Yes, it does, but not that many of them. I remember hearing that the maximum strength one could reach is 6, which shouldn't be a problem (because of the constuction code).

27.09.2012 /// The Quartier des Spectacles Partnership presented the winners of the 2012 Light Therapy competition. The two-phase competition was aimed at selecting two immersive winter experiences for Quartier des Spectacles and promoting Montreal-based creativity.

Phase 1, presented in collaboration with Place des Arts, sought a project designed to showcase Place des Festivals and the Place des Arts esplanade with a day/night interactive installation open to the public from December 6, 2012 to February 3, 2013.

Phase 2 sought a creative team to produce an architectural video projection concept to run from December 6, 2012 to March 2, 2013, linking eight separate sets of building façades: the Grande Bibliothèque, UQAM’s Centre de design, cégep du Vieux Montréal, Place de la Paix, Place Émilie-Gamelin, UQAM’s Président–Kennedy building, the UQAM bell tower and the building surrounding the Saint-Laurent metro station.

Lauréat: ATOMIC3 + APPAREIL ARCHITECTURE

How come developing the hut of an entrance to the station at the city's signature boulevard has been shunned, now for 46 years? I've seen many changes occur around town, thus it puzzles me to be suspecting this town incapable of rising above its stale, stuffy, snooty stance from shirking looking after St-Laurent station

Anybody else here interested at learning the accumulation of findings coming out of the corruption probe as I am? Although not that keen, it is the first of the likes of the OJ Simpson trial or Gomery inquiry that I've actually bothered to follow. Nevertheless, I'd probably become keen if its certainly-forthcoming spillover touch upon the developers' sector

Wow... En toute honnêteté, c'est une des meilleures prises de vue de Montréal que j'aie vue!! Ce projet est vraiment placé de façon stratégique au Centre-Ville...

Merci pour le lien (j'ai pris la liberté de le transmettre sur mtlurb).

Superbe projection! Manque seulement Icône et Roccabella pour densifier ce secteur qui en a bien besoin.

The top construction projects would likely be:

Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal et Centre de recherche du CHUM
McGill University Health Centre
Centre hospitalier Ste-Justine expansion
Jewish General Hospital expansion
Altoria/Aimia Office/Condo building
Courtyard Marriott/V Hotel/Appartment building
Altitude Condo building
Tour Deloitte Office building
Evolo I and II Condo buildings
District Griffin Hotel/Condo buildings and a bunch of other projets in Griffin town
Symphonia Condo buildings
A bunch of condo projects in the Triangle near De La Savane

and numerous others (cranes are all over in Montreal, Laval and the South shore) I'm sure I'm missing some other big ones
