The North End skyline is the most dramatic change. Is it plausible that the tallest buildings in Halifax will one day be there and not downtown? I know downtown has severe height restrictions due to views from Citadel Hill but surely restrictions are less severe in the North End? A similar phenomenon is occurring in Vancouver and Ottawa where the tallest buildings are gravitating to areas outside the traditional CBD. Perhaps over the long term downtown Halifax should remain 10-30 floors and build its tall buildings in the North End. Wouldn't be a bad thing imo.
