A $300-million development for the Bedford Basin made it past the first approval hurdle.


Harbour Isle on Wright’s Cove will feature shops, a hotel, boardwalks, restaurants, condos and town homes.


The Ontario developer, The Yorkville Group, was given the nod by Dartmouth Council last week.


“We have received a wonderful response to our initial marketing campaign and we believe Harbour Isle will be a very positive major addition to the HRM including job creation, support for local businesses, and of course, additional contributions to the tax base,” said Charles Moon, president of the Yorkville Group in a statement.


“We are very pleased to be able to develop and create what the council envisioned recently with the planning initiatives to bring about a renaissance of this very special section of the HRM waterfront,” Moon said.
