I feel like Windslow may have been clever?

Windsor Street & Willow Street.

Maybe not...

I think you are correct. This seems like the likely genesis of the name.

Or it could be painted to match the rest of the building, ie. dark glass and light coloured structure. A sort of mural of itself if you will. At that height folks might just think it's actual floors/apartment space.


I'd swear that I put this in the Richmond Yards thread...it's early. More coffee faster.

I like what the renders are showing, and I agree that It looks better than their other projects. Will see how it pans out...

Yet another 7-floor HRM box.

Someone pointed out the cladding on this project on another thread. I figured I might as well post a photo of it.

The fencing is down and landscaping is mostly done. Looks like there's still work happening. I was driving past so couldn't tell if occupancy was underway.

Update as of last week: The fencing is down but the building isn't truly complete. The west and north facades are missing sections and the front door is missing. The permit map does show the building passed final inspection on June 1st.

One of the better builds in this size profile.

Final touches will be the decider. I'm hoping for none of the fake-wood-flooring-looking stuff.

Edit: eating my own words... went to DJ's full post and saw them installing the fake wood around the entrance.

Only took 16 years from the original 7-floor Spirit Place proposal that Council and staff of the day (Mason, Craig, Karsten, Sloane, Adams, McCluskey, Johns et al) and HRM planning staff all opposed, along with future Council member Austin as well in his posts here, resulting in the whole effort being torpedoed and the church being forced to sell the property, which led to the old church building's demolition. So nearly 2 decades later we get a similar 7-storey box apartment on the site with none of the community aspects for the former congregation that the church elders supported at the start. What a debacle.

We don't usually agree, Keith, but I do on this: all these years of hue and cry over a seven-storey building, only to end up with a worse result (not a bad result; this looks fine, but less than it could have been).

Totally agree.
