are you talking about the same project that was suppose to be built over a decade ago? weren't sales suppose to start this summer? last time I passed by the only thing I saw was a vacant field (unless they're cleverly hiding all the heavy equipment)...watch them start digging next week just to prove me wrong (I wouldn't mind)

The large fire-escape staircase they put behind the Medical Arts Building on Guy Street was being enclosed in brick the last I saw it. (The brick is actually pretty similar to the original brick, but it is lighter in colour).

Ok. Fun time's over for Montreal. We had a good run, 37 floorer here, 40 floors there, and a prospective 62 floor some where around the corner. Its time to go back to reality. Time to go back to 2008.

Le Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal veut s'agrandir

Le Musée d'art contemporain (MAC) propose un ambitieux plan d'agrandissement de 88 millions de dollars, qui passerait par la reconstruction de l'édifice qu'il occupe actuellement, au coeur du Quartier des spectacles, à Montréal.

La direction du MAC demande la participation des gouvernements de Québec et d'Ottawa, et s'engage à contribuer à raison de 10 millions de dollars au projet avec des dons privés, a appris Radio-Canada.

« C'est une transformation complète de l'édifice que nous voulons [...] Si on veut un nouveau musée, c'est que notre collection a énormément grandi », explique Paulette Gagnon, directrice générale du MAC.

Depuis que le musée s'est installé à la Place des arts en 1992, sa collection s'est enrichie de 4000 oeuvres et la fréquentation a atteint 200 000 visiteurs par année.

Those buildings look extremely drab... I like the density, but I'm not so sure about the architecture.

Uninspired, unoriginal. Just boring, really.

whoa that's great news! Its been falling apart ever since I can remember!

The neighborhood's getting nicer and denser. Widened sidewalks, more trees, new Norman bethune square, new GM, EV and Molson towers, a new station....all there's left now is to tear down that awful apartment turd on Guy/Maisonneuve (which has got to be the city's ugliest highrise).

Consultations, consultations, consultations!!!!

Griffintown: pour un quartier où il fera bon vivre

Griffintown suscite beaucoup d'intérêt, mais beaucoup reste à faire pour rendre le quartier accueillant. Afin de prendre des décisions éclairées quant à son avenir, une vaste opération de consultation publique vient de s'amorcer, qui se poursuivra jusqu'à la fin de 2012.

Première étape? Sonder l'opinion publique via l'internet (une première, déjà en cours). Un colloque sur Griffintown sera ensuite organisé les 20 et 21 janvier prochains, afin de faire état de la situation et mettre en évidence les conditions à mettre en place pour créer un quartier où il fera bon vivre.

«C'est le temps de s'arrêter un peu pour voir comment on peut relever ce défi dans un secteur en train de se densifier beaucoup, explique Louise Roy, présidente de l'Office de consultation publique de Montréal. Comme il ne s'agit pas d'une page blanche, la vision devra être élaborée en tenant compte de ce qui existe déjà.»

Tout sera soumis à la réflexion: l'allure des rues, le verdissement souhaité, l'importance que l'on veut accorder à l'histoire des lieux de même qu'à la préservation des anciens immeubles industriels et la mise en valeur du Horse Palace (la dernière écurie à Montréal), l'importance que revêt la création d'un corridor culturel, rue Ottawa, la manière dont l'espace commercial sera intégré dans le tissu urbain, ainsi que la volonté d'accueillir une population diversifiée et ce qu'il faudra mettre en place pour que les futurs projets immobiliers le permettent.

[...]

Thanks for the tour! Some mighty good projects being developed. Also, good for Concordia for continuing the aesthetic enhancement of the neighborhood!

I can't believe how much that area has changed just since I've been here. Now how about Guy-Concordia metro? I hate that station!

I like most of what I've seen in Griffintown but now that it will be a new residential area, get rid of the damn hydro poles!

Going to wait for a better render on that Rio Tinto building. Looks a little squat the way it is now.
