HALIFAX, N.S. – Armco Capital announced today it has transferred ownership of its property at the corner of Robie Street and Quinpool Road to the Shannex group of companies.

“I have known Joe Shannon and his family for many years. It is an honour and a privilege to pass on the stewardship of the development of this property to such a great person and organization,” says Armco Capital Founder, George Armoyan. “I am grateful to my team in Halifax who have brought the property to this stage and I look forward to their continued work as they shift their focus to our other exciting development projects in Atlantic Canada.”

We have considered every detail to enrich the lives of residents who are looking for a lifestyle and a variety of suite options and amenities with the convenience of being able to purchase additional services as they choose.”
