The chain link perimeter fencing has come down, and the perimeter is now very large rocks. Interesting

Hmmm... curious that it seems like they are starting prep work. Is this one approved, or does it not need a DA? Wish we had seen drawings of this!

Sounds like they do not need a DA but do not yet have a building permit.

For anyone curious on dates and specifications for approved projects in Downtown Halifax and Dartmouth HRM staff wrote up this report detailing the 13 major projects.

Solid information... gives us on the board a bit more clarity.

I think there is ample time for most projects... who knows about UG though.

According to that the expiry date for commencing construction for UG was March 21, 2010.

The UG deadline still seems a little weird to me in that it was apparently set before the final decision of the URB. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Just noticed a small project for sale on May Street. 4 townhouse units, 3 floors.

When I was driving through Dartmouth yesterday I spotted an excavator on a cleared site on Prince Albert Drive up near the superstore at the Parclo. A few years back a DA was approved for a lot in the area but I'm not sure of the location of the DA or the site I passed by.

I'm heading to NS in less than a week. This will be my first time back in about three years. I'm going to try to get Hali in as most of my time will be in New Glasgow. My dad says that a lot has changed. I'm quite anxious to see all these changes. I am also trigger happy with my camera so I'll be capturing the moment quite often. Speaking of pictures, does anyone know how to post pics?

You need to upload the images to an image hosting service such as imageshack, photobucket, flickr, etc. and then provide the link on skyscraperpage (use "[IMG]image_link[/IMG]" to display the picture) - http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#imgcode

Are you referring to the site in behind superstore? I have heard there is a largish condo approved for the site. Something in the range of 60-80 units I believe.

It was at or near the corner with Glenwood Ave (?) up near the superstore area so I don't think it was behind the store. More like a block or two down from it.

Oh! I forgot about that. I saw it too. It's the old ultramar site at the bottom of Celtic. I think they are just doing work on the pipes that are under the site. Either from the water that goes under or maybe taking out some of the old gas station infrastructure.

I was wondering what the large building is going up when you come onto Bayers Rd. Just after it merges to the 102. I looked up the area on google maps, and found that it's beside Romans Ave. Or somewhere around there (the old Halifax Alta Gymnastics Club or something like that.) It's a large building and I can't find anything about it. I was just wondering what it is for such a large building.

^ Thanks alot. I just looked at the thread and I realized I have seen that thread before. Guess I never put two and two together.
