HALIFAX — Halifax’s housing supply is set to expand significantly with the upcoming Story of Willet West™ development by Hazelview Properties, adding 530 new rental homes in the growing Clayton Park neighbourhood.
Scheduled to open in early 2026, the project will feature two 17-storey towers designed to offer a mix of modern living spaces and community-focused amenities.
1. Expanding Halifax’s Rental Supply
As Halifax continues to grapple with strong population growth and rental demand, Hazelview’s project contributes much-needed purpose-built rental housing to one of the city’s most sought-after areas.
The development reinforces the company’s goal to enhance livability in growing urban centres across Canada.
2. Details of the Story of Willet West Project
Located at 210–124 Willet Street, Story of Willet West™ will feature 530 rental units spanning two 17-storey towers.
The suite mix will include bachelor, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, all offered at market rent.
The South Tower will welcome its first residents in January 2026, followed by the North Tower in April 2026.

Both towers will provide:
- Two levels of underground parking
- 12,000 sq. ft. of indoor amenity space
- 15,000 sq. ft. of rooftop terraces and outdoor gathering areas

5. Part of Hazelview’s “Story of Home” Collection
The Story of Willet West™ forms part of Hazelview’s Story of Home collection — a national series of purpose-built rental communities emphasizing comfort, connectivity, and sustainable living.
Other projects under this banner are currently underway in major Canadian cities, reflecting Hazelview’s long-term commitment to rental housing.
6. Meeting Demand in a Growing Halifax Market
With Halifax’s population and housing demand continuing to rise, purpose-built rental developments like Story of Willet West™ are essential to balancing supply and affordability.
