As I discussed a couple of days ago, a newly constructed apartment building immediately across from the Hydrostone Market gets my nomination for Halifax’s ugliest building.
I’m happy to say, however, that a proposal just up the street, at Kaye and and Isleville Streets, looks much more promising. I haven’t had time to read through the entire proposal, but it at least includes street level retail across from the Hydrostone, and that’s a very good thing. I’d be curious what readers think of the proposal; see the plans here, and city staff’s take on it here.
