The long-awaited project is expected to help revive the hardscrabble western strip of the city’s downtown, near the former Montreal Forum of Canadiens hockey lore.

The complex is to be called Résidences Séville.

It would provide 1,155 student-housing units in towers of seven, 10 and 25 storeys.

The project would occupy the long-empty northern flank of Ste. Catherine St. W., between Chomedey and Lambert-Clossé Sts.

According to sources, the executive committee has formally recommended that city council approve construction.

At street level, the development would also feature retail, community, recreational and office space.

That northern stretch of Montreal’s core shopping street consists of boarded-up storefronts, grafitti and the deteriorating facade of the Seville, which is protected by a heritage designation.

The Ville Marie borough council approved the redevelopment plans last spring.

“We've made it clear we want to revitalize that part of Ste. Catherine St. and we can't start with an eyesore in the middle of the neighbourhood,” Karim Boulos, a city councillor, said at the time.

“I would hope that the project would be finished by August of 2009 or 2010,” he said then.

Boulos was not immediately available for an updated estimate.
