Harbourside Commercial Park was incorporated by the Province of Nova Scotia in order to take advantage of the excellent infrastructure, its excellent proximity to a deep water port and its central location within the heart of Nova Scotia's second largest city - Sydney.

The park is located adjacent to downtown Sydney in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Harbourside Park is housed on the former Sydney Steel Plant; therefore, an extensive existing infrastructure is present. The Atlantic Canada Bulk Terminal operates next to the park so Trans-Atlantic shipping is readily available. Harbourside is the newest marine commercial park on the Eastern Seaboard.

The park encompasses over 300 acres and accommodations for commercial, industrial and office enterprises are available. The park provides an ever-expanding workforce for the Cape Breton region.
