Halifax developments

We haven't even seen the full plans or renderings yet for Station Park... I like to get all the facts before I make a decision...

I wasn't sure if I should justify this with a response, but you got me. Sure you may not like the style, completely acceptable. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what not. But come on this is nothing like northdale renders/ buildings. Ground floor retail, 2 stories podium, unique patterned panelling to break up the blank walls, cleam lines, use of 3 building materials that go extremely well together. Obviously all in my opinion, but to compare it to northdale.

I'm no architect, but these renderings look nice to me.

Don't get me wrong I don't hate every development happening in in the region. In my opinion they are just not as refined as projects happening in other parts of the county.  Obviously i don not expect to see Vancouver level of unique building being proposed. I also admit that Vancouver definitely has a vast amount of stinkers in terms of design (the city went through an awful sea foam spandrel panel phase).  All of the building listed above I am looking forward to seeing the final product. Although Station park is neither extraordinary nor completely offensive, in my mind it is just a large infill project. Which is disappointing because it was suppose to be a standout project in the region.

That's why I said "maybe" for Station Park -- I have heard some good things about it, but it's very much not clear to me at the moment what the final design will be.
