This will be built on the site of what could have been Montreal's next tallest. I mean, i like the project, but this one should of been taller.

Yes I agree! There's still hope for the remaining lot to go 50-60 stories (the lot is divided in 2). We'll see how it plays out.

I could have seen these further down Rene-Levesque (maybe where the Hotel Espresso is on the corner of Guy, or maybe further east, in the empty lot at the corner of Saint-Laurent in Chinatown)

There is a project on the "ilôt Overdale". The downtown skyline is definitely moving westward. It was a matter of time and this time seems to be now.

The wood structure is up to put the announcing sign for this project

They're growing on me. I wonder what market segment they are targeting?

They are nice looking towers, I like 2 floors of commercial space on street level. The height notwithstanding, this project is a win, especially if the nearby Icone and Drummond towers go up.

Judging from the rendering they look to be of good quality. Far superior to any residential development south of the Gardiner in Toronto.

man, that part of toronto is just a sea of towers these days, i'd love it if concord pacific got into the montreal market, say around the old chaboillez square and the dow planetarium.

Le Roccabella va de l’avant

Giorgio Tartaglino ouvrira dès le début mai un bureau de vente pour les unités de la première des deux tours de 25 étages déjà prévues dans le projet Roccabella, sur les terrains qu’il détenait déjà, boulevard René-Lévesque. Les plans prévoient au total 512 unités de condos et 400 places de stationnement. MC Finance construira les deux gratte-ciel sur un basilaire commercial de 20 000 pieds carrés. « On aimerait y aménager une épicerie fine, avec une fromagerie, une charcuterie, une pâtisserie… » explique Serge Labelle, de MC Finance. Il évalue l’investissement total à 120 millions de dollars. Les travaux de la première tous devrait être terminés en 2015, estime-t-il.

Sur le terrain racheté à Tony Accurso, le promoteur pourrait construire un autre immeuble d’ici une dizaine d’années. Mais à court terme, Giorgio Tartaglino l’a surtout acheté pour éviter qu’un autre gratte-ciel soit érigé et bloque la vue des acheteurs d’unités dans les premières phases. « On entendait toutes sortes de choses sur ce qui pourrait se faire sur ce terrain, et on n’aimait pas ça », explique Serge Labelle.

Luc Poirier, qui convoitait aussi le lot, projetait d’y ériger une tour de 35 étages et 225 unités.

Whaaaaaaaat???? Two towers of 25? What in the hell happened to the double 37 floors?

And Luc Poirier? Why was he even mentioned?

Oh this is really bad, Montreal's prime real estate lot, ruined by two short towers and Luc Poirier :(

How dare they, this is a travesty. First, 37 floors was already too small for a spot like that, now we have 25 floors. Inevitably in Montreal, the finished height is always a couple floors lower than what was announced. So we're looking at a couple 20 something floor condos on what was poised to be the spot for Montreal's next tallest building. This is egregious.

No you don't. Trust me, you never want to give one developer a huge track of land to work with.

Bah! ok thanks. Bleedin' journalists and their lackluster knowledge of urban affairs! They ought to visit SSP some time!

So is the roccabella gonna take the entire lot? Anyone know?
