I like the design a lot more than the preliminary design that was released a few months ago, although the second building looks very vague and it's not clear exactly how the exterior cladding will look.

The best part of the development of these sites is the continuity that will be established between Spring Garden Road, Schmidtville, and to some extent the hospitals/Dal area. It makes such a difference to have good pedestrian corridors with quality buildings and shops.

I think the Nova Centre, library, and whatever might happen with the St. Mary's property will have a similar effect in terms of tying together the downtown and Spring Garden areas.

The balconies are interesting. I like how Halifax's tradition of liberal building colours is working its way into modern building designs.
