I’m with you that there’s a huge opportunity for high rise development within the Uptown core and other core adjacent areas, but this area isn’t exactly too far from the city centre (less than 10 minutes away from Uptown Saint John). I think there’s many people who’d rather live in a high rise apartment or condo in an area like this with a spectacular view and walking distance to multiple ocean beaches, nature reserves, etc… instead of a high rise within the uptown core and having to deal with all the disruptions that come with living Uptown.
It would be very good to see more ambitious proposals like this put forward for West Saint John… as if we can continue to grow the population of the city on this side of the river, we will have much more influence within the federal riding we’ve been put in (that is currently a mostly rural riding) … or it will result in further redistricting that puts us back within an urban riding.

It doesn’t have to be towers, but the rendering is pure AI slop which was clearly generated from a “give me an optimized housing layout for a developer who is broke, hates urbanism, loves seas of asphalt, and wants to capitalize on the WE NEED HOUSING craze in order to avoid accountability” prompt. Is this Percy again?
