Condo towers to go up around Montreal heritage building in the Plateau

Several new condo towers are set to be constructed around a heritage building in Montreal's Plateau district, prompting mixed reactions from the community. The development, approved by the city, aims to enhance the residential appeal of the area but raises concerns about preserving the historical integrity of the site. Proponents argue it will offer economic benefits and increased housing. Critics worry it will overshadow the heritage building and alter the neighborhood's character. The project reflects the ongoing tension between urban development and preserving cultural landmarks.
