I'm sure quite a few had hoped for that...I think developers should start super tall and then work down - that way we'd at least get average height lol.

Construction is now on the 3rd or 4th floor, which is pretty good considering work was going at a snails pace in the summer and fall.

Bomb search delayed construction start
February 1, 2012 - 7:58pm BY REMO ZACCAGNA BUSINESS REPORTER

The discovery of several unexploded bombs pushed back the start of construction of a project near Burnside Park in Dartmouth last year.

Work on the Riviera, a six-storey, 70-unit luxury apartment building located between Windmill Road, Basinview Drive and Wrights Cove, was originally slated to start in the spring but was pushed back to July.

That is because the military stepped in to search the property for unexploded ammunitions, as required by Halifax Regional Municipality for new developments in the Wrights Cove area.

“That’s the reason we started in July, because in April and May, and part of June, the military was exploring the area,” said architect and developer K.J. Gandhi. “They kind of combed through minutely with their advanced technology for any unexploded ordnances and, as a matter of fact, they found four (of them) on the site.”

...

Construction of the building has been on schedule since the start, and occupancy is expected for September. Work on finishing the concrete structure is in its final stages.

I'm sure the military also found plenty of used needles and adult materials from the motel users next door.

Just figured I'd stick this here- This site was featured on an episode of History Channel's "Bomb Hunters" it's about a couple Canadian teams that go around the country on contract searching and disposing of unexploded ordinance.. kinda neat to see something so close to home on a show like this. lol

This building is now COMPLETED. Apartments are being leased for occupancy this month.

Great pictures, bad building.

You have to admit though, those corner balconies are pretty nice.

They are somewhat interesting, but its only lipstick on a pig.

Lawd. Those overhead power lines need to go.

great pictures, but that building seems to have no redeeming qualities other that that it filled an empty, ugly spot.
