If you’ve been waiting for a chance to create something truly iconic on the Dartmouth waterfront… this is it. This approximately 5,344 sq. ft. lot offers a rare combination of dual frontage on Fairbanks Street and Shore Road, paired with a natural grade that invites a bold, architecturally striking design. Positioned to capture sweeping, unobstructed views, this property puts the very best of the harbour front and centre, from the Halifax skyline and ever-changing shipping lanes to Georges Island, McNabs Island, and the open harbour beyond. It’s a view that speaks to those who truly love Dartmouth… and everything that makes this side of the harbour so special. An existing home is currently on the property, offering flexibility for your vision, whether you choose to build onto what’s there or start fresh and create your own architectural masterpiece designed to maximize the setting and those incredible views. Set within walking distance to downtown Dartmouth, Alderney Landing, the ferry terminal, the Sportsplex, local shops, restaurants, and waterfront parks, the location blends lifestyle and convenience in a way few properties can. The lot supports single-family or two-unit development as-of-right, with additional potential through planning for those looking to explore a larger vision. This isn’t just another building lot, it’s a chance to shape a piece of the Dartmouth waterfront in a way that stands apart. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare… and quite simply, there isn’t another lot like it.
