This week 2705 Robie Street and 57 Hamlet Lane were added. Next week at least two projects will be occupied, so the number may dip briefly, but I feel confident one hundred will be the normal baseline through 2024.

What is the total number of units and how many are proposed rentals or proposed condos ? How many are duplexes,row houses, terrace houses.
HRM has never provided a breakdown as to the number and type of units available to purchase.
In the 1931 census our house had 11 occupants aged 52 to 2 years, all were members of the Bowes family, one a nephew. I suppose I could do a modest reno and pack 11 S Asian students in at $500 per person. The 1921 census did not include the number of the house.
In early 1961 when my father in Britain was promoted from Detective Sergeant to Inspector and he bought a very nice terrace house with a living room, a dining room, a breakfast room, a kitchen, a pantry, 4 bedrooms, bathroom,toilet. Heated with natural gas from the North Sea. All a 6 minute walk to a commuter station and 30 minutes to his office. And 10 minutes to the seafront.
This is #21 and we were #19....conversions to flats/apartments has changed the street from all properties being owner occupied.
