This one on the corner of Kaye and Gottingen is slowly getting a welcomed facelift. Glad to see that faux Arts and Crafts pattern go.

I drive by this thing every day and keep waiting for the start of whatever is supposed to go over that exterior.

Is this really the final product??

The parts facing the gatehouse appear to have been painted gray. Perhaps they are waiting for milder weather to paint the bare panels on the street side?

Regardless, it will be a very spartan-looking structure, especially compared to what was there before.

It is Spartan looking but then again part of the buildings purpose is to train Spartans. The building will house a three deck Mockup of a commercial ship
to train Naval boarding Party's in how to assault a suspected vessel.

The other half of the building will train Sailors on the RAS procedures. RAS stands for Replenishment At Sea. Better to practice on dry land than spill at Sea.

Thanks for that, very interesting

Not sure if this has been posted yet but here's the HRM page for 2165 Gottingen: https://www.halifax.ca/business/plan...street-halifax

I thought it would be a 3 storey building like the others built recently along that stretch but it'll be 5-6. Looks like it's the same builder that did Compass Distillers.

Looks like a nice fill-in project!

Empty lot at 2165 Gottingen

It would be nice if they could grow some ivy on it or something. That looks pretty bad!

The new building going up in Dartmouth on Prince street is only taking up half of the empty street frontage. This still leaves an entire lot that runs through to Alderney Dr. Hopefully that produces a nice building than this one.

The grand re-opening of the Alderney Pedway was yesterday. They also announced phase 2 where they will be redoing the main entrance area in front of the Library.
