New development for Dartmouth

194 townhouses being built, with hopes for four condo complexes
By KELLY SHIERS Staff Reporter

This summer, construction will begin on the first of 194 townhouses planned for a new community in north Dartmouth, even as the developer awaits approval to build four condominium buildings on the same site.

"We think what we are doing with our townhouse and condominium development in that area will transform north Dartmouth," said the man behind the $85-million project, Besim Halef of Banc Properties Ltd.

"What we wanted to build, really, is a community."

Located on 9.7 hectares 24 acres of land in an area between Victoria and Windmill roads, Trinity Harbourview Community will consist of townhouses marketed for first-time buyers and seniors looking to downsize.

Mr. Halef said he is also hopeful that a development agreement with the municipality will be approved to allow Banc Properties to go ahead with its plans to build four condominium buildings, with a total of 229 units.
