Better quality. Nice to see this part of Montreal adding so many new residents. It was practically deserted after 6pm outside festival season before.

^thanks for that. I actually kinda like it, but a lot of the end result will rely on the quality of the cladding. Based on what we’ve seen in Montreal so far, it’ll probably be very average.
From 2010 to 2025, Montreal will have essentially more than doubled its existing skyline of 150m+ towers:
200m range:
1) Victoria sur le Parc (200m)
2) Tour Banque Nationale (~200, no official height released)
3) Maestria 2 (202m per building permit application)
4) 1 Square Phillips (197m)
160-180m range:
1) Tour de Canadiens 1 (built - 167m)
2) Tour de Canadiens 2 (built - 168m)
3) Tour de Canadiens 3 (u/c - 168m)
4) 455 Rene Levesque Phase 2 (presumably in the 160m range based on 45 floors at +/- 3.5m average floor-to-floor)

I guess 455 Rene levesque is 144 metres. (Ground 6 m, 44 X 2.95 m, mech 8 m)
It's not really that impressive a height list. Suburbs like Mississauga, Vaughan, Burnaby, etc. have similar lists. It's just starting in Montreal. The next 10 to 15 years will quadruple that output providing things don't finally crash.
