[1] In 2010, TDB Halifax Holdings Limited announced its intention to enlarge the structure on its east side and to make substantial modifications to the roof (including an increase in height of 10 metres).
The changes roughly doubled the original floor area to about 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) and resulted in a more economical structure using "green" technologies.
The project, which entailed stripping the building to its original concrete frame while it continued under occupancy, was designed by Lydon Lynch Architects.
It incorporates the facade of an historic 19th century building, originally home to a leather harness maker, on its Granville Street level.
