Why go

The contrast at Duke and Hollis streets shows how redevelopment has reshaped downtown Halifax. Older street-level building fabric survives within a modern office development, rather than as a row of complete historic interiors. Looking at it alongside nearby Historic Properties and Granville helps distinguish different treatments of the city’s commercial architecture.

What to look for

  • Heritage street-level façades sit below a contemporary glass office tower.
  • The Duke and Hollis corner makes the contrast between old and new easy to see.

Useful to know

  • Compare the exterior with nearby Historic Properties and Granville’s older commercial streets.
