Why Build in Liverpool?
✓
20% Lower Construction Costs
Liverpool's 0.80x cost multiplier compared to HRM delivers significant savings on labor and materials. Combined with affordable land prices, investors can build quality rental units at substantially reduced capital outlay.
✓
$21.5 Million Infrastructure Investment
Provincial and municipal investment is extending water and wastewater services to the Mount Pleasant area, creating development-ready land for new housing. This infrastructure expansion signals commitment to growth and removes a key barrier to development.
✓
Regional Services Hub
As the administrative center for Queens County (population 10,500), Liverpool provides government services, healthcare, retail, and hospitality employment. Regional catchment creates stable year-round tenant demand beyond the town's 2,546 residents.
✓
Tourism Economy
White Point Beach Resort and Quarterdeck Beachside Villas draw visitors year-round, creating employment in hospitality. Fort Point Lighthouse, Sherman Hines Museum, and Hank Snow Home Town Museum add cultural attractions. Hell Bay Brewing Company and local artisan shops support the visitor economy.
