During an announcement made by Quebec Premier, Pauline Marois, on Monday morning, she revealed that the abandoned downtown inter-city bus station adjacent to Montreal’s prime métro crossroads will be soon demolished for construction of Revenue Quebec offices, which will be an overall $246-million project. She exposed that almost half of the roughly 5,000 tax-agency workers dispersed across a dozen rented locations on Montreal Island will be relocated to the new building in 2019.
Marois revealed that the project aimed at replacing the barricaded old station near the Berri-UQAM métro stop will result in the property being owned by the Quebec government. Marois estimated that the provincial taxpayers are expected to overall save more than $40 million over the next 30 years. It was elucidated that the new building will cater 58,000 square metres of floor space and nearly more than 2,500 Revenue Quebec workers will be located there. Consequently, Marois added that “we will pay less per square metre,” while explaining that the project includes commercial and storage components which will be completely owned by Revenue Quebec.
Marios explained that one part of the building is planned to be seven storeys high, while the other is projected to rise 14 storeys. She alleged that “I hope they will use a lot of wood.” The site is just south of the Îlot Voyageur, a real-estate debacle involving l’Université du Québec à Montréal that has cost Quebec taxpayers an estimated $225 million. Marois declared to reporters that “this is the end of the Îlot Voyageur saga.”
