It is exposed to winds from the NW and N.
If I walk one block up Victoria Road from where I live the change in temperature and wind chill is significant. Or, stand on Dartmouth Common at the ball diamond and you will notice a significant change from lower down at Park Avenue.
If you live in peninsula Halifax there is a significant temperature difference between the northern part than in the south end.

Halifax isn't a particularly windy city with other cities such as Calgary, Hamilton, Toronto, Moncton and others having, on average, more days of strong wind (52 kph or above) annually. But fog, that's a whole 'nother story. What's obvious is that the closer you are to the open ocean the more foggier and cooler it becomes. This is especially true in spring and early summer. This pic illustrates one of many days each year where it'd be perhaps 10 degrees warmer at OBV than it would be in south end Halifax.

“Foggy Village” probably wouldn’t be considered to be an attractive name for the project, however…

(And, it’s not a village)

With the prevailing westerlies blowing across the broad fetch of Bedford Basin, and fog banks which can suddenly blow up the harbor when the winds change, the Shannon Park area can be quite chilly, even mid-summer - and it's quite changeable.

Anyone who ever sat through their young kids' soccer games at the Shannon fields can attest to that!

Wait... are we reinventing Brigadoon?

I noticed that they were pouring concrete on Saturday. Not a deep excavation and no sign of a crane base yet.

I think this is a similar group to who is behind the new buildings at King’s Wharf. Quite a bit of forms and concrete were in on the newest building before any signs of a crane. I’d expect similar methodology here.

The crane base is now in place....

Looks like another WolfKrann base for Elite Formwork. They have taken a decent chunk of the local market.

There is a mobile crane on site today. One would assume that the tower crane is going up this week.

Up it goes...they're stacking the crane segments now.
