Haha you're right. It's right there in front of me. So, what's the vantage point? Pont mercier?

Tone · #22 Posted **Oct 21, 2011, 8:40 PM**

this is a copy of MiMA in NYC, and there is no reason anyone should copy that building...

apparently, it might take around 6 months at least to find out a deal with the public administration ... damn !

^ This was already known, though. It doesn't hurt the project. Ecery project goes through the same process. This tower will rise.

Posted yesterday by Mtlurb.com forumer MARTY regarding the soil tests happening on site. Sounds good, doesn't it!

Good news! Build that thing asap!

Tone · #29 Posted **Nov 23, 2011, 5:36 PM**

Agreed!

I just saw a pic over at Mtlurb.com that shows another drilling rig doing soil tests on that huge parking lot across the street aswell.

Bahh!! Nothing spectacular!

Jringe01 · #32 Posted **Jan 10, 2012, 1:25 AM**

so then it may well be April or May before we see approval correct?

NYC2ATX · #33 Posted **Jan 10, 2012, 2:04 AM**

I happen to like that skyline pan (post #18) because, quite frankly, I feel like I've never seen a clear skyline photo of Montreal. I've never had a clear skyline image to associate with the city and I was always curious what this city "looked like" in that way. Very cool.

That being said, I like this new proposal, it appears it will have a greater impact on the skyline.

It's already approved sales might start this spring..

LeftCoaster · #35 Posted **Jan 10, 2012, 2:57 PM**

Yes sales will likely start late spring/early summer.

The tower is still balancing precariously between 62 and 42 floors depending on market strength.

Currently the developer would like to move ahead with a 62 floor version but the project is structured in a way that could see it revert for a 42 floor version if the market is not seen as able to absorb enough units.

Man, if they go down to 42....watch out. The people will revolt, well maybe a couple people will.

^oh no, not the likes of the slovenly Patrick Bourgeois and his gang of unemployed RRQ xenophobic losers.

I hate the flag of the Patriotes.

More thought should have gone into the language abilities of the Habs coach. The reaction is exactly as I had anticipated.

Rico Rommheim · #39 Posted **Jan 11, 2012, 6:43 PM**

Embarrassing that something like that would eve happen. I tried explaining such behaviour to my non-Quebecois girlfriend and her friends, they just don't understand. And why should they?

And yeah, that flag is hideous. Not because of what t represents, but purely on an aesthetic level.

I am agree on the premise that those are extremist but all in all, pretty much every journalists in Montreal/Quebec were agreeing on the fact that the coach should have been at the very least be bilingual. Furthermore, 85 % of the fan base is french for god sake.

By the way, I do not have any affection for either the patriot flag or for the Ccccanaaadiaaan flag which I have do deal with everyday around here, if you think Quebecois are nationalist, you ought to take look in your own backward.

Lets go West-Island Habs !lol
