Potential sites for Halifax's first skyscraper

When I say 'skyscraper' I reference the definition via wikipedia. "A skyscraper is a continuously habitable high-rise building that has over 40 floors and is taller than approximately 150 m."

Once Fenwick tower is done being redeveloped and renamed 'the vuze' it'll stand 106 meters high with 35 floors.

The planned Maristella or tower 1 on king's wharf will stand 103 meters high with the latest proposal.

I feel the best possible sites to build our first, or multiple highrise towers of 150 meters high would be the parking lot occupying the block between Dresden Row and Birmingham Street.

Another great site would be the parking lot behind the new library along Queen street and Morris street.

If I had the means to make it happen, I'd construct something a hybrid between the shard tower in London, and the Lotte tower is Seoul. 150 meters, on the Dresden row site.

And a 150 meter high tower very similar to the Absolute world tower in Mississauga.

I want Halifax to be the Beast in the East of Canada
