Melville Heights & Melville Gardens

Melville Heights was a huge success, so much so that when the owners decided to build Melville Gardens (a second building on the site), BMR was once again chosen for the job.

For the structural framing of Melville Gardens, BMR chose cast in-place concrete foundations and a two-way reinforced concrete slab at the main floor level. Wood stud load-bearing walls and a combination of wood-I and sawn lumber floor joists were used to frame the upper two floors and the roof. The building also has two passenger elevators and extensive parking area in the basement.

The result is two impressive buildings overlooking Halifax’s Northwest Arm. Thanks to their impeccable facilities and superior design, Melville Heights and Melville Gardens have quickly become premier retirement facilities.
