When I think about it, this would have been the perfect spot to build the Bell Centre. I checked it out on Google Earth, and this lot is approximatley the same size as the Bell Centre (the Revenue Canada building could even remain in place. Or demolish the Revenue Canada building and put the Tour des Canadiens right on René-Lévesque) It would really have rejuvenated this area. Restaurants and pubs nearby would be booming. It would have ensured that enough people were always around to be worthy of the name "Quartier des Spectacles".

Another plus is that Windsor Station would still be useable, the airport link might even be already up and running.

This office development would have been more suited to where Roccabella is going up.
