Spent 8 years with an office in this building, possibly the most banal edifice in the Ville Marie. I had a great view though: Southeast corner before Engineering/VA complex was built...could see clear into Vermont.

My office was the one on the 10th floor (one level below top storey) at the left hand side towards back.

Nice that the perimeter beam is far back enough that the projecting slabs appear razor sharp through that glass.

Wow. je suis tout à fait d'accord. le résultat est époustouflant. Plusieurs de nos édifices mériteraient le même sort. Le centre ville de Québec en particulier. nos grand édifices datent des années 70 à l'ère ou le béton était roi...

I forgot there was a thread for this.

Interestingly, one year later, and it's still not finished.

Tout ce qui se fait au Campus de Concordia ces dernières années est dans une classe à part.

Encore une belle réussite.

How's it looking nowadays??

yeah, someone want to take a few snaps of this, along with the bikelane from the library building, the 'faubourg' reno and maybe the victoria school (that new hotel school down maisonneuve)?

The whole area is looking real tight. Not to mention the fact the guy/maisonneuve artery has the busiest foot traffic in all of Canada.

Truthfully, I find this area comprises Montreal's most sensational transformation over recent years. Not just the major Concordia projects, but essentially everything west of crescent and east of Atwater has found new life. From ghetto wasteland to insane street vibrancy in under 10 years.

Still, some casualties couldn't be avoided:

RIP original cock & bull, twin's pub, oxford cafe, Winston churchill's (i.e. the house of horrors), surface-level parking, Seville theatre panhandlers row, heroine needles on rue lincoln & tupper.

you were all filthy sob's... and oddly lovable.

yeah, virtually none of the old bars dive bars still remain, i think diana might still be there from the old days, but that's all that remains of the last true dive strip west of the pda. the area is going to change even more radically with the changes coming to crescent and once all those south of saint cath projects bring in all those hundreds of new upper-end residents to return the hood to the middle/upper middle income zone that is was during its entire pre-war run.

I'll see if I can get a few shots. I'm in the area almost every day.
