I remain a bit skeptical too. However:
- 7177 Quinpool is listed by a development company that worked on the Nova Centre while the Halifax Tower Hotel was Cosmos and they only list small to medium residential buildings.
- This is an obviously desirable location for a residential highrise whereas the Bayers Lake hotel was farther outside of the norm.
- If I recall correctly the approved building allows for unusually small floor plates, so I wonder if this kind of construction would be economical if it were cut significantly below 32 floors.
