Halifax was a boomtown during parts of the 20th century. There was lots of construction from the 1930's all the way up to around 1990 when the real estate market crashed. I think, in retrospect, we will see 1990-2000 as an aberration.
I also find people downplay how much construction happened around 2000-2010. There were not a lot of big office towers but a number of residential highrises were built in and around the downtown area, and lots of smaller buildings went up.
