Which I am guessing is when this building come up for sale.

The building has since been completely redone and named the 'Monument' . It has been divided into 7 units with the architecture designed by Blouin Tardif Architecture-Environment.

This unit is missing a stove and it is kind of hard to get a feel for the whole condo, but these shots from the developer's site help...
