A condominium development out on St. Margaret's Bay Rd. I can't say I've heard too much about this one other than that it is currently pre-selling units.

Developer website here.

They got rid of the Shell Station there? When did that happen?

For my compilation thread i have assumed this has started. Has anybody been out there to confirm this?

Wow this is the first post for this in 7 MONTHS!

There was an ad in the community herald this week for Crown Bay. Judging by the small picture available it under construction and is on the frame.

And this development is SEVEN STOREYS tall not SIX

This has been under construction for quite a few months now and will probably near completion within the next few months.

I was by this over the weekend and they are now working on the exterior of the building I believe.

Once again I was by this building recently and they are working from the top down. I believe they were on the third floor when I was by.

You got that right, at least on the exterior finish. I droive by it the other day and it looks like they are trying to do a Spice kind of concept with sections in different colors, but are doing it on the cheap with regular vinyl siding. So you have a bunch of mostly pastel shades all mixed together in sections of vinyl faux-clapboard. Looks horrendous.

So I was by this again today and now they've added a crap load of glass to the bottom two floors.

I didn't get a good look but it seemed to look okay ...

Since there's been a lack of photos for this and the threads outdated I decided to take a detour on my way home yesterday and get this shot;

EDIT: btw Mod's the threads title should be "[Halifax] Crown Bay | ~15m | 7fl | U/C"

Jonovision · #13 Posted: **Jul 10, 2009, 6:09 PM**

It looks alright. That glass at the base is awesome!
It's stil vynel siding though is it not?

Dmajackson · #14 Posted: **Sep 19, 2009, 6:12 PM**

There's an ad in today's paper saying this is now habitable so maybe someone can change the thread name to;

"[HALIFAX] Crown Bay | ~15m | 7fl | Complete"

Somebody should post a few pics of this ugly building. If someone does that and the sign is still up, please post the name of the architect so we know who to avoid in the future.

Well, it may not be great, but atleast its in the suburbs and looks better than 5505 Falkland and Armoury Villa lol.

I really like this one because of its uniqueness and it appears to be built into the side of a hill. Are they completing the stone arches in front as in the renderings?
