The CIBC Tower antenna may be removed.

Quote:
CKOI: The days of Montreal’s most powerful radio transmitter are numbered. The 307,000-watt signal, grandfathered at that power when the federal government imposed a 100kW limit on FM stations in the 1960s, is being replaced by a new transmitter on the Mount Royal Antenna, that will be higher up but lower power (147kW) so its pattern doesn’t extend beyond its current one.

Lachance said the plan is to make the move this year, probably around June. After that, the existing transmitter and antenna on the CIBC building at Peel St. and René-Lévesque Blvd. downtown will likely be torn down. CKOI’s backup transmitter, and others for Cogeco stations and some Bell stations, is in Laval’s Auteuil district.

Most people won’t notice a change. But Cogeco believes the higher antenna will mean less interference from large buildings and the mountain itself.

I usually hate antennae but I like the one atop the CIBC tower.

Drummond Medical Building's shift to high-end residential units marks end of an era

In a few months, the last health clinics at the historic building will make way for rental apartments

Brian Lapuz · CBC News · Posted: Jan 12, 2019 6:00 AM ET | Last Updated: January 12


Édifice du Drummond Medical (1930), v01, 1414 rue Drummond, Montreal, QC, Canada by Steve Minor, on Flickr

Not every visit to the doctor's office starts with a greeting from a doorman.

The Drummond Medical Building is different. For nearly a century, the stately art deco highrise served as a medical hub to Montrealers.

But in a few months, the final clinics remaining are expected to shut their doors for good.

The owner plans to convert them into high-end residential rental units.

"It's sad to see it end this way," said Shawn Cohen, an ophthalmologist who has had an office in the building for 18 years.

"I would have been here forever. I don't think I have any motivation to leave."

He has yet to finalize where he will move next.

'Distinctive in its day'
The 11-floor building was viewed as innovative when it was erected in the Golden Square Mile in 1929.

It was designed as a one-stop shop offering patients everything from dental to eye care, at a time when doctors were shifting from home visits to clinical care.

"It was actually quite distinctive in its day," McGill University architectural historian Annmarie Adams said.

"It was built to bring doctors together. It was a specialized commercial building for doctors' offices and it really represented a brand new building type."

Even the parking garage is a testament to its mandate, she said.

The ornate facade masks an above-ground, multi-floor car park available for the hundreds of patients who visited daily.

Adams herself visits the building regularly. Her dentist is still there.

"We've been in the parking garage. It's a pretty wild experience," Adams said.

God Montréal is slowly becoming Toronto!! It would be great if we can preserve some landmark buildings and hopefully they can all be owned by us Canadians, us Montréalais unlike Toronto downtown where it's 90% foreign owned.

What if anything has happened since the closure of Hotel Delta Centre-Ville. Is this expected to be demolished? The hotel was built on the original site of the unbuilt twin of this was it not?

It’s not a hotel anymore. The building now houses student residences under the EVO banner, and still has a very spiffy revolving restaurant at the top.
