Irving Oil HQ proposal


I went to a Port authority and Irving Oil press conference about a proposal for a new Irving Oil headquarters on Long Wharf. the building is not a high rise (which could have been neat, but may have blocked views from and of Fort Howe), but it will be built to LEED standards and looks pretty well designed. The site will include public space and a cruise ship welcome area. Hopefully something like this can happen. The rendering on the right was provided on a CD as we left.

It looks very nice, but still, I heard that originally they were planning a very tall, 30 or more floor, tower. This I prefer, maybe in the North of Union area.

Long Wharf could be developed into a park or condos, but not an office complex. From the drawing it looks like a lighter version of the Regional Hospital.
