It's been years since a tower crane was sighted in the downtown core in Charlottetown and I doubt there will be for the next 25 years. The block against development due to the Lot 500 zoning bylaws is crushing development and density in the downtown. I doubt we'll have any in the coming years ....(I edited the comment slightly to delete a comment on local politicians)

Why would you hate to see this in Moncton. I’m proposing expanding the zoning of the downtown district to allow for more height across more areas of downtown. Currently you can only build higher than 6 storeys south of Gordon and Queen. I’m proposing expanding that up to Saint George. Currently most areas north of St. George you can only build 11 meters. I’m proposing 20 or 30 meters depending on the specific area. The area around the new development would increase from 11 meters to 20 meters under my proposal. I don’t see how this is a bad thing.
