Old Montreal lot finally sold off
A piece of land in Old Montreal has finally been sold after an epic about bribes and corruption surrounding it – there’s even a timeline included. Sadly, the federal government is going to put an office building on it – not the most exciting use ever of scarce space in the Vieux. The word “revitalisation” comes in, inevitably, although it’s not as if this part of town was exactly dead.

I think it’s for the best, as long as the architecture is inspired by the area. Right across the street is pretty pathetic too, a burned down building and a weird multi-level private parking space (possibly used by La Presse).
