Great to see the height phobia waning finally. Being able to build a significant project outside of DT Halifax has opened up many possibilities. As much as I want to see height and density I think a version of Queens Marque would have been a great option to tie into the sandstone Post Office.
DT Dartmouth has a very small town feel due to its poor layout and ad hoc building use. I think it may need a gradual transformation. In the short term I would like to see new height in the Canal – King’s Wharf district as well as the district that holds tremendous potential, (Wyse Rd. from the bridge to Albro Lake Rd.).
The good news is that the tower doesn’t look anything like Queen’s Sq. , Belmont House or the Maranova Hotel.
