Admiralty Place was finished in 1986. The developer bought into the hype of the great wealth we were going to have from offshore oil and gas exploration and development induced by the federal/provincial governments; it really kicked off in 1979/80. And then high interest rates and inflation effectively wiped out the developer. I can remember the large misleading ads in the Herald with a drawing of a ferry gliding by the new building. We bought our house in May 1983 and the interest rate was 13.75%, a rate you will never see again in your lifetime.
