Seeing an 'uptown' Quinpool would be a dream come true, but I seriously doubt any larger development will proceed due to Quinpool's horrible infrastructure. Driving on that road,
and the on-street parking, is a nightmare. The unlikelihood is compounded further by Quinpool's location of being SQUISHED between two large low-density residential areas--containing people who don't want to see anything change.
Without some municipal attention to things such as parking and especially traffic flow (i.e.: protecting residential areas from what would be Quinpool's increased traffic; making these residential side-streets 'entry only' onto Quinpool), high-rise projects are not an option.
If, however, attention was given to Quinpool, then the sky's the limit for what we could develop. Haha, who knows...perhaps one day some developers will be offering luxurious Quinpool apartment units and condos that are so high up they are able to offer amazing views of the historical downtown.
