July 22, 2020 (Halifax, NS) - The Armour Group Limited (“Armour”) has begun an extensive redevelopment of 236 Brownlow Avenue, in the Park Place Corporate Campus, located in Dartmouth’s City of Lakes Business Park.
The newly named “Park Place Landing” (the former head office of Lawton’s Drug Store) is the most recent addition to the amenity-rich Park Place Corporate Campus. The redevelopment includes:
· reduction and modernization of space
· replacement of mechanical and air quality systems, bringing them up to today’s standards
· exterior refresh and expanded landscaping
· new multi-level, interconnected parking structure with 225 covered spaces
· a “Winter Garden” - a glass-enclosed, south facing atrium and casual, communal gathering area with indoor green-scaping for year-round use and a connected outdoor terrace for warmer months.
This ‘like new’ building will offer 35,000 square feet of prime, light-filled, contemporary office space that is highly efficient, lower cost to operate and environmentally friendly. The redevelopment will cost approximately $9 million and expected completion is Fall 2020.
With 8 buildings, including 7 leading-edge office buildings and the Delta Dartmouth Hotel, Park Place Corporate Campus is Halifax’s largest contiguous suburban office complex. The campus pairs location with premium services and amenities available to the entire campus community including premium hotel, meeting and wellness facilities, a selection of food and beverage options, ample parking and 24-hour security and maintenance.
“Park Place Landing adds 35,000 square feet of prime contemporary, highly-efficient office space to the amenity-rich Park Place Campus. The year-round Winter Garden feature continues our commitment to incorporating non-traditional meeting and work spaces, responding to the changes in how we work today” says Scott Armour McCrea, CEO, The Armour Group Ltd.
Park Place Campus is located at the intersection of Burnside Drive and Hwy 111 with direct access to Hwy 111 and Hwy 118. Burnside Drive is set to become a major thoroughfare as part of the Burnside Connector project, creating a high-speed bypass to connect to Bedford and Sackville.
The Armour Group Limited’s future plans for the site include a further 80,000 sq. ft. of A-Class office space, with highly visible Burnside Drive frontage. Construction is expected to begin in the next few years.
