Why not live at Habitat?
Globe and Mail looks at a unit for sale at Habitat – the listing is here – and interviews the current owner without asking her why she’s selling it.

Hi Kate, the link is to a single image of the property, not the listing itself.

Fixed, thanks!

Wow, that real estate agent is really earning their cut!

You mean by getting news stories about it?

Right, yeah. I mean, there is arguably a little nugget of news value to it, but it’s quite a coup to say you even got it in an English-language paper in a wider market.

I’ve always been mildly fascinated by Habitat as living space. I realize it isn’t exactly news.

They’re now offering guided tours of Habitat. I went on one in the summer and it was fascinating.

I went on a guided tour as well (perhaps in 2018) after hearing about it on this blog if I’m not mistaken. It was really interesting and cool. I remember walking it from Jean Drapeau metro station…and it being a really long walk on a hot summer day. Overall, the guided tour was pretty neat and if they’re still offering them, I might do it again.

@JP: there is now a new port-side promenade across the street from habitat, so the walk will be a bit more interesting.
Wish though that they would so something with the renamed “Parc de Dieppe” bc all they have done so far is to rip out the interesting info panels and the very nice bronze cardinal points sculpture from its previous incarnation as parc du Cité du Havre. Oh, and let part of the post-side walkway fall into the water. We can do better than abandon this magnificently-located jewel of an in-the-middle-of-the-river park, perhaps?
Do I need to add that the wanton destruction of the interesting elements of parc du Cité du Havre and the associated complete failure to launch the parc du Dieppe was all Denis Coderre’s fault?
