Marriott now at 29 floors. 11 more to go (or is it 13?).
Sorry about the shitty quality, the lens of my I phone isn't worth a damn.

Fill holes in skyline from city hall vantage: CHECK.

The Courtyard Marriott is visible on Riverside in Saint-Lambert. This project is definitely plugging in a few holes.

Just a quick question. I noticed that the montreal2025 website has the courtyard Marriot listed at 44 stories (http://www.montreal2025.com/projet.php?id=274&lang=en). Any confirmation on whether or not this includes below ground parking?

Not sure but over at Mtlurb (a good source) it's 42 floors...

I always heard the commentary about how stumpy the Complex Maisonneuve (Aon + BNC) towers are but never really agreed with it until I saw this picture.

And now I'm starting to think that Altoria (or is it Aimia now?) is only going to solidify this table top feel. darn.

^wow what a skyline. Truly the most flattering angle is from the east, not the north or south...

Friday update from my job. I counted, its at 32 floors (about 109m), 10 more still to go (basically until the crane cabin).

SO MUCH PROGRESS! LOL

Thanks for the shots! Now it is finally starting to look like a nice tall slender tower. And I really like the glass cladding on this one.

Indeed, this guy is looking very slim, especially compared to Complex D. Its going to take many a more marriotts until that brown monstrosity is atoned.

I beg to differ !! I always loved Complexe Desjardins.

Je l'aimais dans les années 1970 au moment de la construction et j'ai aussi apprécié les diverses rénovations qui ont eu lieu depuis. Je continue toujours à l'aimer aujourd'hui.

Selon moi, de nouveau gratte-ciel aux alentours ne pourront que mettre encore plus en valeur ce complexe.
