I don't hate it. It's a simulacra of the Marriott Courtyard/Hilton Garden Inn template. It's glass, it's 120m (probably) and it's gonna be on a site that was an abandoned garage yard for the past 50 years. It's going to bring hundreds of tourists and apartment renters into the neighbourhood.
I'll take it. |
Hotels use curtain walls instead of window walls. Right there it's above average. I'll take it too!

40 floors -120m

I don't hate it either, but I can't say I love it. IMHO I think the 15 storey podium is what makes this project unrefined. They need more tower less podium!
|
It looks like the rendering is not in context with the site.
Which way do you think this building will face? Or better yet, which way should it be oriented? |
I'm pretty sure we're seeing the building as if we'd be standing on Crescent street, looking north. So the tower would be facing the CCE 2 while the podium would be orientated towards the YUL.

Simple, modern, infill... What's not to like.

Will add to the density going up in the area
|
^It will. and improve the Rene-Levesque canyon.

hard to believe this is going ahead so quickly, with the YUL ones next door still seemingly so far off.

I have a better opinion of this tower, but only because they have a no BS approach, they annouce, launch and construct.

Here's an updated photo of the work. They have started to pour the concrete for the parking lot and excavated pretty much all of the ground. http://www.mtlwarehouse.ca/wp-conten.../07/HI_MTL.jpg
