Not many Halifax-sized cities have landmark office complexes comparable to Purdy's. It has a distinctive 80's postmodern style and it's built out onto the water. Until recently with the development around Sackville Street, Purdy's was the focus of almost all skyline pictures.
I wonder how the Cogswell redevelopment is going to affect the complex. It could feel a lot more like a core part of downtown rather than an appendage that you only go to if you're walking along the waterfront or deliberately visiting the buildings.
Likewise the Morse's Teas (or I guess now blank-white-rectangle) area could be turned into something impressive.
