Development Rumours

[someone123]

It would be really great if development of the waterfront started to proceed in a more timely manner. The current pace is clearly far below what the market will bear in terms of new residential construction.

If the Salter and Cunard blocks proceed there will be a pretty good stretch of newer development from Salter Street to the seawall. Waterfront development would also tie in with some of the newer buildings up along Salter Street on the way to Barrington, and the Alexander if that is built.

There's a big advantage to having coherent neighbourhoods that are pleasant to walk around in and have lots of shops and services within a small area. Right now the waterfront doesn't have that because it has too many parking lots. It's also poorly connected to the downtown. There aren't many inviting paths going west when you're walking along the waterfront.
