Another project with no setbacks from the street/sidewalk ROW. I don't understand why HRM permits that.

It's difficult to say for certain at this point, but it does appear to me that the sidewalk/setback will be at least equal to what was there prior to this developmet. There may be some gain to pedestrians in terms of shelter from overhang of the new buildings. An example of a setback that is iMO too big is the Italian Centre on Agricola which makes the streetscape look like it has a missing tooth. What do you think would be an appropriate setback for this Almon St. location and what would be the purpose of the setback?

In addition to the rescue, the taller crane was heightened by four sections. It has quite the perch over the city and will likely need a couple more jumps before the end.

EDIT: oh yikes, that picture I took from their website is sized all weird, but it shows that corner being pretty accurate to the render.

You are correct.

You're an odd study, Keith. In one thread, crying how the city shouldn't be able to infringe on the rights of the property owner, and in another saying how the city must crack down on building setbacks.

An utterly nonsensical comparison.

Really like the scale and scope of this. Does what it's supposed to and does it well, IMO.

Well, it's supposed to be 12 storeys and I think I count 12 in the photo, so...yeah.

This is one project on which the developer is not fooling around.

I count them pouring floor 15 now as well, so I guess they're at the half way point on the main tower. Looking nice so far, going to be one hell of a view.

Yeah whoever their project manager is deserves every dollar they're paying them. I have never seen a project in Halifax move as smoothly as this one.
