Mise-à-jour des projets de Griffintown:

1 - Carré de la Montagne - Ils ont commencé d'installer les briques sur le bâtiment. La couleur est semblable à celle des condos Forest Hill à Côte-des-Neiges.

2 - District Griffin Phase 2 - Le premier bâtiment a atteint 3 étages de hauteur.

3 - District Griffin Phase 1 - Les bâtiments sont devenus assez grands, probablement autour de 10 étages.

4 - Bassin du Nouveau Havre - Le premier bâtiment a atteint 2 étages de hauteur.

5 - Gallery sur le Canal - Sur le toit de l'immeuble en brique existant, il ya une belle enseigne au néon: «Lofts» est écrit en lettres capitales.

À l'émission Découverte, aujourd'hui, il était question du toit du Stade olympique. Il a été dit que la RIO avait renoncé à accepter la proposition de toit fixe en acier de 4000 tonnes (qui nécessitait le renforcement des structures existantes) pour envisager cette proposition soumise pas Dessau en collaboration avec un inventeur et un ingénieur ayant participé à la construction du stade. Au moment où j'écris ces lignes, le reportage en question n'a pas encore été mis en ligne sur la page de l'émission (ici).

Cette proposition avait un peu fait parler d'elle en 2010 (lors de l'appel d'offre), mais c'est la première fois que j'entends dire qu'elle a des chances d'être acceptée.

^ J'avais déjà entendu parler de l'inventeur qui a mis au point cette technique, et je croyais que c'était un pelleteux de nuages. Ça serait fantastique de revoir le toit du stade ouvert.

Je me disais la même chose (disons que c'est assez peu commun de nos jours que quelqu'un se définisse comme «inventeur»), mais ce reportage démontre le contraire. Justement, il est maintenant disponible.

Le Quartier latin réinventé





(Montréal) Le Quartier latin est sous la loupe de la Ville de Montréal, de l'arrondissement de Ville-Marie et de nombreux partenaires depuis plusieurs mois. La démarche entreprise pour réinventer cette autre section du Quartier des Spectacles se précisera lundi qui vient avec la présentation du projet de Programme particulier d'urbanisme (PPU) élaboré spécifiquement pour ce secteur.

Délimité par les rues Sherbrooke au nord, René-Lévesque au sud, Saint-Laurent à l'ouest et Saint-André à l'est, le Quartier latin profite notamment de la présence de l'UQAM, du Cégep du Vieux-Montréal, de la Grande Bibliothèque, du Théâtre Saint-Denis et de nombreux cafés, bars, restaurants, boutiques et galeries, pour la plupart rue Saint-Denis.

Des défis importants doivent toutefois être relevés pour qu'il devienne un quartier dynamique offrant à la fois divertissement, culture, travail, commerce et habitation.

Doubler la population

Environ 6000 personnes résident dans le Quartier latin, souligne Marc Labelle, directeur de l'aménagement urbain et des services aux entreprises de l'arrondissement de Ville-Marie. Un des buts visés serait de doubler la population avec l'ajout d'environ 2500 unités de logements.

Conversion to high-end hotel will breath new life into Mount Stephen Club, owner says

By Allison Lampert, THE GAZETTE
September 26, 2012 7:37 AM

Montreal’s historic Mount Stephen Club, closed in December as a social club for the elite, is to be reinvented as part of a high-end boutique hotel project, owner Tidan Hospitality and Real Estate Group said this week.

The lavish former residence of Canada Pacific Railway founding president George Stephen is to serve as the front entrance of a new 80-room hotel to be built on the rear parking lot of the downtown site.

The stone façade of the club, first opened to men in 1926, won’t change as the building would be attached at the ground level to the back of the new 11-storey hotel, Tidan general counsel Ian Copnick explained.

“It will be integrated into the club. If you don’t cast your eyes upward you won’t see anything different,”

Copnick told The Gazette in an interview. “That parking lot will be the floorplate.”

Since the company is still trying to obtain project permits from the city of Montreal, Copnick could not say when the hotel and its underground parking lot would be built, or how much the development would cost.

The parking lot where the 11-story hotel will be built is between the Mount Stephen Club and De la Montagne:

Are they really going to build a 11 story building on that parking lot? C'mon, it's zoned for 120m towers...

It's a nice renovation, but I don't think they did the west side, which is still fugly brown concrete.

My guess is that it might not take the whole parking lot. Just the part right behind the Mount Stephen, not on De Maisonneuve.

Even so, it's a project to be welcomed with open arms, the historic building will continue to have a purpose and a vulgar parking lot on de la montagne will vanish.

I know the neighbouring Loews hotel is planning a renovation soon, but they better hurry because its about to get stiff conpetition not only from its future neighbour but also from hotel de la montagne's successor.


Now, someone needs to build something on maisonneuve and mountain, it may not be the biggest parking, but its one of the most ruinous to the downtown urban landscape.
