[Moncton] Dieppe Developments

[MonctonRad]

Aviation Avenue is a veritable hive of activity these days. In particular, there is a large mystery construction site on the north side of Aviation at it's extreme eastern point (just before the barricades at the end of the road). Does anyone have any idea what is being built here???

That grass patch was used by ATV to get to the trails. Would have made a nice walk/bike path . sad for the house that had a nice backyard but on the other hand it will be a very nice spot for people renting these apartments.

There is a building under construction on Champlain st. on the airport lands just before the old terminal. Anyone know what it is?

This will be a fairly large building.

Is it a tower crane?

The post just said it was a crane but they said it was big so I imagine yes

Indeed, and it is a proper tower crane too!

This is what is being built there:



An excellent addition to the growing downtown core of Dieppe.

As for the other crane mentioned above, across from Lou McNairn School on Gauvin Road, it is only a mini tower crane.

[MonctonRad]

So, this will be the third proper tower crane operating concurrently in Dieppe, two of them downtown. This has to be a record for Dieppe. It should be noted however that one of these cranes is for the moribund Promenade Neuf Phase Two development. We are close to the end of the second lost construction year on this project. One really has to wonder what is going on here. The rumour is of a relatively trivial property dispute, but this delay is obviously costing the developer hundreds of thousands of dollars. Think of the rental fees on that tower crane alone!

In addition to the three proper tower cranes, there are at least four mini tower cranes operating in Dieppe as well. I think this year that development in Dieppe is at least rivalling, if not surpassing what's going on in Moncton. In Moncton, the major active projects are the Three Sisters, the Codiac RCMP HQ and the Franklin Yards. The sheer scale of the Three Sisters probably gives Moncton a slight advantage over Dieppe.

Here's a photo of the new tower crane, now completely installed:

you'll see phase 2 start pretty soon. I believe the wrinkles have been ironed out.

Anyone heard of this? Not sure if it's opened or opening soon but seems to be the only location in Atlantic Canada.

This is news to me. The address corresponds to Champlain (Petitcodiac) Plaza.

Yet another breakfast/lunch based restaurant like Cora's or Pur & Simple.

There are over 100 locations nationwide, mostly in Ontario. The website lists Dieppe as "coming soon."

Don't know if I'm late to the party but I was driving on Gauvin there's a Crane on the other side of Lou Mcnarin , possibly a 6 story building built there aswell ?.

There's actually a whack of new apartment construction going on in Dieppe, mostly away from main arterials, and especially on Gauvin. Since these projects are only medium sized, not architecturally distinctive, and somewhat hidden out of the way, they haven't really been discussed on our forum here.
