However, looking at the Bing Maps Bird's Eye view there is already a highrise between the Garden Crest Apartment at 1544 Summer Street and the new 20 storey proposal. I took a screen capture which illustrates this below. It is also noteworthy that only the facade of the Garden Crest Apartment building is original ( http://www.halifaxhistory.ca/GardenCrest.htm).
This looks like a very desirable location. So I think that if it gets approved there is a good chance of it being built in the near future. |
The Medical Arts building just up Spring Garden Rd from Summer Gardens. This site has lots of potential. It is a fair sized lot and this building is small in comparison to what has been built lately. I wonder if anything is planned for this site. This is across from Spring Garden Terrace which fronts the new tower proposed behind it.
