Please attend this important meeting and make comments on the 19 proposed developments…

The classic 3-storey Coburg Apartments, an Edwardian-era building at Spring Garden and Robie, on the South Common, is one of a dozen+ buildings that will be demolished by two developers if their plans for 16 & 30 storey and 20 & 26 storey high-rises in the single block between Carlton, College, Robie and Spring Garden Road are approved.
Most of the 19 proposals are for highrises that break existing height restrictions and are out-of -scale with neighbourhoods. They’ll cause dozens of affordable small-scale, mixed-use residential units, commercial spaces & historic houses to be demolished. This will harm Halifax’s Common in various ways. Examples are:
- 13 storey on Robie, Cunard – Compton
- 14 storey on Robie St, Pepperell – Shirley
- 16 & 30 storey on Spring Garden Rd & Robie west of Carlton
- 20 & 26 storey on College & Robie St west of Carlton
