This one has another iteration as of September. They have now purchased the lot behind the funeral home and are going for a shorter but longer building.

The 2 properties, 307 Prince Albert and 5 Glenwood were purchased December 15 2010.
The price was $0

Wow. That's really not visually pleasing...

It looks like every other sawed-off proposal we have seen in the last couple of years. HRM has graduated from cheap precast like on the Vincent Coleman on Bayers to this sort of thing - not much progress. WTH can't architects do something a bit more creative?

Metalsales · #**265** Posted **Nov 17, 2016, 3:18 PM**

They can, but it is the developer who has final say. An architect can propose the best of the best with great building materials, but if it costs any more than the previous building that the developer built, it is a no-go.

I suggest they name this one the McCrusty.

Yuk! Yet another development with a multitude of non-matching cladding apparently picked up from the leftover bins at Happy Harry's...

This one is back in the news, and so are the NIMBYs...

Yep. A 9 Storey "high-rise" is terrifying the Neighbourhood again.

Colin May · #**270** Posted **Dec 6, 2017, 7:13 PM**

Think of the canoe course !
Save the canoe course !
OMG, the wind from this building threatens the canoe course !
Don't mention the buildings on the opposite side of the lake - the 10 storey condo is 390 feet from the course; and the 7 storey building that is 370 feet from the course; and the 7 storey building that is 420 feet from the course.
The proposed building is 920 feet from the course.
Obviously this proposed building will inflict great harm on the world class canoe course.
Cough,cough.

I had something in my mailbox about this, about 10,000 words on a double sided piece of paper, somebody has too much time on their hands. I see no problem with this proposal.

Same person who handed out a similar screed at the PIM for the previous proposal. Gloria convinced he HEMDCC colleagues to not have first reading.
I'll be there on Thursday to see what happens. Don't know if Hendsbee and Karsten will give Sam the same deal as they gave Gloria.
The shadows are really not an issue.

Sam (as a private citizen posting here a few years ago) expressed dismay at how Gloria torpedoed the last proposal for this site, so there is hope for this.

Meeting is Thursday night at 6PM down in Alderney Gate. I might even go.

If the canoe people come out against the proposal the decision will be interesting. I think he believes almost all proposals should go to a public hearing and he does not have grandchildren that paddle !

The thread title for this one should be changed to- "307 Prince Albert Road | ~27 m | 9 fl and shrinking | Proposed"

The most current renderings for the project

There is a facebook page for called the banook area residents association, which is the group against this proposal. You should see the information or should i say mis-information being posted here. Any individual who questions the facts stated on the page or actually likes the proposal is pretty much being bullied by the site admin.
https://www.facebook.com/Banook-Area...6487266402113/

they also give very good artistic renderings of the proposals.

The must have picked up the Blob from the old STV Coalition who tried to make renderings of Nova Centre appear to be Godzilla.

Whomever is posting in that forum on behalf of the BARA needs to take a chill pill. Criminy!

I have been posting on the site this am. I'm not being mean. I'm being realistic. Some of these folks sound like they'd fight a one storey building.
