There is the project in the old WTCC space but I believe it's in the same size, and presumably acoustic, ballpark as existing venues.

There was some talk of a performance venue in the WTCC initially, but it sounds like it didn't pan out.
It has perplexed me a little that Halifax hasn't had an additional performance venue somewhere between the size of the Scotiabank Centre (in which the acoustics are really not good) and the Cohn. I thought that the new arts centre proposed for the waterfront was supposed to have a theatre suitable for the symphony to play in, but don't recall if the recent proposals included such a space (haven't read about it in a while).
