Another new hotel and condo tower will soon be going up in the corridor between Ste-Catherine St. and Old Montreal, the latest in a flurry of mega-projects that will radically alter the look of the downtown core in the next couple of years.

Property manager COGIR and the real estate arm of the Fonds de Solidarité FTQ unveiled plans Wednesday for a $200-million-plus mixed-use structure rising 39 floors that will cover the entire block bound by Viger, de Bleury, de la Gauchetière and Hermine Sts., across from Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle.

Called Humaniti, the project will include a 200-room hotel, 335 rental units, 140 condos, 70,000 square feet of office space, 20,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, an outdoor pool and terrasse, five levels of underground parking, and five electric car-sharing vehicles for the exclusive use of its residents.

COGIR president Mathieu Duguay called it “the first development of its kind in Canada,” because of the variety of usages — a total of five — in a single complex.
