building going up soon right up the street.
