The original structure was built in the 19th century and served as a hotel before becoming a pub in the 1970s. The former owner sold the building to developer Greg Koegl in 2018.

Those who opposed the original condo project are calling on other Pointe-Claire residents to submit letters of opposition to city hall by the March 8 deadline.

“This second project should be rejected. It is a monstrosity and doesn’t fit in a historical village,” said Pointe-Claire resident Tracy McBean.
