I found this on the architects website behind the Seaport Overall Project.

Halifax Seaport Redevelopment
Halifax, Nova Scotia

Working in collaboration with the Halifax Port Authority and acclaimed architects The Zeidler Partnership of Toronto and Lydon Lynch Architects of Halifax, Arcturus' team prepared and executed a comprehensive Master Plan for the Halifax Seaport. The project's Plan includes over 50,000 square metres of under-used, industrial property and presents a detailed approach for its remediation and adaptive reuse. Over 50% of the existing buildings are now redeveloped including a Film and Media Centre; an events facility - The Cunard Centre; two new cruise pavilions; and the opening of a new campus for NSCAD University in the fall of 2007. The Halifax Farmers' Market is scheduled to relocate in 2008 to an innovative, environmentally-friendly location in Pier 20. A boutique hotel and additional accommodations for the cultural industries are also planned. All contribute to make the Seaport unique to Halifax and a dynamic new destination for local residents and visitors alike. Arcturus' Development and Advisory group believes that by developing strong roots in the local community ultimately enhances the long-term sustainability of its projects. The Halifax Seaport Redevelopment Master Plan was recognized in 2006 with a prestigious Brownie Award for Best Large Scale Redevelopment in Canada for its excellence, leadership, innovation and environmental sustainability.
