In the taller building category I think both United Gulf and International Place would bring about major improvements to the urban fabric and would generally give the downtown a more updated feel.

I also have high hopes for the Salter Street waterfront development, which I hope starts soon.
I rather see all the projects, regardless of height as it truly shows the economic development we are seeing in Halifax.

That being said, i've heard a rumour that the Salter Street is in jepordy and is questionable now.
