This project occupies a prominent site in Halifax, with significant frontage on the public boardwalk that lines the western edge of harbour.
The main public entrance on Lower Water Street, six metres above the boardwalk level, leads into a five-storey atrium that connects the neighbourhood to the waterfront, offering spectacular views of the harbour. The new atrium retains and emphasizes the original steel structure within the facility. The new gross floor area is approximately 23,000 m2 including office, atrium and amenity uses.
