A developer is proposing to build on four parcels of land in Downtown Dartmouth. Three are located on Pine Street Ext and one is on Ochterlonely. There are no specifics yet but a low-rise would be on the Octerlonely parcel, a highrise north of Pine St Ext and a midrise on the south-side of Pine St Ext. It mentions some limited retail included and a lot of work for the proposed Canal Greenway owned by HRM.
I'd read the document linked to below but here's the just of it I think. When the Dartmouth Downtown MPS was created in 2000 five oppurtunity sites were identified. Two have been developed since leaving three located at North & Alderney, Pine St Ext, and Prince & Alderney. The Pine St Ext site is the former bowling alley and is now owned by the developer. Another parcel of land now in the proposal was supposed to become a Sobey's but the plan fell through and it was never added to the oppurtunity site's list. As part of the proposal the two remaining parcels are going to be added to the list to ensure high quality construction.
The ammendment to add the lands to the oppurtunity site's list and include the parkland in the process (to make the developer pay for some upgrades) is going before council tomorrow night. Afterwards the standard Development Agreement process will proceed to develop the lands.
