The Cunard block plan includes an upper floor surrounded by glass curtain walls. I wonder what that space will be used for? It will have panoramic views of the downtown area, harbour, and open Atlantic. And apparently a rooftop pool.

Dartmouth has a mini skyline too. It might have the tallest buildings in the city in a few years. The latest King's Wharf plans had towers going up to something like 42 floors.
