Exciting! Does anybody have a plan to see the details

I am not too familiar with Merx, but how big of a project would it need to be to be posted on there?

I feel like it could be something minor like redevelopment of part of the mall itself, but I really hope for something bigger.

Last time I looked at Google Earth, I thought the highlighted area could be a good opportunity or even the triangle-shaped parking to the North.

Makes you realize what an awesome view Lafford properties will have.

CANDU Energy Inc is opening up an office at 15 Market Sq office tower to accommodate 15 to 20 staff. Hopefully this will be a precursor to the biggest construction project ever seen in Atlantic Canada. Don’t want to get too excited yet as it could be workers to extend life of current reactor.

Is there any photo updates to the new North End school?

I haven't seen any good drone images, but from driving by its much farther along. The structure is fully enclosed; siding is going up, windows are going in, etc.

Fencing has been erected around the perimeter of the Golden Ball building. Demolition imminent.

It’s quite prominent from the north, like mid fort howe and coming down Somerset

A tip though...make sure that when taking pictures like that that it's weather-safe to do so. That cloud looked like a thunderstorm cloud, which poses it's own risks in attempting to get good photos.
