Condos on Leonard de Vinci - Francois-Perrault

This super bland new condo project was built in the parking lot of the former business that was on 18th ave (see post below). It's on Leonard de Vinci in the Francois-Perrault district. It's a fairly big piece of land and the project was ongoing when I was there last August. Most of the units were empty, with just a few looking like they were occupied.

The land of the former business was fairly big, at least 2/3s of the block. The building with the question mark is the one in the post below.

Demolished business on 18th ave - Francois-Perrault

The building in the image below, from Google Streetview, is gone, demolished, as seen in the image above which I took last August. It was situated on 18th ave in the Francois-Perrault district. The business overlapped unto Leonard de Vinci ave which, as the post above shows, condos have already  been built there (you can see the back of the condos in the first picture). I decided to do two separate posts for each individual streets but they're basically the same project.

When I was there last August, the building/house above, located just next to the empty lot on 18th ave, was still there but looked abandoned. I don't know if was going to be demolished or not

Garage on Jarry and Leonard de Vinci - Saint-Michel

This garage on Jarry and avenue Leonard de Vinci in Saint-Michel has been closed for some time and regular VM contributor Denis Heraud took some pictures. I checked google maps and the garage was closed back then so it's been abandoned for some time now. A billboard shows a new development that will be built there. I was on Leonard de Vinci avenue last August and I missed it so I'm glad Denis noticed it.

Thanks Denis. Great stuff!

The Changing Face of Saint-Henri - Completed coverage

So this ends, for now, the massive changes going on in Saint-Henri. Whether it's a good thing or not well only time will tell. There are a couple of places I didn't include and might in the future. I also have to do updates on a few places, such as the new construction on Turcot st. I have such a huge backlog of photos and stuff that it's time to move on to new areas, neighborhoods, districts.

Vanished building on Walnut st - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

The building seen below used to be on Walnut street. Today it's an empty lot. I have no idea what business used to be there.

This is an overview of all the condemned/empty/disappeared buildings in the area

Single level garage type building on Walnut st - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

This single level structure on Walnut street in Saint-Henri was closed/empty/abandoned when I was there in August. There was a note on the door on the other side telling folks they've moved in Ville St-Laurent. This is just next to the building on Walnut street that disappeared. Will it share the same fate?

Abandoned house on Turcot st - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

This abandoned multi-unit house on Turcot street in Saint-Henri was set to be renovated or destroyed. It's not too clear but my source said that some changes have recently been made there and I need to go back there to see what's going.  Hopefully, they'll do the same thing they did to the house on Bourassa and Turcot (see below).

Vanishing small houses on Turcot st - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

Small abandoned house on Turcot street in Saint-Henri. Apparently there was recent changes there so I need to go back and see what was done to it.

Amazing tree in the front yard!

Renovated house on Bourassa & Turcot - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

This small house on Bourassa and Turcot in Saint-Henri was abandoned and in ruins but was recently renovated into a three unit house. Very nice. One of the few renovations in the area which kept the Saint-Henri look.

It used to be a two-unit house but they squeezed in an extra condo/apartment, which is not so nice. Must be small units on the second floor. But I still like it. Cool stuff.

Building on St-Remi st - NDG

This building on St-Remi street, situated just at the edge of NDG and Saint-Henri, will be demolished, victim of the Turcot Interchange demolition project.

Condos on land of former St-Elizabeth church - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

Big and oppressive new combo condo/HLM building where the Saint-Elizabeth church used to be on De Courcelle and St-Jacques. It was also known as the Sainte-Elisabeth du Portugal. You can view images of the church's demolition at this website. The church itself wasn't the most beautiful ever built but wow what a change. After the church was demolished, the land stood empty for a couple of years (as seen below in the google streetview image)  before this delicate thingy was built.

Multiple condo projects on Philipe-Lalonde (part 1) - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

Multiple condo projects completed (below) or still in construction (above) on a relatively new street, rue Philippe-Lalonde, in Saint-Henri. The entire St-Ambroise area near Chemin de la Côte-Saint-Paul is brand spanking new. Few of them are stellar looking. I imagine this is what developers would like Montreal to turn into.

Block-wide condo building on St-Ambroise (part 2) - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

This block wide condo project on St-Ambroise in Saint-Henri, near Chemin de la Côte-Saint-Paul, is one of many going on in the same area. Not a very good looking building. Behind and around it are more condos being built. On the opposite side of the street are more condos with red bricks (see below).

The basement units have railings which seem totally superfluous and they make the whole structure look like some sort of prison. Image above: google streetview.

Block-wide condo building on St-Ambroise (part 3) - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

This block wide condo project on St-Ambroise in Saint-Henri, near Chemin de la Côte-Saint-Paul, is one of many going on in the same area. I don't know what there was there before, houses, factory or an empty lot.
