I wonder what that crane is doing out on the end of the land? Maybe it is doing some early work for the iconic tower?!

Just for grins, I went back through this thread to compare with the 1st two buildings. The piles started going in around June 11th, 2010 with the first forms showing up about the end of July and the crane erected around August 20th of 2010. Extrapolating from that, we should see a crane back up there by mid-September +/-???

Nice detective/forensic work. I'm curious to see how accurate your research will prove to be.

The tower doesn't have a DA yet. Phase one of King's Wharf is what is approved right now, four buildings. Right now they are working starting buildings C and D, same size/mass as the current ones, A & B. C is residential and will be very similar to B (not a mirror image as was the original plan) and D is residential with some possible commercial the first couple floors. D was originally going to be a business tower and in April Fares asked to change it to residential.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Fares requested that D be allowed to become a residential tower because the office market was too soft - this has implications for the strength of the market throughout the core.

Now that Emera is built, RBC Waterside is going and the WTCC2 is about to get underway, and in light of that statement from Fares, I think we won't likely see a lot of new commercial getting started for a while. Market needs to shake out first.

Any one have any clue when the 18 story will be going up this year?

In the concept plan there is another row of condos to the west of the ones currently under construction, and the tallest of those has 18 floors.

I thought the plan was to build the first four at the eastern end of the site and then work on the "iconic tower" in 2013. I don't recall any details about the timing of future phases.

Thanks for the info. That's great, 18 stories is perfect as a step down.

it would be nice to have an aerial shot, given the amount of infill

There are quite a few good aerials here, including one shot that has Dartmouth in the foreground: http://www.visionairimages.com/Other...wmbt#!p=5&n=20

I don't know if it's the best idea to upload someone else's content to your Flickr account.

Trying to get this posted, I acknowledged their site, hope it is OK! Thank you for your concern, should I remove it then?

It's fine that you posted the image here and linked back to the King's Wharf site, but having their image hosted on your Flickr account may be claiming a copyright that you don't have... I'm not sure.

"King's Wharf by teddifax57" is probably a bad idea. You're essentially claiming ownership of someone else's work.

EDIT: And, as we've seen before, people involved with these projects watch this forum.

On the odd occassion where I have to host a photo its usually for editing purposes (ie to show current progress). The best way to do it for that is "Progress of West Bedford edited by Dmajackson on photo/map from [website]". The other case is printscreening out of PDF's. For that make sure to note its is a screen capture and state the source.

As for "involved" people just off the top of my head I can think of Councillors Outhit, Sloane and Watts (though Keith's rantings may of scared her off

), many HRM Planning staff, developers from Citadel Hotel, Pete Polley, and I think King's Wharf.

Heck just last month I was emailed by a local construction firm to get permission to use my photos of King's Wharf. As for the compilation thread I have seen that posted many times on other sites.

BTW I will point this out to anyone who reads this. The compilation list and any photos I have taken and posted on this website are my property, however, I am very open to allowing their use for other's profit with permission. If you seek to use one of my items just email me (dmajackson@hotmail.com) or PM on the forum.

Went past it today. Noticed a big "Now Renting" banner has appeared on the side of the apartment building. Could possibly have been there a while and I'm just now noticing it, but it felt new.

resetcbu1 · #**1100** Posted: **Jul 30, 2012, 4:05 AM**
