Thirty-six sites, one vision
A landmark new community. 5,300+ residential units across high-rises, mid-rises and townhomes — surrounded by a 7-acre central park.
An Overview
Centrally located. Fully serviced. As-of-right.
Ocean Breeze Village (OBV) is a landmark, community-redefining, high-density multi-residential urban development in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Centrally located next to the MacKay Bridge, with incredible views of Halifax Harbour and the Bedford Basin, surrounded by trees, and with a 7-acre central park, OBV will be a vibrant, dynamic neighbourhood with a uniquely suburban setting in a central, urban location.
The comprehensive masterplan for the 36 development sites includes a mix of building types — townhomes, mid-rise and high-rise buildings — along with commercial/retail opportunities and a large central park. Each site is zoned HR2 within HRM's Centre Plan, providing “as-of-right” high-density development opportunities.
