Dexel Developments Ltd. is poised to start building a five-storey addition on top of City Centre Atlantic.
All the company needs is a name for the $18-million project that will house 96 apartments above Spring Garden Road in Halifax.
"We want the neighbourhood and the neighbouring businesses to help in the process," said Louie Lawen, Dexel’s president.
"City Centre Atlantic is a little bit too institutional."
He’s hoping someone will come up with a historical tidbit about the area that might lend itself to a moniker.
"I usually have an idea and I just completely blanked," Lawen said. "It has to do with the fact that the (existing) building is only 20 years old."
Pre-construction work, including moving in equipment and putting up boarding, will start within the month. Construction itself is slated to begin within three months, Lawen said.
