Well let me remind you of a little project called The Glass Observatory.
This summer, Montreal's Old Port will be getting a $78 million makeover. The plan is to turn the Alexandra Pier and the Iberville passenger terminal into a new modern cruise-ship docking station.
The goal is to attract more cruise-ships to stop off in Montreal as part of their itineraries.
In addition to this, the dock will also be equipped with a gigantic glass lighthouse with a huge 360° observation deck on top, which is sure the be the most spectacular vantage point in Montreal
But that's still not all, there will be a secondary docking station built to welcome more than 1 boat at a time.
A new "green roof" lookout will be build on top of the station, and The end of the pier be renovated and will allow pedestrians and boats to access the river.
