King’s Wharf developer says project moving slower than expected, but will happen
Halifax News Net March 26, 2009 --
"The project vision combines a lifestyle centre - urban village feeling with world class architecture and construction quality. King's Wharf will offer Dartmouthians, residential purchasers, workers, shoppers, tourist visitors and Nova Scotians the opportunity to enjoy a world class, legacy development … 'one of a kind in Canada.'"
The development concept currently envisions:
* 1200 residential condominiums
* 200 room Hotel and Convention Center
* Hotel condominium suites
* 100,000 SF of mixed retail shopping
* 40,000 SF of commercial space.
" . . . The Greater Halifax Partnership has estimated the five years of construction at King's Wharf would create 675 jobs, supplying $24.5 million in annual household income. The yearly benefit to city coffers would be $5 million in property taxes. . . . "
