I agree Keith, there are far better locations in downtown Halifax then this for an art gallery.
Also, I don't think a high rise should ever be built at that location, you would have one building with great water views but you would be taking away said views from dozens of other buildings in the downtown. It just doesn't make sense to me. Having visited many of the great waterfront cities in North America/Europe that just isn't done because it doesn't make sense.
Then again, I haven't heard anything come up on this since the original news item so maybe they've reconsidered.
