It seems there must be more than that many 10 storey buildings under construction around metro Halifax? Lots of suburban apartments are 10-12.

For a while now, whenever I've heard anyone decry Halifax's small skyline, or lack of tall buildings, I've wondered if they're just not paying attention--for a city of half a million people it's actually thick with highrises, and clearly growing moreso.

I thought the peninsula looked pretty built up in this photo:

There aren't that many Canadian cities with a more substantial urban core than that, and that is missing Dartmouth. Some million plus US metros look less built up too, with fewer highrises and more parking lots.
It's been noted before on here that some people don't know that much about cities and compare Halifax to major metro areas. Maybe that's where some of that sentiment comes from. It's much smaller than Toronto or NYC, yes, but lots of construction and infill happens there.
