Architects : Menkès, Schooner, Dagenais & Létourneux.
Corner of Bleury Street and boul. de Maisonneuve in the Quartier des Spectacles.

Cool ça

I can't imagine how this part of dt will look like this time next year. La Place du festival will be completed, the Louis-Boheme will be topped out, the old wilder building will be destroyed (and replaced with what???) and the bluenthal building will be renovated as the Jazz festival HQ! Oh and we'll maybe have that new 4 storey building on the spectrum?!

nice looking building, and very cool pix, specially those with the guys on the crane...

Go Montreal! Beautiful tower for a great city.

Grumpy · #9 Posted **Jun 28, 2008, 1:45 PM**

I see two different renderings...which one is it going to be ??

Rico Rommheim · #10 Posted **Jun 28, 2008, 3:48 PM**

^The last one is from the most recent batch of renderings. And its much better than it was initially!

yarabundi · #11 Posted **Jun 28, 2008, 4:20 PM**

Agreed. Even though the first draw was already much more superior than anything planned for Montréal.

I find this building is kind of a mix of Northern (the tower) and Southern European architecture (the midrise section -- think Marseille, Valencia...). By far the best thing going up these days in Mtl.

That thing is huge. Also every time I pass by there are no less than 12 people who are just there looking down. Truly an event!

From Marco on Mtlurb.com, taken from the heights of the newly built hilton hotel.

So its built 4-5 floors in what 10 months now?

BTW, this is now the tallest building U/C in Montreal....

Thanks mec !

Je suis passé devant aujourd'hui.

J'auras cru que ce soit lisse plutôt que granuleux et mat comme fini...

on verra bien mais, pour l'instant, c'est un choc. J'ai confiance.

Je dois avouer que les panneaux style "charcoal" ne m'inspirent pas beaucoup, mais comme tu dis : attendons....
