What people want: Parisian style urban density with quaint, pedestrian friendly streets and minimal cars and convenient access to mass transit. What billionaires decide to build: This BS
Im pedestrian and I want that kind of project. Shopping inside in Montreal is better and useful than shopping in the street. The winter in Montreal make us difficult to find a way to go out. And it's a nice addon for our city I find. Sometimes I find that our city is old and the malls are very out to date and sometimes, that city is boring, especially for us people that living in RDP, so this modern mall will be a nice add for mtl
For those who are not familiar with Montreal, the development is being built next to the interchange between the main east-west and north-south highways that cross the city. The problem is that the main north-south highway does not cross the east west highway directly, there is a bit of a jog along the east-west highway (2.7 km or 1.7 miles) connecting the northern and southern branches of the main north-south highway. That short jog and the two interchanges at each end of it are always congested. This development will make traffic much worse in that area where it's already very bad. The only good thing about the site is that it's connected to a metro station that is presently one of the least busy.
As a montrealer, many of us perceive this project with positivity. Shopping inside in Montreal is useful and in some season, better than shopping in the street. For example, and the winter in Montreal is brutal, the most brutal in north America, that make us difficult to find a way to go out in january and febuary. So I dont see no reason to be mad about that projet. We see that as a + for our city and something . Sometimes I find that our city is old and the malls are very out to date and sometimes, that city is boring, especially for us people that living in RDP, so this modern mall will be a nice add for our city
it rains all last winters ( 2022, 2023 , 2024 ) and 2 snowstorm . you are so dramatic . Toronto is even colder than Montreal because of the humidity level from lake Ontari . Chicago is colder , windy and gets more snow than Montreal . Summer are tropical in Montreal and often warmer than Miami.
Montreal is much colder in winter than Toronto, not even close. Montreal averages over 200 cm of snow, Toronto got 50 cm last year Montreals coldest winter Temps are -5/-15 Toronto is -1/-9
Exactly. No one really gets that. Self-sustainability means you work with what you already have, maintain what you already have, and keep nature in mind. We need to be able to sustain ourselves, and not rely on our needs being met from outside sources. This whole area should have gone back to nature and made into an urban forest. There are so many things we need in this city and this project isn't one of them.
this project is too much of a mall for people to come with their cars and seems to add only luxury housing, which is better than no housing at all, but far from perfect
gucci, vessace and more and you want those people to use the subway..... ok and with the central center and rockland less then 1 mile from this stupid construction what is this an answer to ? there is already 2 cinema complexe 2 miles apparts and 3 shopping centers in the same area. all of which are kinda dying since the pandemic
Montréal se veut en français avec l'institut économique de Montréal. Mais de quelle économie vous voulez en 2024. Je préfère le Montréal des années 70,80 et 90. Le temps de Blue Bonnet, les Expos de Montréal, les calèches du vieux Montréal, la lutte Québécoise, un centre ville animée et j'en passe. Plusieurs sièges sociaux ont abandonné la ville pour s'installer ailleurs. Trop de taxes, trop d'amendes, trop de permis, trop de réglementations, trop de contrôle. Trop de construction et des cônes routière. L'immigration ne s'adapte pas comme souhaité. Beaucoup trop de pauvreté et de sans abris. Vous voulez de l'économie, alors donnez les moyens aux citoyens de se divetifier et de se créer. Montréal me dégoûte. Voilà se que j'en pense
HAVING WATCHED THIS VIDEO CLIP , I must say this project sucks , I heard about Louis Vuitton and Gucci and three thousand and two hundred fifty condos , electric transport , bicycle paths , and lovely living conditions , but no where did I hear a number for low cost of living dwellings , another project were they we paid the fine , and no dwellings that are affordable housing . I mean we really can not have street people walking into Gucci . CAN WE !

What about winter? These projects are not meant for climates such as Montréal. As a local, I find this very ambitious, and the future will tell us if it will be successful or not.
They won’t because we have a crazy rule that no building must be taller than mont Royal shit … that’s why mega projects went to Toronto back in those days Ppl are bit nuts here also a part of Montreal east don’t accept the new mega REM metro project as well
This along with Mayor Plante's agenda will seal the fate of downtown Montreal. Traffic on the Decarie expressway had a design capacity of 100,000 when it was built and now it is at 350,000. push that up to 420,000 and there will be a lot of frustrated commuters. The interchange with the 40 was rebuilt a few years ago and may have to undergo expensive modification to ease a bottleneck that could extend 5 kms in all directions.
The project itself isn't that bad, but if they manage at least to keep the old building would be nice. People who own property across the street will have a price boom in already expensive Montreal. Still, the highway that connects is already congested beyond belief. The city's 15th Highway route is a nightmare from a horror movie
Which billion dollar building isn't controversial 😂

@@patatebanine4278 he's referring more to the way that cities are currently built being inefficient and causing social issues
And also high living costs.

and the metro station is on the other side of the Highway... The target market for that ridiculous project doesn't use public transit.
@@claudelemire2451 I think you meant to say 'doesn't use'.

Can't wait to hear the new residents complain about the airport plane traffic
Seems like there are an awful lot of these luxurious complexes being built around the world...

It’s almost like the global elites are build facilities where they won’t have to even look at the plebeian underclass.
They do this futuristic kind of outdoor space in others citys of the World?! Good idea! Some flowers in front of the house it's also a great idea!

Do we really want Louis Vuitton and Gucci in a sustainable city? If yes, we did not understand sustainability!

A million dollars per day construction means this is gonna be an expensive bust. Who can afford this?
gucci, vessace and more and you want those people to use the subway..... ok
and with the central center and rockland less then 1 mile from this stupid construction what is this an answer to ?
there is already 2 cinema complexe 2 miles apparts and 3 shopping centers in the same area. all of which are kinda dying since the pandemic
Buzz words, lifestyle, green, luxe, all means stupid is as stupid does. Bonjour hi.
Only 100 auto charging spaces??
Better add a lot more.

So basically it's like a mini Vegas in Canada.
Montreal was Canada's Sin City.
Still is
your AI narration is terrible. the narration is disturbing and distracting. unwatchable.

I hate when I hear the word 'LUXURY". That excludes most Montrealers.
This project already finished and successful in my fictional world
You have videos depicting TORONTO in parts of this.
There is no residential in this project. And this is going bankrupt before opening.
Spending money most don't have. Looks nice, but build a link to 520
Rip traffic on the 40 and 15

This project will definitely solve problems.
It won't solve anything, they axed all residential proposals from the project. All it is now is a future dead mall
crummy articling; might it've been fabricated by flimsiestware..?
Haha I love the way they mispronounced Decarie
It's an AI
i hate too many people or built up areas, no matter how nice. I just want to be left alone
they need to build tall building
They won’t because we have a crazy rule that no building must be taller than mont Royal shit … that’s why mega projects went to Toronto back in those days
Ppl are bit nuts here also a part of Montreal east don’t accept the new mega REM metro project as well
Theses tall buildings are so ugly
quality is more important than tall . Skyscrapers do not define the quality of life but superficial and not sustainable .
Montreal is Canadas third largest city
The homeless people will love hanging out here
Mahhhhntreal. Ugh. How come text-to-speech can't handle toponyms?

Yeah but I bet with the added traffic I'm sure many going west will take the 20 to the 13 and go that way instead

which old building you are talking about?
You mean across the highway.
@@shauncameron8390 Are you an idiot?
