Halifax Port Authority forges private sector partnership

The Halifax Port Authority is moving forward with plans to develop its Seawall properties in Halifax’s south end.

On September 26, The Board of the HPA selected a private sector group led by Greenwood Lane Inc. as the proponent in response to an open call for proposals issued in April 2001.

The HPA and Greenwood Lane Inc. have agreed to enter into exclusive negotiations over the next several months to jointly establish a comprehensive agreement to proceed with a development plan.

Located south of the existing waterfront boardwalk, the property includes land area of approximately 15.6 acres, plus a number of buildings and general real estate facilities. The proposed development will be mixed-use and take into account use of the area for other shipping business and in particular the cruise business.
