View Full Version : UC Montreal downtown - Le Crystal de Montagne habsfan September 2nd, 2005, 05:52 AM Good News! Crystal de la Montagne I was walking by the Crystal de la Montagne last friday, and I noticed some bulldozers on the lot. And earlier this week they actually started to dig! Ashok September 2nd, 2005, 07:00 AM this is great news!! I believe the cranes are even going up now habsfan September 2nd, 2005, 07:14 PM that is possible! in'sauga September 3rd, 2005, 12:29 AM any pictures of the proposed building? Ashok September 3rd, 2005, 07:45 PM http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/552/1856crystal_de_la_montagne.jpg habsfan September 3rd, 2005, 09:17 PM THe damn thing was 85% sold in the span of two months. You'd think they would have added 5 to 10 floors. This is gonna be a beautiful building, it just needs a few floors more! Tosco September 3rd, 2005, 10:29 PM Where is that building located exactly? habsfan September 4th, 2005, 01:46 AM ON the North Western corner of René-Lévesque Blvd. and De la Montagne Street. It'll be located across the street from the E-Commerce Center. marek bielski October 21st, 2005, 11:19 PM Looks like it is a go ... http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/marek_bielski/SA400082.jpg habsfan October 21st, 2005, 11:48 PM This will probably become one of the top 3 best looking buildings in this city! Ashok October 22nd, 2005, 02:13 AM bah! sorry guys for this confusion :bash: Pls continue with the discussion :cheers: MTLskyline October 22nd, 2005, 02:22 AM I got a pic of the site last weekend... http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/7134/october16th00228jm.jpg Ashok October 22nd, 2005, 02:23 AM post them :D marek bielski October 22nd, 2005, 04:14 AM for sure the most ecclectic building in Montreal, nice addition to very boxy 70-ies skyline, especially around Rene Levesque. Remainds me of some of the modern Russian architecture ... MTLskyline October 22nd, 2005, 08:26 PM One Problem with this: It will roughly be about the same size as the CCE so will we be able to see it from the front? You are to blame October 22nd, 2005, 08:38 PM great looking building, but a little more height would have been fantastic, maybe the developers next building will be taller because of the demand for this one habsfan October 23rd, 2005, 01:56 AM great looking building, but a little more height would have been fantastic, maybe the developers next building will be taller because of the demand for this one My thoughts exactly. I would have loved to have seen this building with 37floors instead of 27 floors. I hope this developper decided to go ahead with another project. This building was 85% sold in the span of 3 months...and the units don't come cheap! habsfan October 23rd, 2005, 01:57 AM One Problem with this: It will roughly be about the same size as the CCE so will we be able to see it from the front? If by the fornt ou mean from the south side, then NO you won'T see it cause it'll be shorter than E-Commerce Center 1. MTLskyline October 23rd, 2005, 04:27 AM ^ Another reason to add on 10 floors :yes: Ashok October 23rd, 2005, 07:56 AM an extra 10 floor will definitely add a vibe to the skyline ! SKYMTL October 25th, 2005, 04:25 PM I would think that adding 10 floors is a viable option considering the speed at which the thing sold the first 80%. Perhaps someone could drop by the sales office and see if there is an official floor count. Dino Domingo October 26th, 2005, 04:09 AM This is great! But Montreal needs TALLER buildings! habsfan October 26th, 2005, 05:13 AM SKYMTL, I can tell you that they will build the thing with 27 floors. COnstruction has already started |
