Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, the city on the eastern shore of Halifax Harbour across the MacDonald Bridge from downtown Halifax, gives Dartmouth Crossing off Highway 118 in Dartmouth a position on the Halifax Regional Municipality’s fastest-growing retail corridor, where the Dartmouth and Cole Harbour residential base and the commuter household from Eastern Passage and the Musquodoboit Valley accesses the open-air lifestyle center as the primary comparison-shopping and large-format retail destination on the Dartmouth side of the Halifax Harbour. Costco anchors the warehouse grocery and general merchandise category, giving the property a bulk purchasing visit driver that the Halifax Regional Municipality household specifically accesses on the Dartmouth side without crossing the harbour bridges. Sephora, Chatters, Benefit Cosmetics BrowBar, and Bath and Body Works serve the prestige and accessible beauty categories.
Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, L.L. Bean, Mountain Warehouse, Dynamite, Garage, Levi’s, Reitmans, Laura and Melanie Lyne, and Torrid cover the accessible and lifestyle fashion floor. Adidas, Under Armour, Columbia, Puma, and Skechers serve the athletic and outdoor footwear and apparel categories. PSEUDIO, the Dartmouth-founded Atlantic Canadian women’s fashion chain, gives the property a locally-rooted fashion identity the Halifax Regional Municipality consumer treats as a Nova Scotia-specific commercial brand. Great Hobbies Halifax, the Halifax-area hobby and scale model retailer, gives the property a regional specialty retail identity for the Atlantic Canadian hobbyist community.
Ren’s Pets, the Atlantic Canadian pet supply and services chain, serves the pet retail category. Crumbl, Starbucks, and Dairy Queen serve the café and quick-service dessert categories. Miniso serves the lifestyle accessories and collectibles category. TELUS serves the telecom category. The property’s commercial role in HRM is the Dartmouth Crossing open-air lifestyle center: a Costco-anchored large-format retail hub whose PSEUDIO Atlantic Canadian fashion identity, Great Hobbies regional specialty, and Sephora-to-Bath-and-Body-Works beauty floor serves the Dartmouth, Cole Harbour, and eastern HRM household as the primary open-air retail destination on the Halifax harbour’s eastern shore.
