I wish that I could agree with Jonovision and Planarchy for the sake of diplomacy. However, this looks like a great development with a marina, an island, a pond (which will become home to various wildlife species such as ducks, fish, etc), a ferry terminal and even a train terminal. Regarding the comment that it looks artificial; I think that this development stands out because it is not the typical low rise brick buildings that would blend in with other neighbouring buildings, but can't we have something a bit different?

On top of everything that I mentioned above, it is on the Bedford Basin with its marine wildlife. What more could anyone hope for? (other than the whole thing being parkland, but the HRM already has lots of parkland, it also needs residential land). I am sure that once this development is completed, there will be a lot more wildlife within a 1 mile radius than there will be within a 1 mile radius of the Toronto proposal.
