The Mayflower Tobacco Factory building is a small brick building on Nora Bernard St near the Halifax Common and the Armories. Built in the 1800s, it survived the Halifax Explosion. Now it’s home to ~23 small locally owned businesses and services. But, as with a lot of older buildings, a developer has another idea for its future.
The plan includes demolitions, a 17-storey tower and facade fronts. Quite a salute to its past. FHC wrote to HRM to caution against demolitions, their role in the climate and affordability crises, to offer better options for density and as always ask HRM to protect & expand green space on Halifax’s Common. See the letter below:
