Great. Now to be home for 2,500 people, even while still shorter than the building across the street. Not every day you get that many homes directly connected to three metro lines, a grocery store and a university. It took forever, but at least it’s going to get done. Probably.

The area needs some office spaces as well, those businesses around there need afternoon foot traffic as well.

Isn’t there still a glut of office space downtown?

There’s already a ton of daytime workers around there. Two big office towers at Place Dupuis, UQAM (which has a combined 40,000 students and workers), plus the Grande Bibliothèque and the office building that used to be home to Archambault (which now includes Le Devoir’s offices among others).
The real structural problem with the Latin Quarter is that Berri is such a hostile street and the Îlot Voyageur is a big black hole that sucks the life out of everything around it. This redevelopment and the redesign/reconstruction of Berri (slated for 2027-29 I believe) will do a huge amount of good.

I wonder what effect the Hydro-Quebec substation will have on your optimistic forecast.
