Good to hear. They will need this roundabout (and connection to Mountain Road) open before they can start on those two eight storey apartment buildings.

They are now in the final stages of finishing off the Worthington connector to Mountain Road (cleaning of the road surfaces). I suspect it will be open this weekend.

All pylons have been removed.

Drove down the new street. At present, the only connection at the roundabout at the top of the street is to Ayer Avenue.

I wonder if work will start on those two proposed eight storey buildings this year?

[Leroy321]

This is major! They now have a website up and running. "Construction of Station Yards properties will begin this fall." I wonder if they are still starting with block K first.

These are the first actual renders released regarding the Station Yards. It will be interesting to see how closely they will resemble the final products. Looks very nice though.

Yeah, those renderings look excellent. I particularly like the smaller three storey buildings.

Those buildings look Nordic - like something you would find in Copenhagen or Norway.

These renders are not random. I can actually pick out on the site plan where this rendering is located:



This perspective is from the south end of the "land for public purposes, facing southward towards the stacked townhomes.

Love this!

This will be an amazing addition to the city!

Drove through the roundabout again the other day. Work on Worthington beyond the roundabout is progressing. They are putting in curbs at present, and doing some levelling for the road surface.

I imagine Worthington will have to be complete before they start construction this fall.

Another rendering I found on the Station Yards website:



This is new:

The developers are now referring to this portion of the Station Yards (in behind the Northwest Centre) as The Boulevards, and consider it to be the "downtown" of the development.

Boutique shops, cafés, and other amenities bring downtown living to your neighbourhood without the commute.

They now refer to five distinct neighbourhoods in the Station Yards:

- The Gardens (lowrise neighbourhood)
- The Parks (midrise district)
- The Vistas (highrise quarter)
- The Boulevards (retail hub)
- Shannex Retirement Living

The only real change is that they have carved The Boulevards out of a portion of the midrise district. I suppose this is an acknowledgement of the importance of having a well defined but integrated "downtown" area of the community.

Some of these Station Yards buildings if they come to reality look really nice (better than all the bland Spitfire rinse repeat buildings)...that white one with the black steel roof is snazzy looking.

The problem is that it's super easy to generate very nice looking AI renderings and I would take them with a very large grain of salt.

[Leroy321]

Nothing new, but as of August 11th, Shannex stated, "Construction is expected to begin in Fall 2026." It just goes to show that they are still looking to start in the fall.

I was thinking about how much of a hassle it would be to eventually split Northwest Centre (former Moncton mall for you old folks lol) in half to run a road through it to access this project. So I came up with a bit of a solution. The thought would be change the road connecting the development to plaza blvd. So I did the opposite, I changed plaza blvd to connect to the development. I also added a small cul-de-sac to access some of the residential developments off of plaza. Thoughts?

[MonctonRad]

That is brilliant out of the box thinking!

And, if you did this, then that stub of Ryan Street would terminate at a proper signalized intersection. If you did this, then maybe you could reconnect both ends of Ryan Street by building a proper overpass over Mountain Road. This would help reduce congestion on Mountain Road at the Wheeler Blvd interchange.

Maybe you should send this to the traffic planners at city hall and see what they think!

[josh_cat_eyes]

I'm pretty sure that some of the planners follow SSP. I know of at least one that's in Riverview that does. I spoke with him one time and he asked me if I was josh_cat_eyes.

I always thought Moncton Chrysler had a really weird lot shape and it would probably be nice from them to square it up a little bit as well.

When I went to the Riverfront visioning event, the planners I was talking to were well aware of SSP. I outed myself as MonctonRad so that they would send me the actual plans so I could post them.
