Headed to council in an in camera session in June. Sounds like there was a lot of interest. Not sure when they would actually confirm a winning bid or release more information.
My guess is that we'll get the max 8 storeys of condos with the NSLC and maybe some other retail spaces. I'm also predicting that this will play out smoothly since there is a requirement that the winning bid adhere to HRMbyDesign. There shouldn't be a need for any amendments before development takes place.
This building plus the library and IDEA building will go a very long way in reducing the "sea of parking lots" effect.
Like I've said before, we could conceivably have 5 projects under construction in a very small area: City Centre Atlantic apartments, new TD building, library, IDEA building, and the Mary-Ann site.
