  • Mapping the Development of Condominiums in Halifax, Ns 1972 - 2016
    MAPPING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONDOMINIUMS IN HALIFAX, NS 1972 - 2016 by Colin K. Werle Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of GEOG 4526 for the Degree Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Department of Geography and Environmental Studies Saint Mary’s University Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada © Colin Werle, 2017 April, 2017 Members of the Examining Committee: Dr. Mathew Novak (Supervisor) Assistant Professor, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Saint Mary’s University Dr. Ryan Gibson School of Environmental Design and Rural Development University of Guelph ABSTRACT Mapping the Development of Condominiums in Halifax, NS from 1972 – 2016 by Colin K. Werle This thesis offers foundational insight into the spatial and temporal patterns of condominium development in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Characteristics that are analysed include: age, assessed values, building types, heights, number of units, and amenities. Results show that condominium development in Halifax first appeared in the suburbs in the 1970s, with recent activity occurring in more central areas. The greatest rate of development was experienced during a condominium boom in the late 1980s, however, development has been picking up over the last decade. Apartment style buildings are the major type of developments, with an average building size of 46.52 units. Similar to other markets in Canada, Halifax’s condominium growth does appear to be corresponding with patterns of re- centralization after decades of peripheral growth in the second half of the twentieth-century. April, 2017 ii RÉSUMÉ Mapping the Development of Condominiums in Halifax, NS from 1972 – 2016 by Colin K. Werle Cette dissertation donnera un aperçu des tendances spatiales et temporelles de base sur le développement des condominiums à Halifax (Nouvelle-Écosse).

Background Regional Plan (2006-2014) Policy E-16 “HRM shall, through the applicable land use by-law, prohibit all residential development on the coast within a 2.5 metre elevation above the ordinary high water mark, except for lands designated Halifax Harbour on the Generalized Future Land Use Map and industrial lands within the port of Sheet Harbour.” Background Background Staff Report (January 14, 2014): “The current Regional Plan prohibits residential development, apart from those located within the Harbour Designation, from being established along the coast at an elevation of less than 2.5 metres above the ordinary high water mark (OHWM). The revised Regional Plan is proposing to replace the existing system of elevation above the OHWM with a more precise Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum (CGVD) standard. A CGVD 28 value of 3.8 metres is being proposed. The 3.8 metres CGVD 28 value is nominally higher than the 2.5 metres above OHWM, and it better reflects potential impacts of future sea level rise and storm surge events.
