My guess is that it will have cement board siding, not vinyl.

It looks okay, and it will be great for the neighbourhood. It's unfortunate that the mainland south area is so stunted by poor infrastructure. It would probably be better for the city to divert suburban development there instead of somewhere 5-10 km farther out. I think a bridge going over the Arm would make a lot of sense (if Halifax were a normal city it would probably have one at South Street and one at Point Pleasant Drive), and it doesn't have to be unattractive. A bridge over the Fleming Park could even be an asset to people living on the Halifax side.
