Exciting! Nice design...but does anyone know if it fits in with the MPS? I thought there were now strict height limits of 80 feet or something for new developments south of the Citadel. Not sure about this though, and clearly it fits in with the surrounding development.

Also this is close to the Pacey's neighbourhood, and part of the HRM-by-design's Spring Gdn and Queen St zone, so expect a tough fight.

Opponents of development have been trying to use the HRM-by-design exercise as a stalling technique. The "lets not build anything until the design committee finalizes their plans" approach, knowing full well that they won't agree with plans that permit mid/hi-rise development anywhere anyways. Epstein tried that argument against the UG towers when he suggested the city must now buy back the land from the developer.
