Two malls in Montreal's east end to be turned into housing
A large swath of land in Montreal's east end is slated to be turned into a new neighbourhood, complete with 7,000 housing units, commercial spaces and a new park. The area on Jean-Talon Street and Langelier Boulevard in the Saint-Léonard borough, about the size of 25 football fields, currently has two malls, which will be repurposed. The city says the 1,450,000-square-metre sector is a major heat island, which could be transformed into 'a living environment that promotes active mobility, social diversity and quality urban environment.' Developer Groupe MACH says it plans to include 1,300 units of social and community housing, family homes, an elementary school and several public amenities. It estimates the project will take 15 years and $3.5 billion to complete. It will be built in seven phases. The first phase will comprise five residential towers with 1,000 housing units — both condos and rentals — along with 250 social and community housing units for students. A cultural centre with a library and auditorium laid out around a public square on a future Metro station is also slated for phase one. The square will have underground parking and a shopping area. Depending on government approval, two high-rises will be built directly on the future Langelier Blue Line Metro station. Groupe MACH says it expects to finish the first phase at the same time as the new station's opening in 2031. On top of the new Metro station, the developer says it wants to encourage 'soft mobility' by creating pedestrian zones and bike lanes between shops, homes and public spaces. Groupe MACH says the idea is to make it possible to walk to the Metro from one end to the other in less than eight minutes. 'The full project is planned in a way that you don't need to have a car,' said Daniel Arbour, vice-president of major projects at Groupe MACH. To mitigate the urban heat island effect, some 1,000 trees are also slated to be planted. There are also plans for a linear park, green roofs and two urban promenades in addition to the public square. The linear park will continue off the Boisé Jean-Milot with a pedestrian link to Félix-Leclerc Park to revitalize the green corridor along the former Molson Creek. 'This is the largest mixed-use development to be completed in the Greater Montreal area for several years,' said Arbour. 'This project is based on a strong conviction: urban planning centered on people, aimed at repairing a run-down urban fabric and breathing new life into a sector that is losing momentum.' Over the last few years, the City of Montreal has been putting out calls for projects to revitalize and innovate its east end through sustainable reindustrialization, green businesses and social innovation.

Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus look loved-up during first outing as couple
Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley are now red carpet official – the new couple put on a loved-up display in Rome on Saturday night. The superstar couple, 63 and 59 respectively, have been linked with each other since they worked together on the 2021 film Christmas In Paradise. As of April 2025, neither star had commented on the dating rumours officially, but they did post romantic photographs together on social media. And now the two have gone red carpet official with the pair stepping out in glamorous outfits to announce their love in the Italian capital of Rome over the weekend. Elizabeth opted for a bright pink gown for the night, while Billy Ray chose a dark suit, sunglasses, and skin-tight trousers to complete his stylish outfit. The two were in attendance at the launch of the brand new Orizzonti | Rosso exhibition, which opened over the weekend. It's the first time Billy Ray and Elizabeth have been seen together since 'hard launching' their relationship over Easter this year with a romantic snap on Instagram. The pair both wore casual clothing and sat down for a sweet smooch in the sunshine, with the two comfortably leaning up against a fence on a farm. In April, a source had confirmed to People Magazine that Billy Ray and Elizabeth's romance was very much real, and revealed how they first met. 'Liz is great and visited him for Easter. They've been seeing each other romantically for a little bit. And how lucky is he? Liz is lovely. She's very warm, positive and the best to be around. The source also emphasised how much they enjoyed making Christmas In Paradise together adding: 'They had a great time shooting that movie together – it was beautiful and relaxed, and it really stuck with him.' Elizabeth also uploaded a picture of the two while they spent a weekend away in Tennessee, with Billy Ray putting both his arms around her as they leaned up against a tree. Billy Ray's new love comes amid reports of a Cyrus family feud involving his children – popstar and actor Miley Cyrus, and 00s hitmaker Trace Cyrus. The Achy Breaky Heart singer has apparently been in something of a war of words with the rest of the Cyrus clan over the last 18 months. More Trending Speculation first began in earnest in 2024 when Miley, 32, appeared to skip her dad's wedding to Australian singer Firerose – their marriage lasted only months. Before that, Miley's brother and Metro Station singer Trace publicly sent several emotional messages to Billy Ray, saying he was 'worried' about his dad. Two weeks ago, Miley opened up on her relationship with Billy Ray, writing on Instagram: 'My dad and I have had our challenges over the years. 'Now, in my 30s, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family.' Got a story?

