Couple tidbits:
- The former Bungays Bike Shop on Mountain has been sold and will become
Kellys Vacuum
- The Colonial Inn on Highfield st is now undergoing a renovation (finally). Its under new ownership and will be re-branded as
Colonial Hotel and Suites. This along with the newly restored Dominion Public Building will clean up the bottom end of Highfield a fair amount
- The cruddy old 4 floor building on Botsford (across the street from the Canada Bread bakery) has come into new hands and is being renovated...a sign has gone up on it for
Passage which was booted from Highfield Square.
- Somehow (boggling even my stats geared mind) Killiam Properties has managed to increase their apartment occupancy in the Moncton area from 94.8 in September last year to
96.8 this September...this makes no sense to me considering the apparent over-supply we have been creating in the area over the last 2 years...either Killiam has some secret, or demand is jumping quite high! This upward movement in occupancy will undoubtedly be a good measure for them to move forward with plans for a shiny new 7 floor building on St George
