Ces images tirées fournies par la firme d'architectes ont été retouchées pour "terminer" l'immeuble, qui en réalité n'est pas aussi avancé que cela. L'éclairage sera la touche finale, mais encore faut-il terminer la finition de la façade de verre.

Qu'est-ce qui te fait dire cela? Ça doit faire au moins un mois que la pose du verre est terminée.

UN BLOC DE BÉTON SE DÉTACHE AU STADE

PHOTO: HUGO-SÉBASTIEN AUBERT, LA PRESSE

La Presse Canadienne

MONTRÉAL - Un bloc de béton de huit mètres par 12 mètres s'est détaché du plafond d'un stationnement souterrain des installations du Stade olympique, dimanche, à Montréal.

L'incident, qui est survenu dans le stationnement B2, n'a fait aucun blessé, a indiqué le chef aux opérations du Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal (SIM), Benoît Brouillard. Les pompiers craignent toutefois un nouvel effondrement au niveau inférieur puisqu'une faiblesse a été observée dans la structure.

Le stationnement B2 est situé sur la rue Viau, entre les rues Pierre-De-Coubertin et Sherbrooke est.

Selon M. Brouillard, une surcharge sur la dalle de béton aurait provoqué son affaissement. Le chantier des travaux d'agrandissement du stade Saputo se trouve près du lieu de l'incident et des matériaux de construction se trouvaient à proximité des lieux de l'incident.

L'affaissement de la dalle a également provoqué une inondation dans le stationnement en brisant plusieurs gicleurs automatiques. Les pompiers se sont assurés de sécuriser les environs et des voitures qui se trouvaient près de la dalle ont été remorquées.

L'incident survient à deux semaines du match inaugural de l'Impact de Montréal dans la Major League Soccer (MLS), le samedi 17 mars contre le Fire de Chicago.

La Régie des installations olympiques devrait enquêter sur cet incident.

Hmm.. Haven't heard of the project for a 40 storey condo on the Overdale lot before. That's about the right height for the area, IMO.

Griffintown developer buys Horse Palace

By Allison Lampert and Marian Scott, The Gazette
March 6, 2012 8:01 PM


The Griffintown Horse Palace, listed among Montreal’s 10 most endangered historic sites, was sold to a developer last week, raising new questions over how to reconcile preservation and profitability during the tail end of the city’s real estate boom.

The 150 year-old stables were identified by Heritage Montreal as one of 16 sites at risk for neglect, or demolition, at a time when prime city land still continues to fetch near-record prices despite an anticipated slowdown in the housing market this year. On Tuesday, opposition party Projet Montréal called on city officials to intervene on behalf of another at-risk historic site – the decaying Sir Louis Hippolyte LaFontaine Mansion – located on one of downtown Montreal’s largest remaining site available for development.

Owners of some of these sites, including the Horse Palace, the Lafontaine Mansion and the recently closed Mount Stephen Club, insist they will be preserved, but have yet to decide on their future vocations.

“We are trying to find a long-term solution (for the stables). We want to renovate them,” said Normand Beauchamp, business development director for Montreal developer Maître Carré, which bought the Horse Palace and an adjacent triplex next to its 143-unit Carré de la Montagne condo project on Ottawa St.

“They will not be demolished and turned into condos.”

Developer Jack Arduini, minority partner in the company that owns the decaying LaFontaine Mansion, said he’d like to see the former residence of the second premier of Eastern Canada turned into a museum.

“We’re leaning toward a museum, but if it’s not that it will be something else,” Arduini said. “It will definitely be preserved. But it has to generate some profit too.”

The mansion is located on Overdale St. near Lucien L’Allier St. on an expanse of land acquired by Arduini and his partner Kheng Ly – backed by Asian investors – for $28 million last year. Arduini said he’s asked the city to approve a 40-storey condo tower for the site in a two-phase project that would include other uses.

What’s key for the site is that any tower be developed harmoniously with the existing mansion, said Dinu Bumbaru, policy director of Heritage Montreal.

“The question is not highrise or not but rather how will they form an ensemble,” Bumbaru said in an email from Johannesburg, South Africa, where he is attending a conference. Bumbaru also raised “the broader concern for the blocking of views of the mountain.”

“The contacts we’ve had with the developer and their architects have shown that they see the same challenge and are working on solutions for these as well as the more functionalist issues like shadows or wind turbulence at street level,” he added.

He called on the federal and provincial governments to “act as worthy successors of LaFontaine by classifying and designating the mansion to give it a national status in Quebec City and Ottawa.”

But converting and renovating a historic site for a public vocation is costly, with developers and government officials reluctant to foot the bill.

Maître Carré, while open to keeping the Horse Palace as a stable, acquired the site because of its potential impact on the values of its neighbouring condo development, said Juliette Patterson, president of the Horse Palace Foundation.

“Mr. Beauchamp is not a philanthropist,” Patterson said. “We’re in talks with him to have it remain a stable. There’s a lot of openness on his part. However he has certain concerns over how it’s going to impact the new condo development there.”

She called on the heritage community to help raise money needed to renovate the stables and eventually acquire the land from the developer.

“It’s going to take the heritage community to put their money where their mouth is.”

A win-win situation ought to be reached by keeping the house as either a museum or some sort of cultural institution and integrating it with a large developement that would include retail / restaurants / bars on the stree level and massive towers into the air. 40 floors sounds good, but should be a minimum.

Castelneau looks much more impressive in person ,the location is great, it's next to Jarry park, has a metro station diectly across, and it's walking distance from the Jean-Talon market. But more importantly it's a safe distance from the animals of downtown, I swear to god they should declare martial law around the area of Berri metro,those savages are even attacking the poor gay people who live there ,the local merchants are begging our useless police force to do something anything (which of course falls on deaf ears)

It is simply awful. The architect should be hunted down and shot.

Thanks for the renders Martin Mtl! There are a lot of attractive projects going up.

Here are some photos of the dismantling of the building at the corner of Peel and Wellington where the 20-floor Griffix is supposed to go up.
