Does anyone know the story on that breakwater or whatever it is in the foreground of that pic? It is obviously man-made and has been there for a long time from the looks of it, but I have never heard why or when it was built.
Just received the King's Wharf newsletter update, for those of you who don't get it:
"Spring time at King's Wharf! It is now time to move forward into the warmth of the sun and start making plans to move into The Keelson. Not far now, we have approximately 5-6 months before we reach the estimated completion date of our first occupiable building at King's Wharf! The Keelson exterior finish has been completed and pre dry wall trades are almost finished on most of the floors. Drywall has begun on the lower levels concealing the wiring, water and gas lines. Tiling will begin next week on the lower floors.
The Anchorage, our rental building, is due at the beginning of December, 2012. Window installation has begun and is estimated to take 2 months to complete. Please see below for contact information on leasing a unit in The Anchorage.
We continue to sell options in our Iconic Tower, the luxury condo building due for late 2015. We are up to Option #109 out of a possible 150 units. This gives us great confidence in the absorption of this building into the real estate market. Stay tuned for the plans and pricing for The Iconic Tower due later this year."

That is great news on the iconic tower, I am beyond excited to see that tower start and will be even beyond that to see a completion

I grew up in this part of Dartmouth and know that area quite well. This was originally a long wooden wharf which was used commercially in the 50's and 60's. I remember the sealing ships laid up there in the summer months in the late 60's. It was abandoned in the late 60's or early 70's and quickly deteriorated and was condemned. It was owned by the National Harbour Board and was fenced off to the public but it had a lot of locals fishing from it and kids like myself playing on it in the mid 70's. It was becoming more and more dangerous and in either the summer of 1978 or 79 the remaining deck was removed and they trucked in hundreds of loads of fill and buried what was left of the pilings.There was talk of a large marina between it and what is now the current small marina next to the ferry terminal parking lot but it never materialized. I remember on the south side there were one or two quite large sunken barges that you could see submerged at low tide. This may have been an issue if they did decide to go with a marina.

Thanks for the information. I was curious about this also.
This photo (from the herald community section) is from more than a week ago so I'm guessing that most of the windows are in now. I think it looks good, and will look even better with all the balcony glass.
I drove by here tonight to do a bit of an update, its been a while. The crane with a pile driver is on site, most likely to start work on the foundations of The Blue C and Aqua Vista. This is a link to an updated map which shows The Blue C as 13 floors, which seems to be new.
Just imagine how that is going to look with the 2 other buildings, the tower and the other buildings on the other side of the road in place. That is going to be a killer view, or even from the other bridge.. my photographer senses are tingling lol.
