I often contemplated that. Peninsula Halifax may end up looking looking like the peninsula downtown Vancouver sits on. It would obviously require decades to realize, but growth on the peninsula has no where to go but up.

Right now, I'm happy that the traditional downtown is intensifying but it's inevitable that Halifax will start seeing tall buildings in Dartmouth and/or the North end. Who wouldn't want views of the Bedford Basin and/or Dartmouth from a 40 floor condo?
