Retail at grade is great but has Halifax got the density right? I realize Halifax is a much smaller metro than Toronto but you still need enough of a residential population above to support the retail below. Are these condo buildings tall enough? Even 5-7 more floors might make the difference between viable retail at grade and commercial space at grade that sits empty. Not everything needs to be 30+ floors but 9 floors probably isn't enough.
