Wanna buy Westmount square? You have until August 12 to submit your bid for the office/commercial section of Westmount Square.

The vendor says that the place is usually rented out at a higher percentage but they intentionally let some spaces go empty for a residential conversion project that never happened.
The building is a much-ballyhooed creation of architect Mies Van der Rohe who sought to go for an exoskeleton sort of approach. Phyllis Bronfman, longtime Canada's wealthiest woman, was one of his big fans and local proponents.
The two other towers, of the residential variety, are not for sale, just the 193,794-square-foot office tower and a two-storey, 53,866 square-foot pavillon and the 80,339-square-foot retail mall as well as 334-indoor parking spots.
Plus you get that awesome tunnel to Alexis Nihon, one of my favourite spots in the city, especially when there's a busker playing there.
Hundreds of homes were demolished in the area in 1965 to build the project, which was described as "the biggest thing that ever happened in Westmount," probably because it pays a load of taxes to the municipality.
