There has been a not so great trend in Halifax toward putting 4-6 different cladding materials on buildings. I would say it peaked a number of years ago, but it's still going with some developers. It's possible this should be interpreted more like a site plan diagram.
This seems like a basic proposal for what was originally a publicly-owned municipal site that at one point was supposed to have all sorts of planning and consultation. In the end, they cut it up into 4 and one quarter of it is a park, which is nice, but it doesn't seem exceptional. It is taller because so much up-zoning has happened and the apartment market is very tight. It was a bit suspicious because there were some historic schools on the site but they burned down after years of neglect and of course were demolished in the end, leaving a blank slate for more towers.
