Thanks Rumors and Darkoshvilli, fantastic shit. That render is the best yet.

And what's amazing is that this is right on track, I remember back in '04 when simple 27 storey condos took forever to go up and were controversial due to their 'outrageous heights'!!

It's interesting how attitudes have changed in some cities during the past decade. Back around 2004 I think a lot of people were used to having their neighbourhoods remain more or less static because there had been so little construction since 1990 or so.

I've also noticed, in Halifax at least (and Vancouver's been like this for longer), the quality of new projects has gone up a lot and the public consultation processes have improved. Some of the terrible 1970s-era planning rules have also been eliminated; in a lot of cities pretty much the only things they'd talk about with new buildings were height maximums, density maximums, minimum setbacks, parking minimums, etc. It was all slanted to favour suburban-style development and there was very little emphasis on qualitative aspects of architecture and urban design. It's not surprising that cities with rules like that built a bunch of ugly boxes from about 1970-2000, and those terrible buildings are a big contributing factor to NIMBY sentiment today.

Is it me or is it a replica of L'Avenue's sales office?

someone123 · #**5760** Posted **Oct 3, 2012, 11:42 PM**

Here are some revised renderings of the Nova Centre in Halifax. Excavation has begun for this project. The final renderings will be out sometime in November.

The shorter tower on the right will be offices and the other tower will be hotel. There are tenants for the office tower but as far as I know they haven't been announced yet. The main component of the development is convention space, which is why they have the large room spanning two blocks. Originally that room was going to be underground, but the public reaction to that wasn't very favourable and I think this looks nicer. Argyle Street is quite busy and has lots of sidewalk cafes so they've responded to that with a bit of a setback and some outdoor space. I assume the giant screen will show different videos, not just a fixed shot of some deck chairs. It seems obnoxious to me.

As always, the pasted-in Photoshop people are great.
