Sherbrooke’s Le Montmartre: Get it while is hot.

Right in the corner of Sherbrooke and rue de Bullion, there’s a nearly finished condo project that began construction late 2006. Le condos Montmartre, has only just a few units available for sale.
For those who frequent the area, you’ve probably seen this sign before.

Taking a quick look of the projects completed units, I came across this sign. A finished non occupied condo is already for rent.

Notice the little white sign on the window?

According to their website, the project was built on ” a heritage site, surrounded by splendid edifices built at the turn of the XXth century.”

The sales office itself looks like the heritage building, but obviously not the new construction. Wondering it the will be placing the sales office for sale as well.

As for the remaining units, their asking price ranges from 300,000+ to half a million.

1^st floor 407,700

4^th floor 559,700

5^th floor 337,100

Here are a few snap shots of the floor plans:

St Laurent Blvd: Under the knife again.

Oh yes, once again Boulevard St. Laurent is going through major repairs. This time though, the city has put up a sign with the details of the work. Thanks, that helps a lot.

Not having enough repairs done last year, the digging up started once again, this time it’s Gaz Métro turn. The city intends to add a few “cosmetic changes” to the boulevard by enlarging the sidewalks (aren’t those sidewalks brand spanking-new?): addition of lamps and trees, insertion of historic indicators (if this continues, there will be no one who’d care to read them!), taxi stands, bus stops and even the installation of parking for bicycles on the sidewalk.(Uh?). The good news, the bicycle parking is already done, at least on this side of the street:

Expect nothing but dust, noise and traffic jams in Blvd St Laurent between Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal. Hopefully, the local merchants will not go out of business. One more year of construction hell, then (crossing fingers) back to normal. Unless, of course, someone else decides to install a baby-stroller path, or something similar to it.
