Nova Centre, Mixed-use development in Downtown Halifax, Canada
Nova Centre is a mixed-use development in downtown Halifax that covers two city blocks with substantial floor space. The complex contains retail areas, office towers, and the Halifax Convention Centre, all arranged across the site.
Construction began in 2014 on this site, which previously held the headquarters of the Halifax Chronicle-Herald newspaper. The project was completed in 2017 and has reshaped the downtown area since.
The exterior design uses shapes that remind visitors of sails and ships, reflecting Halifax's deep connection to the harbor and maritime heritage. This visual reference to the sea makes the building feel connected to the city's identity.
The site is easy to navigate on foot with multiple entrances for visitors and shoppers. Plan to spend time exploring the different areas, as the complex spans multiple levels and sections.
Rogers Square occupies space where a city street once ran and now serves as both a walking area and venue for public events. This square shows how the development transforms former city infrastructure into active gathering space.
