MONTREAL | Roccabella (2 towers) | 147 M / 482 FT | 40 FLOORS - Page 3

From what I understand, they are building a larger sale center.

I knew it. Having their sales centre a few blocks away probably didn't help them much. And l'Avenue's imposing sales centre probably scared them strait

From the perspective of this pic, looks like the height of these 2 buildings will be more around the 130m mark. The roof just misses the 140m partition of the IBM tower.

BTW, construction to start soon according to their website roccabella.ca

Rico Rommheim · #45 Posted **Nov 4, 2012, 9:48 PM**

It certainly does look taller than 120m, comparing it with CCE it looks like 125m ish.

Franchement, la meilleure chose qui pourrait arriver au quartier, c'est que ces deux tours ne soient pas construites. Elles viendraient complètement obstruer la vue sur le centre bell et sur les deux autres tours qui occuperont l'espace plus au sud.

Idéalement, il faudrait les construire un peu plus à l'ouest pour prolonger le canyon de René-Lévesque et réserver le terrain pour un dégagement visuel qui mette l'architecture des autres projets en valeur.

Great infill, but with such a prestigious location, lets hope they don't shrink the height/floor count (like they did with that horrid thing proposed for square Victoria, which Snaredrum-in-extremis argued belonged adjacent to Longueuil metro stn).

According to their website, construction is to start in 75 days, which brings us mid february

Rico Rommheim · #49 Posted **Dec 4, 2012, 4:23 PM**

THey're starting construction on one tower first, right? They'll build the second as phase II, or did I hear wrong?

As stated by West_aust: According to their website, construction is to start in 75 days, which brings us mid february.

Their website also mentions 2 towers of 38 stories. I wonder if they count underground floors to reach that number.

From what has been speculated, they will build the whole podium (floors 1-2) but start with only the tower 1 (similar process to Jules-Dallaire in Quebec)

This project is apparently now 40 floors and 147m tall.

I think I like your render better...maybe you should consult for them.

the 147m tall is a mistake i think... maybe 40 floors sounds right... but it ain't gonna be 147m tall... 130m maybe

Its been saying this for weeks

Roccabella ain't in good shape I hear.

Sales are barely over a third. mtlurb zealots claim 40%, but even that sounds like a stretch. Maybe 40% of tower 1?

And I agree G.S. 147m never sounded right to me.

Je ne me fierais pas au site du Roccabella : il n'est pas à jour depuis des lustres.

Par contre, sur leur page Facebook, ils ont confirmé récemment (en réponse à un gars d'ici ou de mtlurb) que les tours auront au moins 40 étages. De plus, n'oubliez pas que le premier étage est plus haut et qu'il y aura des commerces au basilaire (2 étages de commerces).

Donc, le premier étage est commercial et compte pour deux : 8 m
Deuxième étage : commercial 4 m
38 étages de condos : 3,5 m par étage
J'arrive à 145 m.

^C'est pas incroyable, mais je continue a douter. I want to be proven wrong.

Merci Rotax!
