SACKVILLE, N.B. – Construction is progressing well on a new downtown commercial and residential development in Sackville that will feature 7,500 square feet of business space on the main floor with an additional three storeys of one-and-two-bedroom apartments.
“We’re happy with where we’re at,” said local developer John Lafford of JN Lafford Realty Inc. “We’re about where we want to be right now so everything’s going pretty good.”
Lafford said workers recently installed the roof and will be putting in windows over the next few weeks as they make it “weather-tight” before the cold and snow hits.
He said fortunately the weather has been cooperating nicely this fall, which helps a large project like this one move along much smoother. “So far, so good.”
The 44,000 square foot will include four storeys, with the first floor mainly taken up with commercial space, with a couple residential units at the rear of the building.
Joey’s Pizza and Pasta restaurant, which is currently located across the street, will be moving to the new location when construction is complete, as well as
Soper Physiotherapy.
As for the residential, Lafford said about half of the units are already rented, which he attributes to the prime location of the building, situated on the edge of the university campus and in the downtown core.
Lafford said he anticipates construction to be completed in early spring and hopes to open up the building by April 1.
Personal note - This is of course previously reported, but the news item shows the current status of the project and mentions the completion date - April 1st……..
