Great pics! Thanks.

Encore une fois, superbes photos...

La dernière montre un magnifique fouillis ! Mais en fait on y voit parfaitement les strates successives de la ville dans un même plan.

I agree it would be a wonderful spot however part of the 720 is right under that lot...given the general state of infrastructure in this town I'd think twice before excavating for a major building almost on top of it

I think the 720 tunnel is slighly south of this parking lot. If you look on the upper right corner of the photo, you can see the de la Montagne street exit of this highway. So, the parking lot could (and will) be built.

Big news for the Deloitte tower:

Rio Tinto signs long-term lease to relocate its Montreal office to city's only LEED® Platinum (CS) office tower
MONTREAL, July 11, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Rio Tinto has finalized a long-term lease with The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited and will relocate its Montreal office to become a key tenant of the Deloitte Tower on Avenue-des-Canadiens-de-Montréal in downtown Montreal in 2015. Details of the lease will not be disclosed.

Jacynthe Côté, chief executive of Rio Tinto Alcan stated: "Rio Tinto is committed to creating the safest, most efficient, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective work place for our employees. Our new home will provide this and so much more. The relocation of our Montreal office will mark a new chapter in the rich history of our presence in this city that we have called home for nearly a century. We are very proud to renew our long-term commitment to the Montreal community and to ensure the continuity of Rio Tinto Alcan's global headquarters in Montreal."

Rio Tinto will regroup all of its Montreal-based employees in this new office location where they will benefit from all of the amenities of the current location at 1188 Sherbrooke Street West and much more. The Company will occupy the top eight storeys of the 26-storey tower which represents 190,000 square feet of office space.

The Deloitte Tower will be Montreal's first LEED® Platinum (CS) office development. LEED® buildings are higher performing in terms of energy and water consumption, indoor air quality, and access to natural light. LEED® Platinum (CS) is the highest possible level of certification and is consistent with Rio Tinto's commitment to sustainability.

Rio Tinto's future Montreal home will be located on the Avenue-des-Canadiens-de-Montréal between two landmarks; the Bell Centre, and the heritage-designated Windsor Station. Construction of the new office tower began in 2012 and is expected to be complete by the second half of 2015.

The signing of this lease coincides with the conclusion of an agreement for the sale of Rio Tinto's current office space at 1188 Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal. Details regarding the sale will be made public in due course.

This puts the majority of the tower leased and its success should bode well for other new build office projects in the city.

Hopefully this type of activity will further increase Montreal's commercial construction market.

Great news!

Just a question: It had been strongly rumoured for months that Rio Tinto Alcan was on the verge of signing with Westcliff to be the anchor tenant of Place de la Cité Internationale II. Do you have any insight on why they decided to move into the Deloitte Tower instead?

[yarabundi]

Le siège social de Rio Tinto Alcan emménagera dans la future Tour Deloitte, qui sera située sur l'avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal, près du Centre Bell et du site patrimonial de la gare Windsor.

La future Tour Deloitte, qui comptera 26 étages, est l'une des deux tours de bureaux actuellement en construction au centre-ville de Montréal. L'autre projet est celui de la tour Altoria, située en face du square Victoria. Il s'agit des premiers projets de gratte-ciel mis de l'avant depuis 20 ans dans la métropole.

Rio Tinto Alcan occupera 190 000 pieds carrés, répartis sur les 8 étages supérieurs de la tour, alors que la firme Deloitte occupera environ 160 000 pieds carrés.

Rio Tinto Alcan deviendra ainsi le plus important locataire de l'édifice en termes de superficie. Les détails du bail demeurent toutefois confidentiels.

Selon Rio Tinto, la Tour Deloitte sera le premier immeuble à bureaux certifié LEED Platine à Montréal. La norme LEED, qui signifie « Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design », favorise le développement de bâtiments écologiques qui permettent, entre autres, de consommer moins d'eau et d'énergie.

La Tour Deloitte afficherait déjà un taux d'occupation de 70 %, alors que sa livraison est prévue dans deux ans, à l'été 2015, indique un communiqué de Cadillac Fairview, propriétaire de l'immeuble.

Cadillac Fairview a l'intention de transformer le secteur qui entoure le Centre Bell au cours de 15 prochaines années avec des investissements totalisant près de deux milliards de dollars, incluant les 200 millions investis dans la Tour Deloitte.

Rio Tinto Alcan, dont le siège social emploie 800 personnes à Montréal, est la filière de production d'aluminium du géant minier Rio Tinto. La compagnie Alcan était déjà présente à Montréal depuis huit décennies, puis a été achetée en 2007 par Rio Tinto, dont le siège social se trouve au Royaume-Uni.

Le journaliste aurait pu écrire : Il s'agit des premiers projets privés de gratte-ciel de bureau mis de l'avant depuis 20 ans dans la métropole.

Il aurait pu aussi dire que la tour se trouvera sur la rue St-Antoine, et non Canadiens de Montreal...but whatever.


La tour affiche deja un taux d'occupation de 70%, alors c'est une bonne nouvelle pour la deuxieme tour a bureaux que CF planifie l'autre bord de la rue St-Antoine.

And, I'm sure that this ensures that CF's second office tower across the street is in the works then?

That was my first though also! Mais après avoir regardé les plans un peu, je crois que l'entrée principale sera du côté nord de la tour donc je ne serais pas surpris que l'adresse officielle de cette tour soit sur l'Avenue des Canadiens
