This is a few weeks old, and was originally about the snow piled up on this person's car, but I thought the view down Gottingen was interesting. Looks like that's the Pearl with the Nova Centre towers in behind:
I believe the tower in front is office and the one in behind is hotel.
It's starting to look really good. Before the cladding went up it looked very heavy because of the concrete and shadows but with the glass and lights in the interior it will look much brighter. I like the pattern too.
Developer Joe Ramia wants to change the exterior design elements of his downtown Nova Centre complex, including the elevation above Market Street and the materials to be used at the Centre’s base and tower.
No further details provided. I guess this has to do with the bunker-looking section of the podium?
I think this is possibly the coolest side-efftect of a construction project ever. lol My brother texted me a couple weeks ago (he works at the Central Library) when he was on the way to work with something alone the lines of "you can hear the convention centre screaming all the way from the ferry terminal today" .. I was very confused.. but I'm so thankful someone got a video of that, the entire building is a wind instrument.. that's incredible!
Joe Ramia, whose company Rank Inc. is the developer behind the $500-million Nova Centre project in downtown Halifax, has indicated he wants to make changes to the outside facing Market Street, the materials used at the base, and the tower on the corner of Sackville and Market streets.

Elliott said municipal staff doing their “due diligence” on the project noted in August that construction was moving in a direction that was different than what was originally proposed. Ramia was then ordered to stop work on those areas until the proper approvals were in place.
Quote:
Major projects planner Richard Harvey said in his report to the design review committee that they should expect a new “substantive” site plan to address proposed changes “in the near future” and then to take that to a public notification process. A staff report will then come back to the committee before a final decision is made on the proposed changes.

It's cool for about 30 seconds. I honestly don't know how workers in the surrounding businesses (or even the construction workers on site!) are putting up with it.
