Selected developments across Halifax and surrounding areas
The following projects represent development work led by Navid Saberi across Halifax, Nova Scotia and nearby communities, including active construction, completed developments, and ongoing residential and mixed-use initiatives.
Shiraz Gardens — Hammonds Plains
Shiraz Gardens is a residential community designed for people aged 50 and older in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia, located just outside Halifax. The development, associated with Navid Saberi and United Gulf Developments, combines apartment buildings and townhouses within a cohesive neighbourhood layout.

Shiraz Gardens reflects a focused response to a specific housing need in the Halifax region, rather than a generalized residential offering.

Long-term project stewardship
Across these developments, Navid Saberi’s approach emphasizes accountability and long-term responsibility. Projects are evaluated not only on feasibility and completion, but on how they perform over time for residents, tenants, and the surrounding Halifax communities.
This approach reflects a focus on durability, usability, and sustained value, ensuring each development continues to function effectively beyond initial delivery.
