someone123 · #1 Posted **Oct 21, 2007, 6:27 PM**

This project is being built along Gladstone Street. It consists of two twelve storey towers, a midrise building, and a row of houses.

The next phase includes a mixed commercial/residential building and townhouses.

The crane is being taken down today.

Here's a pic I just took from my window.

You can also see the new paint job on Queens Square in Dartmouth.

Queen's Square looks a lot better with the new paint job.

Gladstone Ridge is going to add a lot of housing units to that block when completed. I think it's something like 350-400 units in total, and it has progressed fairly quickly.

It would be nice to see similar developments around the Young/Robie area.

I think its kind of good to see the final crane coming down. It's a tell tale sign that the development is coming closer to being completed

Do you think that more proposals will be popping up after these major projects are complete (Armoury Square, Gladstone Ridge, South Street, etc)???

I would sure hope so. One would also hope that once HRM by Design is completed and clear, defined guidelines are provided developers will be more willing to invest in the city.

Most definitely. I wasn't totally sure if I liked the green stripes, but it's grown on me. Really nice looking.

I'll miss that crane..early monday morning, I was getting off work, and my dad and I drove over to see it. I know it sounds wierd, but that crane looked beautiful right then..When I worked at gladstone ridge doing security, I took lots of pics. I'll have to upload and post some.

Danny Chedrawe, who built Gladstone, is pretty bullish on residential on the peninsula. He's been talking about more projects in the area.

I've met Danny Chadrawe. Nice guy, and if Gladstone ridge is any indication of his preferred building taste, I say bring them on! That is a beautiful project.
I just hope I can afford to live there one of these days

The first of the 12flr towers has been completed for sometime now and people are moved in.

Not sure about the second one.

Some new photos taken today.

First, the senior citizen's building that is the third large building in the development:

Next, the north condo tower, close to being finished:

The south condo tower seems to be largely occupied:

Here's the sign offering them for sale:

Finally, a rear courtyard shot of some of the town houses:

The rear of these is rather small (mostly driveway) and don't seem to have much privacy, but all in all this turned into a pretty good development.

I don't believe the seniors building has anything to do with Gladstone. Separate development... and typical Halifax Fugly. Gladstone on other hand is great. I think the condo towers are very nice.

Spitfire75 · #15 Posted **May 3, 2008, 9:45 PM**

Definitely one of my favorite recent developments. We need more of these.

I'm not sure about the green metal on the roof though, what's it for? Would look better without it I think.
And the townhouses aren't too inspiring either.

But other than that...very nice looking.

hfx_chris · #16 Posted **May 3, 2008, 10:47 PM**

Any shots of the fronts of those townhouses?

The senior's building is a Berkley. They have locations in the South-end and Beford waterfront.
