Westwood's Story

The Story of Westwood Developments

Westwood Developments is a Halifax-based real estate developer and property management company with more than 30 years of experience creating exceptional residential communities, apartment buildings, and commercial spaces in Nova Scotia. From boutique mixed-use developments to some of Halifax’s most recognizable addresses, including Richmond Yards, Westwood is known for building places that people are proud to call home.

Founded as a family-owned company, Westwood has grown into one of Atlantic Canada’s most respected apartment developers and property managers, while maintaining a personal, community-first approach to everything we do.

Building Communities, Not Just Buildings

From the beginning, Westwood’s vision has been clear: great buildings should enhance daily life. Our residential developments are designed to support real living from modern apartment layouts and premium finishes to shared amenity spaces that foster connection and community.

This philosophy comes to life at Richmond Yards, one of Halifax’s most exciting new apartment communities in the North End. With thoughtfully designed suites, resident-only amenities, and vibrant commercial spaces at street level, Richmond Yards reflects Westwood’s commitment to urban living done right.

Shaping Halifax’s Most Desirable Neighbourhoods

As Halifax has grown, so has Westwood. We develop and manage apartment buildings, mixed-use communities, and commercial real estate in some of the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods from the North End to downtown and the South End.

Our commercial developments support local entrepreneurs, creative businesses, and national brands, helping them establish successful locations within walkable, thriving communities. This balance of residential and retail is what makes Westwood properties feel alive not just occupied.

Full-Service Development & Property Management

Westwood is unique in that we design, build, lease, and manage our own properties. This integrated model ensures consistent quality, responsive service, and long-term value for residents and commercial tenants alike.

Whether you live at Richmond Yards, The Mills, The Doyle, or another Westwood community, you benefit from hands-on property management, on-site teams, and a company that is deeply invested in the long-term success of every building.

A Family-Owned Company With a Long-Term Vision

As a family-owned and operated real estate company, Westwood doesn’t build for short-term returns, we build for the future. That means better materials, better design, and better relationships with the people who live and work in our buildings.

We believe strong communities are the foundation of great real estate, and that belief guides every apartment we lease, every storefront we design, and every neighbourhood we help shape.

The Future of Living in Halifax

From landmark developments like Richmond Yards to the next generation of Halifax apartments and mixed-use communities, Westwood Developments continues to lead the way in thoughtful, high-quality urban real estate across Nova Scotia.

Our goal is simple:
To create places that inspire, endure, and bring people together — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