Miley Cyrus' dad Billy Ray breaks silence on divorce that sparked family feud
Amid family feud rumours, Billy Ray Cyrus has heaped unexpected praise on his ex-wife Tish, who is also mum to popstar daughter Miley. The actor and 90s country singer, 63, has apparently been in something of a war of words with the rest of the Cyrus clan over the last 18 months. Speculation first began in earnest in 2024 when Miley, 32, appeared to skip her dad's wedding to Australian singer Firerose – their marriage lasted only months. Before that, Miley's brother and Metro Station singer Trace publicly sent several emotional messages to Billy Ray, saying he was 'worried' about his dad. And after Miley recently quashed rumours of a fall-out between her and mum Tish, 57, Billy Ray has now spoken positively of the woman he was married to for 30 years. Sunday, May 11 marked Mother's Day in the United States, and the Achy Breaky Heart singer had only words of love for he mother of his two daughters and one son. On Instagram, he posted a lengthy and heartfelt statement, paying tribute to the mothers in his life, alongside a personal photograph of his own mum. 'Happy Mother's Day to all the strong mothers out there. Here's a couple that made our family who and what we are,' later saying: 'Tish Cyrus was and is the very definition of a strong mother.' To his 1.7 million followers, he added: 'Trust me, I'm the first to admit being married to me was not easy. I'm very good at making mistakes. [I'm a] very imperfect man. Billy Ray and Tish's divorce was finalised in 2023, but it was revealed that the pair had been separated for some time beforehand – and it wasn't the first time they'd filed for divorce from each other. In 2010, it was Billy who filed for divorce from Tish, eventually dropping proceedings the following year. In 2013, Tish filed for divorce from Billy Raybut entered couples' therapy and stayed together instead. By 2017, the couple had filed for divorce again but the case was thrown out after they both failed to appear in court, which meant that only in 2022 did the divorce proceedings finally go through. In the Instagram post, Billy Ray also gave love to daughter Miley and praised her 'guts and courage and wisdom' and strength,' admitting that the Cyrus family have 'been through a lot'. Billy Ray did offer hope to Cyrus fans, however, who wish to see an end to the cold war in the press, revealing: 'We are so close to a full healing.' More Trending All three of Billy Ray, Miley, and Braison were seen in a sweet family photo, uploaded to Instagram by Billy to celebrate Braison's 31st birthday – Miley's partner Maxx Morando was also present. The statement made by Billy Ray on Sunday comes just a few weeks after he appeared to confirm his romance with British model and Hollywood actress Elizabeth Hurley, 59. Billy Ray and Liz seemed to confirm their relationship with a cosy Instagram picture – the pair were seen sharing a romantic kiss while sat down in a grassy field.

Billy Ray Cyrus's ex wife ‘suspected he'd got close to Elizabeth Hurley on film set'
BILLY Ray Cyrus's ex-wife Tish reportedly suspected he had romantic feelings for Elizabeth Hurley over three years ago – though he always denied it. The British icon and country singer seemed to confirm they were now in a relationship on Easter Sunday with a loved-up looking post on Instagram. 5 5 Elizabeth's son, Damien Hurley, later shared his support for the post as well, adding fuel to the fire that it was a 'hard launch' of their romance. But according to Daily Mail, the pair's close bond was years in the making – with Tish, who was married to Billy Ray for 28 years, growing suspicious of them back three years ago. Billy Ray and Elizabeth got to know each other while filming the 2022 movie Christmas In Paradise, with the site claiming their bond worried his then-wife. 'Tish had her thoughts and suspicions at the time that he was cheating on her with Liz, but Billy Ray flat out denied it,' the source told the site. 'They got very close on the set and seeing that they are together now is a slap in the face for Tish, but it also confirms that she was likely right about her suspicions.' The source added that the pair had 'never stopped being in contact'. Tish and Billy Ray called time on their near 30-year marriage in April 2022, but they were still together at the time of filming Christmas in Paradise. The couple share three children – Miley, Noah and Braison – with Billy Ray adopting Tish's children Brandi and Trace from her previous marriage. Since they married in 1993, the family created a musical dynasty, with Miley Cyrus becoming an international pop icon, Noah Cyrus becoming an actress and singer as well, and Trace leading 'Shake It' pop-punk group Metro Station before going on to other bands. However, since Tish and Billy Ray's 2022 split, the family appear to have become divided, with children missing from both Tish and Billy Ray's subsequent weddings. Billy Ray Cyrus finalizes divorce from Firerose and will pay ex-wife $0 after nasty court battle over 7-month marriage Billy Ray married Firerose in 2021, but the pair filed for divorce after just seven months of marriage. A nasty divorce battle followed, with Firerose walking away from the relationship with $0. Tish is now married to Prison Break actor Dominic Purcell, tying the knot in August 2023 with Miley as her maid of honour. Trace has also spoken out about his father, saying in a long post back in January that he 'barely recognized' the person he once 'idolized' following his performance at Trump's inauguration. 5 5
