The City doesn’t give a shit. Imagine Devimco heads doing a double take when they find out that by doing a little window dressing, they have even more power than they thought.

I have been following the Projet Griffintown proposal closely - I am not as agaisnt it as some but was worried at the lack of heritage conservation. I am at a loss as to how the adopted PPU could be worse. Presumably in its submission Devimco propsoed to retain or rebuild a certain number of buildings. Why would the city, in response to concerns that not enough was being preserved, ask or allow Devimco to demolish more than it asked for? Is this really correct? Now I’m alarmed.

[...] Why The Swedes Are Right, And Claude Provencher Is Wrong. Background on two Swedish eco-friendly developments roughly the same size as Griffintown, which further proves the kind of thinking the Gazette article discussed. Also calls into question architect Provencher’s unquestioning support for the project, compared to much better-thought-out projects he’s worked on such as the Quartier International and condos at the east end of the Old Port.

Hello Jeff,
I read your article in the gazette and since my son also ownes a Condo in Phase II of the Lowney’s Building , I have been concerned since the construction of Phase III that the height of Phase IV will block the stunning views from the roof top. If this happens the value of your properties will go down. I tlod my son to get together and unite of this subject. I would actualy use the example of the Lowney Building as to why the developpers of the Griffintown project cannot be trusted and nor can the city officials to look after the best interest of those who already purchased in the area.It was the article in this morning’s Gazeete that made me write. Give me a call I may be able to assist.

Montreal still has the capacity to be one of the great cities to live in in North America. The Devimco project is more Atlanta than it is Montreal.And Atlanta is a nightmare!
