As anyone who’s explored Portland street in downtown Dartmouth knows, the streetscape is a charmingly low-rise urban experience. Most buildings are between two and four storeys tall. Of course, one building that defies this trend is the RBC Building.

As the taller sibling on the street, it certainly stands out—and therefore deserves our attention. And we at Sidewalk are happy to give it our attention. We’re now in the early stages of demo to convert this commercial office tower into new residential units. Suffice it to say, we’d like to give this prominent building the full “Sidewalk” treatment—which means it will get new life, while respecting the community and history around it. Stay tuned!
