This was the site of the previously proposed Portrait Gallery submission that seems to have died. This new proposal looks like someone lopped off the top of 1250 René-Lévesque in Montreal.

Seems like St. Joseph Boulevard is on its way to intesification. :tup:

Offices, of course. They're lining up for one of the federal buildings. As locations go it's a good one. St-Joseph Blvd has great potential to be a busy urban avenue. There's already quite a few things there - I myself am a longtime customer of Loisir des Usagers.

Updating this old thread. I went by this site yesterday and Brigil has a bunch of billboards up saying 'Spring 2013'.

Another office proposal switched to condos I suppose. Nice renderings (although not offical apparently).

I'm not sure I'd want a condo backing onto the Autoroute, but maybe there's a market for that.
