Not sure whether to file this under construction or photos but I saw a nice aerial view of an interesting development site in Halifax. One of the many parts of town that has potential but is compromised one way or another due to weird planning decisions and a lack of coordination:

This is for the yellow wooden building fronting onto the park. It's not a big project but it's one of the more interesting ones to me:

They demolished the rear portion of the building and are moving it out to the corner. Not sure how they will accomplish the move. Hopefully nothing goes wrong:

Another house collapsed when the developer was trying to move it to make room for a highrise:

That Carlton/Robie area is another part of the city with Victorian "painted ladies". There are a lot of nice ones around Dalhousie but there's a strong divide between expensive, well-maintained mostly privately-owned properties and largely dreary vinyl-clad student rentals. You could make a large thread out of historic vinyl-clad buildings in Halifax going back to the 1700's.
An old "filler" building demolished in the 90's (and link to post about the southern end of Barrington with photos from the 70's). Not Grand Central but this was repeated over and over around that area:

I believe a portion of the allied naval command for the North Atlantic was run out of that building during WW2. The Henry House next door is still there and is an architectural gem.
What used to be on the site with the midrise building with salmon-coloured simulated brick panels next to the yellow apartment building?
