I agree. At this point downtown Halifax should be focusing on residential just as downtown Toronto did over the past 20 years (for about 15 of those years downtown Toronto was stagnant as far as downtown office construction was concerned).
With its close proximity to museums, theatre, universities and restaurants, I think there will be a strong demand for downtown residential development.
