They were done when work was still being done on the first two buildings.

Thank you for the information kph06. Hopefully we will see a crane at King's Wharf soon.

Nope. They've been there like that since at least March.

Wow this all looks very good. Halifax/Dartmouth is really cleanin up!

I just hope they haven't run out of money to finish it - or a market for what they are offering.

It looks like construction has resumed today. Lots of activity on site for the first time in months.

I was in this area yesterday afternoon and there was prep work going on then too. SO glad to see movement on this site again

The construction rumours we get here seem to be pretty reliable. There are lots of vague long-term estimates that slip but I can't remember any cases when construction was supposed to start within a couple of weeks and didn't. I guess that by this stage the developer has to have building permits in place and must sign agreements with contractors, etc.

The crane base has been installed.

I know a number of people who have reloacted from Halifax to the darkside, and love it (many of them work in Halifax); the market is developing. If they build it...

Looks like Arnoldin will do the formwork, I think this is the base for the crane up on Gary Martin right now. Photo by me:

Amazing picture. Something just doesn't seem right about building a tower on the water. But Purdy's Wharf towers are still standing so I guess it's alright.

Saw on twitter today that the crane is going up.

Greenguy · #**1237** Posted **Nov 2, 2013, 9:20 PM**

yup... the crane is up. There was a photo posted on FaceBook about 90 minutes ago by Fares's team. I tried to import a copy here but was unable. If I have time, I will walk by and take a personal pic tomorrow and post it.

A little less impressive one by me this afternoon:

mcmcclassic · #**1240** Posted **Nov 3, 2013, 5:49 PM**

I live within view of this site. Pics to come soon.

They're almost done assembling the crane.
