I find it interesting how Queen's facade along Lower Water St is set back slightly...about 6 inches on each successive floor. Queen's Marque 2018-9-14 by DwN~toWN Halifax, on Flickr

The Armour Group, developer of the Queen’s Marque complex on the Halifax waterfront, has invested in a district energy plant to enable a projected operation that is 50 per cent more efficient than buildings designed in the 1990s.
Removing reliance on conventional heating methods and fossil fuels should result in savings of about four-million kilowatt hours per year, according to the company.
The Queen’s Marque will have passive heating and cooling using sea water and active chilled beam technology.
As illustrated by this webcam, there is now quite a bit of cladding on the northern most section of this development. The glazing looks of pretty high quality. :-)
