In recent years, the city of Halifax has been steadily gaining popularity. Just this month Maclean's Magazine named Halifax the best community to live in, in all of Canada! With its increasing popularity, Halifax has added some recent developments to the area. Let's review a few of the new condominium buildings that are on the rise!
NRTH Condos
NRTH Condos is another new condominium development that will be situated on the corner of Bilby Street and Gottingen Street in the North End of Halifax. This development will house 72 residential units among 8 stories. Developed by Urban Capital, the same developers who created Southport and Gorsebrook condos. Designed by Breakhouse Architects and Michael Napier Architecture, this building will feature underground parking, a fully equipped exercise room, a high-security lobby, and 3500 square feet of retail space on the ground level.
NRTH Condos is designed in honour of one of Halifax’s coolest neighbourhoods: The North End. It will combine modern and industrial finishes to create a stylish living space for working professionals in the area. Prepare yourself for large windows, concrete finishes and exposed ceilings.
Preston & Pepperell
Preston & Pepperell is the second condominium development to keep on your radar. It is located on the corner of Pepperell and Preston street in the South End of Halifax. These units were developed by Westwood Developments, the same developers behind popular condo buildings like Gladstone and Summer Gardens. Each condo will have its own private address and entrance: there will be no common hallways. This is a very unique feature not usually present in condo buildings. Condo fees will be kept low with fewer amenities: The main common element will be a sun-filled courtyard to gather with friends and family.
All units will have their own private decks and balconies, as well as smart home features. With concrete walls between each unit, as well as video security for the doors, units in this development will have the utmost soundproofing and security.
Aria at Long Lake
Aria at Long Lake is a new condo development on Dunbrack Street in Clayton Park that will have a total of 400 residential units. Developed by Polycorp and designed by Michael Napier Architecture, this development is aiming to bring the natural beauty of Long lake provincial park, and the urban experience of Downtown Halifax together to create an ideal living experience. Amenities will include a dog wash station, exercise room, community lounge, kayak storage & repair, car wash bay and more.
It will be constructed with Polycorp’s signature ICF system (insulating concrete form) and it will have triple glazed windows and doors. Polycorp aims to build this development with a low environmental impact, meeting LEED(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards.
Seapoint Condos
Seapoint Condos is a new condominium development in Dartmouth on one of the last pieces of waterfront property on the Halifax Harbour. Developed by Elm Developments and designed by Paul Skerry and Associates, these buildings will be built on a private 22-acre oceanfront area beside the Dartmouth Yacht Club. It will be comprised of condos and townhomes, commercial space, grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants and more. It will have some of the best views of the Halifax skyline that there is.
Amenities will include heated underground parking, professionally equipped gym, entertainment room, gourmet kitchen, bbq patio, guest suite and more.
