Here we go again:)
Ok tell me what you think about these two completely identical buildings located in downtown at Halifax waterfront. They were build in 1985 and I believe they are youngest towers in Halifax. The thing that sucks is their height, they are only 90m tall. They practicly stand on water.
I lived there for one year and Halifax has a fine skyline for a city of it's size.

6.5/10 pretty neat, the height just hampers it from getting a 7 or higher.

They look cool but are vertically-challenged.

I've always loved these towers, they dominate the waterfront and define what Halifax looks like in my brain. 9/10

Haha, Purdyswharf.com may have gotten wise to your hotlinking ways, so you might want to update you images, this time hopefully using an image host. :)

I really like the design, built right on pillars over the water. The interior is really nice too, I just wish the things were taller.
