Lower Main Saint-Laurent blvd - Montréal

The lower main on Saint-Laurent blvd was set to be demolished, up to Cafe Cleopatra, in April 2012. I haven't been there since then and haven't heard any news about its demolition. The facade is pretty much what's left for a good part of it, which is typical of Facade Montréal.

Rue Clark - Montréal

Rue Clark in downtown Montreal. This is the back of what's on rue Saint-Laurent. It's been like this since forever. Part of it was set to be demolished in April. I haven't been there since. Like above, it's amazing that something so dilapidated still exists in Montreal.

Update: Beaver Hall & Viger - Montréal

Update on the Altoria project on Beaver Hall and Viger in downtown Montréal. I've already posted about this here. Nothing much more to add except that I really used to love this corner. The photos speak for themselves.

Update: New condo @ former garage - Saint-Henri

part of the changing face of Saint-Henri

This is the new condo building that replaced the garage on the corner of St-Jacques and Ste-Marguerite in Saint-Henri. I already posted about this last year here.

Demolished building on l'Hotel de Ville & Charlotte - Montréal

A building with multiple dwellings was demolished to make way for a new condo project on the corner of l'Hotel de Ville and Charlotte, just across the street of the big condo project (post below). I don't know how old the building was but it was clearly renovated years ago. The greystone work looks old but the renovations weren't really working with it. It's still a surprised that it was demolished.

Condo project on l'Hotel de Ville - Montréal

Another massive condo project, without a name, that's going on right now with little fanfare or totally under the radar. There are many condo projects going on right now where they don't even bother  identifying it or are totally anonymous. No sales office. There's no billboard or anything saying what's going on. Nothing. It's on the corner of l'Hotel de Ville and Charlotte in Downtown Montréal. After a little research on them interwebs I found out that it's actually phase 3 of a construction project that started years ago with that ugly bland building in the background of the top photo. A huge parking lot was situated there before this project.

Condo projects on Duvernay and Charlevoix - Little Burgundy

Multiple condo projects on the corner of Charlevoix and Duvernay in Little Burgundy. A parking lot and an unidentified building (storage?) were previously there at that location.
