[Moncton] Centre Avenir Centre | 26.65m |~6 Fl | Completed

[Unlearn Relearn]

Unfortunately downtown Moncton is stagnant, decaying and no one with money is coming to its rescue. Most buildings are older than 75 years, some covered with plastic siding, other are covered with re-painted old wood, all in all it is not attractive and probably never will be. Building an expensive Events Center downtown will never happen. Simply because the money people who take investment risks will never agree to put so much money in a property (Highfield Square) that is more than half cut-off by the rail tracks. Worst of all it has no on-site parking for 3,500 vehicles, and no place to expand in the eventuality that some day new buildings need to be added. I think that the guy/gal in the other forum is quite right, INVESTORS want to build a stunning complex with lots of space, lots of green, lots of on-site parking, lots of eventual expansion for new ideas that don't yet exist in 2013. Highfield square location is really a BAD choice, the proof is simply that the financing for the new Center has not come and will not come to heavily contaminated Highfield Square.
