I agree. And I believe King's Wharf Tower may give Purdy's Wharf's iconic status a run for its money.
It would be an interesting shift to have Halifax's most recognised building ... in Dartmouth!

The Twisted Sisters would have been very noticeable. I know there is a loud minority in Halifax that has concluded the Citadel be the last icon of this city, but
most people have been wanting new, modern, unique developments in the downtown for many decades.
The Twisted Sisters were approved.
Skye Halifax steps on too many toes, however; but hey, it may also reach approval -- if United Gulf ever gets around to producing renderings! Maybe the should ask Fenwick?
