Yes, I think this was Glen Robertson VW. The see-saw roof overhang in front is very 1960s:

Also today I noticed the former building on the northeast corner of Wyse and Albro Lake Rd has been demolished. It had a mansard roof design and for some reason I think it may have been a real estate office at one point, though more recently it had fallen on hard times and was used as a drug treatment facility. It's gone now.

Ah, another 7-storey HRM box. This is definitely the new Highfield Park Special.

EDIT: Wait!!! This is a dizzying 8 floors!! Surely the world will spin off its axis once this is built. It's Too TALL!!!

Typo. I was gobsmacked and stunned when I realized the previously impenetrable 7-floor barrier had been broken.

Gobsmacked no doubt! Nine storeys (well, I never!) may trigger an epidemic of vertiginous pearl-clutching and fits of the vapors....

One can but wonder what effect a trio of 40-storey towers next to the Macdonald Bridge will have.
