Life at EastPoint
We’re all about embracing teamwork, fostering creativity, and having a blast while we do amazing work together.
We love where we work
A perk of being a design firm is that we’ve created our own working space! Our office at 1801 Hollis Street, in the heart of Halifax, provides a modern working environment with comfortable offices and workstations, meeting rooms and breakout spaces, and plenty of area for our ping-pong tournaments. No need to be reminded when it’s time for lunch, thanks to the noontime cannon at nearby Citadel Hill. We’re steps away from the Halifax-Alderney ferry and the Lower Water and Scotia Square bus terminals. Should you need a break from your screens, you can take in unmatched views of Halifax Harbour—our telescope makes it fun to watch the ships come in.
2,100 m2 of modern office space
1 office, one-team philosophy
122 places to eat within walking distance
4 km of waterfront boardwalk for lunchtime strolls
31 bus routes under a five-minute walk (we also subsidize public transport passes)
35 minutes to ocean beaches
Why our staff love it here

A place where every voice matters
Consider a playlist restricted to one tune, a pantry limited to a single spice, or a bookshelf containing just one story. We know there is so much more to experience! Embracing diversity expands our perspective and creates opportunities to grow. At EastPoint, it’s not about fitting in—it’s about being your true self at work. We honour and celebrate diverse perspectives and talents because it’s integral to who we are, enriching our understanding of the world and making us better at what we do. It’s part of who we are and how we uphold our values of respect and quality.
Social values that shape our approach
Embedding sustainability into our business operations guides our commitment to environmental stewardship, social impact, and economic responsibility. Our BOMA BESt Silver and Energy Star certified building features low-flow fixtures, smart lighting controls, and electric vehicle charging. Technology aids communication, curbing unnecessary travel. Paperless workflows and eco-friendly practices underscore our commitment to a healthier, greener workplace. We prioritize staff wellness through comprehensive benefits, several social events throughout the year, and healthy snacks every Monday. We’re involved with more than 30 associations, applying our professional backgrounds and energies to collaborate across our industry and the local community. We consciously seek to support local businesses where possible, and participate in community projects where limited project capital exists.
