The skyline also stayed dormant for a good 20 years (1994-2014) save for a handful of highrises here and there. I think the boom is coming to an end though, but that was a good run.

Not quite yet, it looks like a second wind is starting to gear up for 2017-18.

Not at all indeed, TDC2, YUL 2, Icone 2 (hopefully soon), De Montagne project (2 towers) 1175 Mackay, another in front of that on R.L, all the stuff on Griffintown, Children's hospital project, etc...

Plus Union sur le parc, a half dozen 20ish storeys in Griffintown, Carré Saint-Laurent in the Quartier des spectacles and more residential towers in the same sector (Myriade UC, Loft des arts starting soon), plus the numerous projects in the Quartier International (400 dowd and of course the gorgeous Humaniti). Also the Drummond twins, the Stanbrook, Evolo X... I'd say the boom is just starting!
Add to this a dozen or two projects in the peripheral neighbourhoods and along the Decarie expressway, TMR, and Ville St-Laurent. The neighbourhoods are filling up and the downtown is expanding west and south.
And with the new CBC building on papineau and the upcoming restructuring of the eastern districts between old Montreal and the Jacques-Cartier bridge...

All these projects, It's quite amazing honestly and the city needed this badly. I mean Griffintown went from a sketchy abandoned place to a new hip neighbourhood downtown, Bell Centre area went from looking like Detroit to a beefy modern neighbourhood, the creation of QDS, downtown expanding west and south like you mentioned, all the new shops, a beautiful renaissance

That's one beautiful thing that came out of this housing bubble, it really polished up our city regions into beautiful gems. Turning dirty de-industrializing neighbourhoods into liveable enjoyable spaces.
