By holding ourselves to a higher standard of excellence, we have built an unmatched reputation from both a property and service perspective.
Southwest’s success with Bishop’s Landing has been outstanding, drawing critical acclaim from around the world and from the city itself. The unique design, emulating the ‘finger’ wharves of historic Halifax, provides water views from nearly every unit in the building, and creates public-friendly spaces in between for maximum enjoyment of the waterfront. Southwest’s dedication to preserving public access to the waterfront, as well as providing a prestigious and private home for its residentss is just one of the reasons that Bishop’s Landing has received so many awards. The Bishop’s Landing project was the first significant mixed-use development on the Halifax waterfront.
One of the most significant accolades, the international Excellence on the Waterfront award, was awarded to Bishop’s Landing in 2002, recognizing its unique approach and quality design above 70 other waterfront development entries from around the world.
Southwest Properties’ dedication to excellence and quality in their building residential and commercial developments has led to many other awards, including the ICSC Maple Leaf, the Halifax Urban Design People’s Choice Award, and the 2002 Eco-Efficiency Award.
In 2006, Southwest Properties received recognition as a finalist in the Better Business Bureau of Canada's Business Ethics Awards for Atlantic Canada. The Better Business Bureau of Canada gathers and provides reliable data that allows consumers to do business with companies they know are ethical and trustworthy.
