Authorities have levied a $157,000 penalty against the owners of the northeast portion of Îlot Voyageur after the downtown building has remained under continuous construction for nearly two decades. The site, located in central Montreal, has appeared as an unfinished project for about 20 years, prompting municipal enforcement.

Local residents have expressed growing impatience with the prolonged state of the building, which has become a persistent eyesore in the city centre.
