It appears as if Montreal is set to join in on the condo building.
The city temporarily avoided the taller residential buildings of Toronto and New York . This is due to the fact that Montreal had a large stock of older schools, churches, and factories which were ideal for new core development. During the last referendum bargain houses went up for sale daily. These same homes, some of which were on the Plateau, are now too expensive for most Montrealers.

So, architecturally, just expect more and more of that 'Montreal modernism' but taller.
