New Skyscrapers In Downtown Montreal Have The Highest Sky Bridge Ever Built In Quebec (PHOTOS)

Now, they're unmissable. Two monolithic black towers joined by a spindly metal lattice now occupy what used to be empty sky in the Montreal cityscape. This is Maestria, a new condo development rising out of the Quartier des Spectacles like conjoined grim reapers.

This <$500,000 Condo For Sale In Old Montreal Has 18-Foot Windows (PHOTOS)

Those imposing grey stone façades of Old Montreal conceal countless abodes with all the charm of the colonial/early industrial neighbourhood — exposed brick and wood beams, views out into the maze of local alleyways — and the comfort of modern amenities. Many of those homes have ridiculous price tags as a result. But this condo for sale in Montreal's historic core strikes a rare balance: antique architectural appeal and, given the neighbourhood, a ~relatively~ reasonable cost.

Hitting the market at $499,500, the home is considerably less expensive than its exorbitantly priced neighbours — at least for now. It's not hard to imagine a bidding war driving up the cost.
