[weird]

All the projects seems classical. Anyway i guess they are cute, and they will fix well in a city like montreal.
Tour l´Epiné, Le 1500, OSM and the Musée are really nice

[Brett]

Neat projects, I really like the Mackay one. Nice to see there is something going on in Montreal!

[mtlteg]

yeah thers a bit of a residential boom going on , but not much in the area of office towers

[samsonyuen]

Lots of great buildings. When is the new casino to be built, and would it be where the Casino is now? How about the Musée de Juif?

[Mosaic]

superb and creative city. I was wondering why Montreal has got a height limit.?

[Woko]

Mosaic: Because we don't want that the Mont Royal (the little mountain behind the downtown) is hidden by skyscrapers. The Mont Royal is beautiful and we have a nice view of the city on top of it.
Look at these pictures:
The Mont Royal
View of the city from it

samsonyuen: We knew this week that the Health minister is not ok with the site of the new casino. We don't know where is the proposed new site.

[Dino Domingo]

Hey these are great!

Montreal could use a boom. It's not as busy as Toronto's or Vancouver's.

[Taller, Better]

Nice to see things proposed to go up... some are great and some are, well...
a bit questionable. But, it is good to see an increase in construction!

[rj2uman]

So many good ones. But one really horrible one stands out.

Terrasses Windsor........what were they thinking?? They look like the failed projects from Chicago, NY, etc!!

[rt_0891]

Nice architecture. Really blends in well with Montreal's character.

[rocky]

le concorde and le cristal de la montagne are lovely!

[2 for the road]

about 50/50 for looks but at least montreal is getting some action like the slut she is.


j/k

[CrazyCanuck]

I didn't realize the magnitude of Montreal's residential growth, it's quite substantial. There are a lot of qulaity projects there.
