It’s not quite done: the marquee is going up this summer, the store signage is still “temporary” and the architectural drawings show that the “A UNITED THEATRE 1922” painted sign needs to be repainted.

Thanks, Pundit.
I also notice that work’s being done on the façade of the old theatre on St‑Denis at Bélanger/Mozart that’s been a Pharmaprix for years, but I haven’t seen any story on that.

I’m surprised the old Rivoli (the Pharmaprix) is being redone only 15 years after its last renovation. I wonder if they’re going to reinstall the original windows like what has been done at the Plaza.
It’s also surprising to learn in the La Presse article that the Plaza has no heritage status whatsoever. Good thing its owner seems to care about its value. Incidentally, he has also been a vocal supporter of the summertime pedestrianization of St-Hubert, Mont-Royal, Wellington and Ontario, all of which he has shops on.

I know of a couple theatre groups from McGill who are performing shows there.
