I'm not sure if this is in the right section so please move it if it should be in Suburbs. Copied from the Development Rumors Thread:

Found a report on this: Cases 01009, 01010, 01011 (http://www.halifax.ca/commcoun/hecc/documents/HECCCase01009.pdf)
Simply put its 194 townhouses and 244 condos in three five-storey buildings and one six-storey building. It is being done in two development agreements because the six-storey building requires a rezoning so it has its own agreement. The properties are targeted for seniors and first-time buyers with the developer requesting assisted-living status for one or two of the condo buildings. The condo buildings will be made of brick, and concrete. They have already provided a park. The road nework is a loop (Nadia Dr) with the townhouses fronting this street and the condo buildings behind (next to Victoria Rd). The six-storey building will have a driveway onto Windmill Road (at Nootka Dr). The W.M. Fares Group (the Trillium is another one of theirs) is behind this project as well.
The buildings aren't anything special but it is a good infill project for a part of town that should of been filled in a long time ago.
Since we know a lot about this project can someone create a thread for this project. I'm too tired right now.
Hopefully that will initiate a drive to clean up Windmill Road in that area, with possibly some new commercial development. Add to that improvements of the roads and interchanges around Princess Margaret Blvd, it might just make Shannon Park that much more enticing for a new stadium with some commercial and parkland space.
