Not my type. 6/10

[giallo]

I think this is Montreal's nicest tall new building. No other building looks like it. 8.5

[SteelCity32]

well, 101-200, which one is this?

6/10

[RafflesCity]

This thread has been moved to the Open forum as this building is not of the 200 tallest.

If anyone is in doubt, feel free to send a message to DMac or myself.

Back to the building,

8.5/10

I really like it, especially the glass and the symmetry of the design.

[Building_lover]

oK i'm sorry LOL i am new here and i didn't know:cool:

[Sunflower]

Looks good from a distance but up close it's not so good. The crown is best.

[Phil]

[jake]

thats quite a monstrosity its design is incredibly average

[Jeff from Winnipeg]

Whenever I see this building I know it's Montreal right away. It is quite unique IMO. But yeah, it is better from far away. ->7.5/10

[NYClover]

Great looking building. I love the top. 8/10

[The Messiah]

That's a damn good looking building!:)8.5/10

[Evergrey]

8.5 A wonderful symmetrical design. Superb top... looks like descending staircases with a glass cone emerging from the top.

about the building ; it is not my fav in Montréal but I like its boldness , 7.5

[james2390]

my favorite canadian scraper, 10

[Vloepkleedje]

6.5

the symmetry does the trick. not so beautiful but impressive. not bad.

[renell]

6/10 i just hate the top. makes an ok scraper hideous. but it's setbacks makes it look like a classic scraper recladded

[BGT]

9/10

[intervention]

It's pretty, but it's a shame that it's so low. 7

[Gustavo]

It is very nice 8.5/10

[Roch5220]

Not a fan of Montreal's skyline even though I like Montreal,
Best skyscraper of the city even though my first impression seeing it was that it was stubby.

8.5

8/10

It's not my favorite... IBM Marathon and Place Ville-Marie are ahead.
For many reasons mentionned above... But it's in the top 10 in Canada for me.

[Imperfect Ending]

9.5

Woo! I love the design.! woulnt mind if it was in Bangkok or LA :D

[tayser]

Not a bad looker!

[AtlanticaC5]

The top looks great at night! 8/10

[airsickpenthousedweller]

I don't like this style, and unfortunately there are so many more of these.

Let's be harsh:

3/10

[Winus]

Nice façade columns, only the top is a bit too much. 7.5

[Patrick]

6,5 not my favorite

[ryanr]

Its nice, the top looks a little bit strange though. 7/10

[de flatneuroot]

looks better at night than at daytime 6/10

[Building_lover]

it looks great in my opinion:)

[Labrador]

8.5/10
This is my favourite high rise in Montréal because the top of the building is really cool. The photo with the church ('Mini saint-Paul's look-a-like') in the foreground is interesting.

:)

[New Jack City]

6/10...I don't like the setbacks and the top, and the colors aren't all that great.

[UrbanDesigner]

I want this building to be soooo much given it's relationship to Montreal's great Cathedral. It's almost there ~ forming a solid, unobtrusive back-drop to the Cathedral, but could it have been more interactive, enhancing the Cathedral????

7.5/10 (for what could've been MUCH worse! but could've been better?)

:booze:

[Kommentare]

7.5/10 ! :)

[baqthier]

i like the shape of the building................8

[biguc]

from the side it looks nice. i think it looks like shit from the front though. montreal has many buildings that are far better.

[sayabec]

Look like the Empire State Building

9.0
unique design.

[LibertyTwo]

looks like a houston-style scraper to me
its ok
does nothing for me
a little too many geometric shapes going on, a little busy, like IBX Tower in Philly

5/10 its ok

[Chibcha2k]

9/10 i just love it....i like the way it looks with the mcgill tower in the skyline :)

[Orfeo]

It is quite beautiful

7.5/10

[Monkey]

The beige/olive on the facade seems to contrast too heavily with the blue/green. Also, the building seems rather wide and fat - could do with slimming down a bit. The sloping roof is okay but nothing new.

The setbacks on the lower part of the tower look great though; reminiscent of the Empire State Building.

7/10

[MattSal]

A good defining skyscraper for Montreal. I give it an 8.5/10. :)

[Medo]

Doesnt look that tall for some reason, 6/10

[B@dGuYoM]

the most popular building in montreal for me 9/10

[3tmk]

I agree, among the most famous Montreal buildings IMO
8.5

[Liz L]

7/10 - At last, a little bit of imagination! The facade REALLY dances with the light (I think I added a half a point for the way it caught the sunset in that one pic, even though I know the sunset isn't an architectural feature). The contrast between trim and glass adds variety, and it even (gasp!) has a setback or two.

BUT - while I really do appreciate this effort to move beyond the flat roof, somehow the pyramid seems heavy and awkward...

[Henk]

Nice tower. 7.5/10.

[Nouvellecosse]

8. I really like where this building was going but unfortunatly, it just didn't get there. If it been in the 270-290 metre range instead of 205m, I would have given a 10. We can thank the stupid height restriction that prevents buildings from being taller than Mount Royal for that.

This is my favourite high rise in Montréal because the top of the building is really cool. The photo with the church ('Mini saint-Paul's look-a-like') in the foreground is interesting.

:)

Yes, la Cathédrale Marie-Reine-Du Monde (Marie-queen of the world) is a 1/4 replica of Saint Pierre de Rome. Except, Statues on the facade are not the same..

[Media]

4.5 yuck

I think 5.5 is enough :)

[Scruffy88]

I love the crown. It looks good from all angles but the building underneath it is just too small to support it. A crown that size belongs on a 1000ft pedestal to really impress. 6.5/10

[Moren-o]

Nah, there's something wrong imo.
Not that bad though
7/10

[skipperBill]

7/10.

[elkram]

Lousy landmark for this city -- I see little imagination went into its design, too dated-looking too -- the city should go after timeless designs -- I wouldn't be surprised if that tower were recladded in about 40 years' time....

2/10
