For over 30 years, the owners of Cresco, first-generation Canadians Hossein Mousavi and Taleb Abidali, and their team have built award-winning homes and communities across Halifax Regional Municipality. The magic of this successful family-owned company is in its collaboration with customers, partners and a loyal network of builders and trades.
