Montreal French Super Hospital CHUM Keeps On Growing

Last time I wrote about CHUM, the site was being prepared for the new building. The old structure was being demolished. Now, look at it all grown up.

In a matter of just..what? 20+ months, this project went from (its previous building) being demolished, having the foundation done in the summer of 2010, then to this (see image below)

And now, what you see here is the building facing Viger/st Denis…

You can see the glass walls are up and they are working pretty darn fast to get the job done.

Meanwhile…

Video Blog, Episode Four: BANK Project in Old Montreal

This is something I have been looking forward to shooting since the summer time, when I was first told about the development!
I present to you a video tour of one of the hottest projects in Old Montreal at this moment.

BANK Condo Project offers us 43 units of high-end design, a graceful mix of the historic and the modern.
I had a small interview with Mickael Chaput, Real Estate Broker with McGill Immobilier and he gives us the insights of the projects architecture, features, sizes and prices.

Here is the video…

Montreal Image: Gray Morning on Notre Dame E.

Gray Morning in Old Montreal

Photo: Deyanira Bautista.

I took a little walk in the neighbourhood with my camera the other day and I saw this almost empty side of the street, slightly covered with snow.It looked so peaceful. You can see the Molson logo at the top of the building in the center faded a bit by the fog.  This is the exact location where the picture was taken.

Eatery: Resident Diner in Old Montreal

Resident - Restaurant Old Montreal

Right in the corner of Notre Dame and St Denis (or Bonsecours since it’s on the south side), you will find Resident Restaurant; a big and spacious room with high ceiling, elegant yet casual minimalist decor. The type of cooking they offer is a mix of comfort food with a twits of gourmet.
I’ve had the chance to eat there a few times (and try different dishes), and I’ve even met clients for lunch (they’ve loved it!). By far my favorites are the spicy Crab Cakes as appetizers, and for the main course I loved the Lamb Shepherd’s Pie, and the Grilled Bavette with Shallots on Red Wine Sauce.

Resident Diner

Address: 400 Notre Dame E. (corner of St Denis)
Tel: 514-844.1466.
Average price: $16-$23 per person (not including tip or alcohol)

And…Live jazz band on Saturday night.

Old Montreal Building: Sold or Not?

oldMtl-sold

Remember this building? I just got word from one of the merchants in this area that this building had finally sold. There seems to be a difference of prices between my sources, some say it went from 1.3M to a final 1.2 Million. Which isn’t bad at all since they were first asking 1.3 Million, it means it sold for 100k less than asking price. They city should be happy, n’est pas?. In any case, I haven’t checked the registry to see if the actual sale took place or not, and for how much- I’d be curious to see the actual numbers, but even better than that: what’s the new owner’s plans for this place?
For those of you whow don’t know the story, this property was offered for sale by the city of Montreal, last april- we didn’t follow up since they stop receiving offers (nothing to blog about, right?), now it seems we have a winner. You can see here the previous article.

Notre Dame Basilica: Christmas Decoration Are Up

Photo: Deya Bautista

Every year the Basilica Notre-Dame, in Old Montreal, adorns its entrance with this beautiful set of blue light angel, as their Christmas decoration. This year was no different. Although there is a lot of renovations happening in front of the church, the sight at night is simply gorgeous.

I took this picture using my Christmas present. Santa came early this year; gave me this great new lens for my not-so-new camera ;) Still learning to use the new toy, in the mean time I’ve taken a few pictures of the neighbourhood’s Christmas decor, and as the holidays approach, I’ll be sharing them with you on the future posts. Hope you enjoy them!
