Questions
Scope of this page.
How many federal office buildings are in Halifax?
84 structures with an office use, 217,479 m² of recorded floor area. 42 are Crown owned and 42 are held on a lease or licence.
Does this show the whole office market here?
No. These are federal holdings only. Privately owned office buildings are not in this source, so the totals here describe one occupier.

Boundary: This is the federal government’s own property holding, not the Canadian office market. It excludes every privately owned office building, and the Directory records condition on a federal assessment scale rather than a market classification. It is not a rent, vacancy or availability source.
Privacy: Official_Contact_Name, Official_Contact_Telephone and Official_Contact_Email are present in the source and are never read. The custodian named here is a federal department or Crown corporation.
