Architectural “disaster” on the Main
Le Devoir’s critic doesn’t at all like the new building put up along the Main between the Monument-National and the Café Cléopâtre. Marie Massicotte says it has no character, and that the developer ignored an earlier promise and has not integrated the stone façades of the many buildings torn down to create it.

Easily one of the worst buildings in the city. They should have just dumped those stones in a landfill.

Yes, the result is atrocious. I like that the street level of the new building on Saint-Laurent is open and will actively interact with the street (although in a kind of generic, almost sterile way compare to what used to be there), but the facades with the remaining stones look like pure architecture necrophilia to me.
