St. Joseph’s Square

Have you been wondering what’s happening with the latest potential development in the North End?

St. Joseph’s Square will include 83 private residences (condos) with 12 townhouses and commercial space.  With the potential influx “Ship Building Jobs”, this project will be a valuable asset to our historic North End.  Or will it?  This building is to be constructed at the corner of Russell and Kaye, extending to a commercial entrance on Gottingen. Because this is very near the Historic Hydrostone Market, the question of how this building will fit into this unique neighbourhood will be raised by residents. The developer, ECL Properties, has indicated that care was taken to maintain the townhouses in the design to create an illusion of a low-rise identity, compatible to the surrounding neighborhood, and to also enhance the pedestrian environment. Originally the plan was for 11 stories, but ECL has reduced the planned height to be 8.5 stories.

ECL Properties was the developer for another popular building in Halifax, The Martello, luxury condos located above Park Lane Shopping Centre.
