This, Dutch Village, and the 2nd Waterton tower really will add a nice flow going southward.

Halifax is somewhat unusual for a small city in that most new construction is multi-unit. It's also getting far more urban infill than most other small cities, and that trend is probably going to accelerate. In 10 years I think Halifax will be a much better city than it is now.
It really is time to look at better transit though. Council just put a bunch of developments along the Bedford Highway on hold. If they do not invest in proper infrastructure like rail or at least solid BRT service (with dedicated lanes along corridors like Bayers Road) then the older parts of the city won't be able to handle as much growth and there will be more sprawl in outer suburban areas. We also won't maximize the potential of neighbourhoods like the North End unless they have better transit service.
