Not to my surprise its now August and the website is still under construction claiming it will be up and running in July.

I drove by earlier today and there was a good mining size dump truck on site heading somewhere. I hope that means that they have started infilling of the area to prepare for construction of some kind. Even a 1 storey at this point would be welcomed.

I was also by there earlier and there did appear to be one or two machines parked in the lot.

One thing to note though is trucks have been dumping their loads there for years so it might not be anything, or it could be the start of construction.

Could be. This is the first time I saw trucks of this size though. Lets hope.

I had a look last night and the amount of cleared land has increased dramatically and is stretching quite far down to Wright Ave now.

Jstaleness · #87 Posted **Sep 20, 2009, 1:48 AM**

Yeah, there was lots of dump trucks and excavators onsite this afternoon when I drove by.

Dmajackson · #88 Posted **Sep 20, 2009, 7:46 PM**

I think the lot they are flattening right now is for a grocery store or small strip mall.

It looked to me like the whole place was being prepped they have been moving around the whole proposed place... Looks promising.

jasonashhh · #90 Posted **Oct 19, 2009, 9:55 PM**

This is moving at quite a fast pace they have it leveled out and they work on it on weekends too rain or shine lets keep this moving.

Wishblade · #91 Posted **Oct 19, 2009, 9:58 PM**

Jeez, who knows, maybe someday in the future the Dartmouth waterfront will actually look more impressive than the Halifax waterfront with these mega projects.

Good to hear this one is going full tilt.

DigitalNinja · #92 Posted **Oct 19, 2009, 10:48 PM**

Yay! Looks good for the development as a whole.

Jstaleness · #93 Posted **Dec 23, 2009, 12:37 AM**

I tried going to the website tonight. Currently Offline. I assume thats a good thing and it is being reworked to include the latest updates and renderings. Exciting!

FuzzyWuz · #94 Posted **Dec 23, 2009, 3:59 PM**

The website is currently offline and you assume that's a good thing? Bless you. You are so positive.

DigitalNinja · #95 Posted **Dec 23, 2009, 4:12 PM**

They have been doing a lot of infilling, so it is a good sign.

Phalanx · #96 Posted **Dec 23, 2009, 5:18 PM**

There's never a need to take a website down for editing/rebuilding. The only time it should go down is if there's an emergency, technical difficulties, or it's dead...

Even if it's being moved anyone who knows anything about web development will just have the old address redirect to the new one.

someone123 · #97 Posted **Dec 23, 2009, 6:45 PM**

Based on these sites I'm not sure we should be assuming that developers in the city contract out their web work to people who know what they are doing..

Just to bring this thread into 2010. There hasn't been much change since the previous post. I'm still hoping that maybe sales were slow and possibly causing delays. IMO though with Kings Wharf already starting construction, I do not believe that Dartmouth is able to support 2 new developments of this caliper this soon.

To be perfectly honest I'm kind of glad this isn't going along. As you mentioned Dartmouth's too small for two large projects and if I had to choose where they were going to be built an industrial park would not be at the top of my list.

I don't even know why they would think they could sell high-class condos on the lot. Sure it has a waterfront but its right off of the busiest street in HRM, its surrounded by industrial/commercial uses, there's no schools, parks or grocery stores nearby, and the views are horrible for a waterfront location (red ship, marina, and the gypsum mine).
