It made it above ground, finally..it only took 5 years!!!

I remember a few years ago (2010 or 2011), people were quite taken aback by the projected completion date of 2015.

It is interesting to see the sequence of Altitude - Marriott - Altoria

First there was Altitude. As that was nearing top off, The Marriott starts to emerge. As the Marriott nears its final height, Altoria comes into focus.

Only recently has it started to reshape itself because for the longest time nothing happened.

L'Altoria pourrait bien gagner le prix du chantier le plus lent en ville. Souhaitons que ça s'accélère maintenant que le niveau du sol est franchi ! Compte-tenu du nombre d'étages prévus, j'imagine que début 2014 les travaux pourraient approcher de la fin.

Thx for the tour! It's getting more exciting as time goes on. Altoria is going to be our little bitch this summer. I can't wait to see the cladding, should be a quality curtain wall.

Rico Rommheim · #**212** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 3:15 AM**

Looks about at 4 floors. 31 to go.

franktko · #**213** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 4:47 AM**

Wow, so they did 1 floor in one month?? geez...

leftimage · #**214** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 5:46 AM**

Wouldn't be surprised if Deloitte was completed before this guy.

Robertpuant · #**215** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 5:51 AM**

Hmmm, from the 5th of march to today, I believe they did 2.5 floors. Not too bad.

Rico Rommheim · #**216** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 5:54 AM**

Now that the tricky parts of demolition and excavation are done, and summer is 'round the corner, I predict a quick and steady climb for this mama.

Besides, this project is due to complete in 2015. So probably topped out in 1 year or so.

Dommage que le petit édifice beige survive, juste à côté... Il ne sera plus du tout à l'échelle.

Mais il sera tellement incongru qu'il va peut-être devenir une des curiosités du quartier.

franktko · #**218** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 1:20 PM**

Ce petit édifice étant dans une zone de 120m, il va devenir un site très intéressant dans quelques années, pour une belle tour élancée... lorsqu'il n'y aura plus de terrain vacants à développer dans ces zones.

MTLskyline · #**219** Posted **Apr 6, 2013, 10:50 PM**

Ce n'est pas un édifice laid du tout. Je préfère le garder. Une des charmes de Montréal est le mélange entre le vieux et le nouveau.

Les petits édifices sur Sainte-Catherine dans le QDS par contre...

Rico Rommheim · #**220** Posted **Apr 7, 2013, 2:33 AM**

d'accord avec MTLskyline, c'est un beau building, on a deja razer deux building (un laid, un beau) pour contruire Altoria.

There's no need to go all Jean Drapeau here and start blowing every up that isn't "tall". Otherwise we might as well change our name to hamilton, or vancouver and go ahead and tear down every old building. No thanks.
