The website on this doesn't seem to be active yet.

Thanks.

The website is live (not too much we haven't seen before):

I noticed that they were working on the south side of the Sherbrooke Medical Building today. Really sturdy (heavy duty) looking scaffolding.

They seem to be doing some prep work.

This is one of the ugliest parking lots downtown. I will be glad when it is no more. Thanks for the pics!

ChrisDVD · June 1st, 2012, 07:03 PM

Nope....!

***Taller, Better*** · June 1st, 2012, 09:06 PM

I'm trying to be optimistic but I do wonder if this project will ever see the light of day!!

I still want to see it go up, but it has changed radically from the original vision:

I love its gothic/chicago school 1915 style that it has! Let's hope they won't change it too much!

This I think was the best design IMO.

This one seems to have been pushed to 2020. I'm getting the impression that it will never be built.

Yeah, you know the projects that go up is where we see a design, a few months later the site is closed, and a few months later some construction! This one + the 1000 Maisonneuve are never going to be built.

Out of the four designs presented so far, I've decided that this one is the best.
