Hershey Rosen — A giant ring will soon tower over avenue McGill College in downtown Montreal. The Ring, a stainless steel tube measuring 30 metres in diameter, will hang above the Esplanade PVM at Place Ville Marie, representing “a gateway to the city centre,” according to Place Ville-Marie owner Ivanhoé Cambridge.
At the foot of the visual corridor up McGill College, it could frame the view of the eastern slope of Mount Royal and the Mount Royal cross. The Ring will also feature soft lighting that Ivanhoé Cambridge says will further link it with the illuminated cross and glowing Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel.
