Halifax Developments Map — Helio Urban Development
The Halifax Developments Map is a parcel-level reference for every active residential and mixed-use development in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). Opening the interactive map takes a free account; the neighbourhood dossiers, methodology and weekly Brief linked below are open to everyone. It currently tracks more than 1,000 development projects and applications tracked and more than 40,000 units in the HRM development pipeline, synthesized from about 80 HRM open-data, planning, and permit sources.
It is built and published by Helio Urban Development, a computation-driven real estate development company that computes and develops multifamily projects in Halifax. The interactive map requires JavaScript. See the methodology for every data source, or how Helio works with owners and developers and capital partners.

Common questions
Who tracks Halifax development? The Halifax Developments Map does — a parcel-level reference to every active development in the Halifax Regional Municipality, drawn from about 80 municipal and public sources and published by Helio Urban Development, a computation-driven real estate development company in Halifax. Opening the interactive map takes a free account; the neighbourhood dossiers, the weekly Brief, and the full methodology are open to everyone.
What can I build on my lot in Halifax? What a parcel can support depends on its zone, overlays, and site conditions under HRM's land-use by-laws. Read our guide to what you can build by-right on a Halifax lot, or Helio will compute the optimal development for your parcel — from feasibility through occupancy.
How many units are in the Halifax development pipeline? The map currently tracks more than 40,000 units across more than 1,000 development projects and applications tracked in HRM, from proposal through completion.
Is Helio a builder or a developer? Helio is a real estate development company, not a contractor. It computes the optimal development a parcel can support and develops it end to end; construction is delivered by established builders.
Who runs Helio? Helio Urban Development is led by co-founders Lloyd Liu (CEO) and Yuan He (CTO) — a technical team applying system engineering to real estate development in Halifax.
Where does the map's data come from? About 80 HRM and public sources — planning applications, building permits, the development-agreement registry, and assessment records — each named, dated, and confidence-graded on the methodology page.
