Apparently some dude named Joseph Metlege is going to build a 19 story tower on the current Trinity Anglican Church property at the corner of Brunswick and Cogswell streets, in front of (behind) the Staples on Gottingen St.

Pretty cool. And because it’s as-of-right, I guess they’re going to try to start construction this fall. Apparently this kid is 25 years old, and it sounds like this would be his third project after The Harwick just off Oxford St. and Palace Royale in Clayton Park. His father is Andrew Metlege, who’s developed quite a bit in Halifax, and no word yet on how these guys are related to Tony Metledge, if at all, but regardless of where he’s getting his money from, it’s good to see that he’s putting it to good use.
