Background

Dartmouth Crossing is a C$280 million commercial development owned by North American Development Group. [2] When it was first being developed, it was the largest retail construction project in Canada east of Calgary. [3]

It is located north of the interchange between Highway 111 and Highway 118 in Dartmouth. The centre is adjacent to the Burnside Industrial Park, the largest business park in Atlantic Canada. [4]

The site comprises 207 hectares (511 acres), and more than 81 hectares (200 acres) will be allotted to its retail component. [5] By 2009, Dartmouth Crossing is anticipated to contain approximately 204,000 square metres (2.2 million square ft) of retail space. [6] When it is fully built-out, the centre will contain an additional 46,500 square metres (500,000 sq ft) of hotel and office space, and will provide as many as 15,000 jobs. [3] [6]

The site is bisected by two waterways, Grassy and Frenchman's Brooks, and contains a number of walking and cycling trails that connect the centre to Burnside Park, nearby Shubie Park and residential areas in the vicinity. [7]
