Protect the Barrington Street Heritage Conservation District
Barrington St. Heritage Conservation
District without High Rise at
location of the Roy Building
(click on image to see before/after)
Halifax has a new Barrington Street Heritage Conservation District. The low scale, of three to six storeys, is the unifying characteristic of the District, which has a 72-foot height limit. Halifax Regional Council is considering two proposed developments that would break the rules of the District. The proposed developments would involve the complete demolition of the Roy Building and the construction of two high-rise towers in the middle of the Heritage District. The proposed towers of 14 and 16 storeys (182 and 226 feet high) would completely negate the low scale of the fledgling historic District and would threaten the future of the District.
Public hearings will be held by Regional Council on Tuesday, May 10 at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers...more
