New project. It is quite ugly and bland in my opinion. The materials look cheap and don't justify the high prices they are asking. The empty "lot" its on bothers me less than this fugly building. It is also stupid architecture. Look at the blank wall. What are the chances that something ever gets built right up against it with an old bank building on the corner? It will also give an opportunity to vandals to climb atop the bank and spray paint the blank wall (which is not possible with the blank wall of the YMCA because its not directly next to a shorter building).
Of course, this is Montreal, where only height not architectural quality matters. It is automatically approved because it abides by height regulations.
Aurea - 7 floors (12 units starting at $329,000)
On Drummond Street just above St. Catherine.
There will be a coffee shop on the ground floor apparently.
