The Gerrard Lodge proposal's been kicking around for a while too (maybe since 2007 or so?). One odd detail is that 1230 Barrington, which looks like it's part of the same building, had a separate owner and was renovated separately.
Harvey Street meanwhile is pretty weird. It has some nice homes but also a lot of 80's/90's junk. That period was not exactly a high point in Halifax's architectural history.

I'm particularly eager with that one because it looks so bad and has sat for so long. I don't know if other people notice it that much but I've always thought there's a huge difference between streets with bombed-out ruins and streets without bombed-out ruins, however small. There are a few other buildings on the street that are in rough shape but none of them are on the same level.
