The sales office seems to be up though. I think it is likely approved already?

Given location, this building complex will certainly bulk up the skyline. I've hated that parking lot next to the Sheraton fpr as long as I can remember.

True, now that I think of it should give the impression of completely filling the hole between CCE and le 1250 when observed from the south.

A new condominium project is coming to Hampstead. It will be known as Le Belvedere, and its promoter is Benvenuto Group (the same as those behind Le Peterson and Onyx in Montreal, as well as 83 Redpath in Toronto) and Crofton Moore Developments.

Here is a rendering of the ground level, unfortunatley, I don't have a rendering of the whole building. According to an article in The Suburban, the final plans will be released in late May or early June.

According to Hamptead's website it will be a 16 floor building.

It was originally going to be put up by McGill Immobilier, although Benvento bought the land instead. Here are the renderings from McGill (which will likely change, now that it's a different developer). It is obvious that the ground floor level is already quite a bit different.

Thanks for the update guys. I really appreciate how the Point Zero is already in the works. Also good to see the Southam get going as well, it is loooong overdue.


MTLskyline, that hampstead tower proposal has been around for a few years am I right? I'm scared to see what Benvenuto has done to the proposal, especially the townhouses-podium.

The original Hampstead proposal is between 1-2 years old.. The fact that Benvenuto Group requested such a tacky design is indeed a little worrisome.

Airport considers elevated train shuttle

MONTREAL - Montreal’s airport authority is going back to the drawing board on its long-discussed train shuttle between Trudeau Airport and downtown.

Its latest proposal: an elevated light-rapid transit system running along Highway 20 and the Ville Marie Expressway, perhaps arriving downtown in a new dedicated station, Aéroports de Montréal chief executive James Cherry said Thursday.

But the project is at a very preliminary stage, only a fraction of the required funding is in place and it’s unclear when or if it will be built.

The train would be modelled after Vancouver’s Canada Line, an automated driverless system that connects downtown to Vancouver International Airport and the city of Richmond. It opened in 2009. Cost: $2 billion.

Bonjour à tous, hi everyone!
je ne sais pas si ce projet était déjà mentionné, je m'essaie quand même, il faudra me pardonner hihi! C'est Luz Condos, dans le quartier Triangle Côte-des-neiges. Il est présentement en préconstruction, c'est un immeuble de 117 unités, plafonds de 9 pieds, cours intérieure et autres.. je vous laisse le lien vers leur site web: http://luzcondos.com/fr/accueil/

[Rico Rommheim]

Merci pour les rendus Bastien, je n'etais pas au courant du Luz!


Eh bien, j'aime bien la densité, mais l'architecture est nul. Ou sont les architectes talentueux? Ou sont les Dévelopeurs avec de la vision?

What I'd love to see would be to have the DT terminus at good ol Windsor Station. If not, it would make sense to have it Gare Centrale.

This is good news. Hopefully this project will succeed where others have failed. It would be a real shame to lose this landmark.

Curtain to rise on $6-million Empress Theatre revival
Would include film, live shows and more

By Marian Scott, THE GAZETTE
May 9, 2012 6:44 AM



MONTREAL – The Empress Theatre would be reborn as a venue for Montreal’s vibrant music scene, an institute for analog film heritage and a gathering place where Montrealers can drink, dine and enjoy a breathtaking view from a green rooftop terrace, under a proposal from an N.D.G. community organization.

“We’re pretty excited about the proposal,” said Jason Hughes, treasurer and board member of the Empress Cultural Centre.

On Wednesday evening, the centre will unveil a $6-million plan to revive the theatre at 5560 Sherbrooke St. W. as a self-financing cultural complex.

The group is submitting the scheme to the Côte des Neiges-Notre Dame de Grâce borough, which has called for proposals for redeveloping the heritage theatre facing Girouard Park.

Several unnamed investors are behind the proposed redevelopment, which must be self-financing under rules set by the borough, Hughes said.

The proposal reflects broad input from local residents, he said.

“It’s been interesting to hear people’s hopes for that place, and to say, yeah, we should have that kind of live performance space, that we can support that kind of thing,” Hughes said.

Last year, the C.D.N.-N.D.G. borough took back the Egyptian-style theatre, built in 1927, from the Empress Cultural Centre, saying the centre had failed to come up with a viable plan to redevelop the building in the 12 years it had been in charge of the aging landmark.

But organizers protested that the centre’s new board, elected in September 2010, had not had time to bring the project to fruition.

In January, the borough called for proposals for the building. Proposals must focus on a cultural vocation and be financially self-supporting, Borough Mayor Michal Applebaum said.

The heritage theatre offers exciting possibilities for tapping into Montreal’s cultural effervescence, said award-winning architect Talia Dorsey, who conceived the Empress Cultural Centre’s proposal.

Dorsey, a Montreal native who trained at Princeton and MIT, worked under famed architect and urban theorist Rem Koolhaas in the Netherlands on projects including modernization of the Hermitage museum in St. Petersburg.

She noted N.D.G. is one of Canada’s most artistic districts, after the Plateau, Outremont and Old Montreal, according to a 2005 study by Hill Strategies Research Inc. N.D.G. has five times as many people working in the arts as the national average, she noted.

The study found Montreal is Canada’s most creative city, with five of the country’s 10 most creative neighbourhoods.

The Empress, the only surviving Egyptian-style theatre in Canada, is the ideal setting for a cultural venue serving the entire west end of the city, Dorsey said.

“On a cultural level, there’s real appreciation for that kind of aura and authenticity,” she said.

Under the centre’s proposal, the revitalized theatre would house both live performance and film screenings, serve the city’s thriving recording industry as a venue for live recordings and commemorate the age of the silver screen as a showcase for and research institute on analog (celluloid) film.

An in-house restaurant and café would promote urban agriculture projects by featuring local products.

A rooftop garden would include a terrace for small weddings and other events. Musicians and other visitors could rent short-term accommodation on upper floors of the renovated theatre.

Remembered by many as the Cinema V repertory theatre, the long-vacant art deco building was bought by the city in 1999.

In February, Héritage Montréal listed the Empress as one of the city’s 10 most important endangered heritage sites.

François Puchin, a borough communications officer, said officials will not comment on any of the proposals before the winning design is selected. The deadline for submitting proposals is Friday.

An evaluation committee will choose the winning proposal on June 1 and the borough council will approve the choice on June 26.

The Empress Cultural Centre will unveil its proposal at a meeting Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Coop La Maison Verte, 5785 Sherbrooke St. W.

La Caisse se rapproche d'un chantier au 900, de Maisonneuve Ouest

H.J.
Les Affaires

La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec a depuis des années un projet de tour de bureaux au centre-ville de Montréal, le 900, boulevard de Maisonneuve Ouest. «Les éléments commencent à être favorables, dit Jean Laramée, vice-président principal d'Ivanhoé Cambridge pour l'Est de l'Amérique du Nord. Ça pourrait faire partie de nos plans dans les prochains mois.» En 2003, le promoteur texan Hines a acheté le terrain, entre les rues Metcalfe et Mansfield. Puis, en 2006, la Caisse a annoncé qu'elle s'allierait avec le propriétaire du lot pour construire le gratte-ciel, évalué à 150 millions. La crise financière a mis le projet en suspens et, en 2010, Hines a revendu sa part du terrain à la Caisse pour près de 10 millions.

Périodiquement, les responsables de l'immobilier à la Caisse répétaient que le projet démarrerait quand un locataire s'engagerait à louer une grande partie des quelque 400 000 pi2 disponibles.
