I saw a new render (Collier Int.) on Mapleton nearby the Car-Wash, if you have time you should pass by.

Really? Retail? Thats pretty cool, new renders popping up all over the place these past few weeks, Im not complaining

Speaking of Mapleton I passed by the new hotel going up near there and the highway...its HUGE! six stories and all...wish they could have invested in downtown, but I guess that area needs more right now.

Hard to say, at the first glance it seemed like being a office building. From what I saw of it , the design is nice.

Moreover, the Mapleton Power Center as well as the Clinic/retail should re-start in the new few days.

Yeah, that area is growing on a fast pace, did you see the whole rendering for the land surrounding the hotel ? They have planned retail, restaurant and a gaz-bar as well.

I think I saw it a while ago, but I cant remember what it looked like...

so currently going on up there (by which I mean the Trinity/Mapleton/Mountain rd area) we have:

1. 6 story hotel

2. Large new power center with NBs 1st "The Brick" as anchor

3. Medical Clinic with retail space

4. New office/retail or whatever that thing is you saw haha

5. two new small strips of retail on mountain rd

6. two storey Lawtons store just opened within last two months.

I should get pictures so I can make that into a nice looking/properly worded list

ErickMontreal · #**2046** Posted **Apr 27, 2008, 11:34 PM**

Moreover, you could add infrastructure works on Mapleton to your list, should start in mid-May.

Oh yes thats right! too much development, need to widen the street to handle it all

ErickMontreal · #**2048** Posted **Apr 27, 2008, 11:47 PM**

I looking foward to see Mapleton Power Center line-up, we should get some exclusivities. ( Provincially )

Yeah thats pretty much guaranteed, unless its all doubles of existing stores in Moncton, which is highly unlikely. I was really hoping for MEC, thats really too bad, I know they could do really well in Moncton...we should do a city wide petition, go door to door and get signatures...Citizens for a MEC in Moncton!!

From what a I know about them, they used to set up shop old Downtown buildings. Unfortunatly for us it is quite unlikely to see them getting involved in a Power center development.

So we could foresee some girly stores as Jacob Connexion, Laura, Esprit, Tristan, La vie en rose and so on.

Yeah, too bad for us, but good for them...I wish there were more stores like that! We need strong urban supporters in the retail world...maybe once downtown Moncton gets a convention center, new arena, justice complex and possibly a new casino/hotel etc we will see an increase in retail down there, and then maybe we could attract the likes of MEC...heres hoping!

We could wish it ! Maybe with the planned refurbischement of Highfield square`s dead body, the downtown retail will turn out great and revelant.

Anyone know when the strip mall at the intersection of mountain and Evergreen was supposed to start? I used to drive by there almost every day. They put the sign up sometime last summer, but nothing seems to have been done there.

Yeah that sign has been there for quite a while with no action, starting to lose hope, kinda sad though cause its a really nice looking design for a strip mall, two floors and everything. Who knows, maybe we will see something happen this summer...next time I go by ill take down the company name, see if I can e-mail them or something...ask what the status is. One of the new signs I was talking about is between NBCC and the former church/swingers club haha

Nope...is that where its going? I didnt even know that haha...I figured it was going somewhere around there, but I wasnt sure the exact location...I passed by fairly recently maybe a week or so ago and I didnt see a sign, but I wasnt really looking...

Also has anyone heard about that Microtel Inn that was supposed to be coming to town?

OH and BTW in case anyone was wondering that new hotel by the Big Stop in Sailsbury is U/C...last time I went by they were working on the foundations.

It supposed to be located in front Holiday Inn or Country Inn on Mountain road. One thing is for sure, there was a sign last october, I even took a shot of it.

ErickMontreal · #**2059** Posted **Apr 28, 2008, 12:36 AM**

Motel 6

mylesmalley · #**2060** Posted **Apr 28, 2008, 12:41 AM**

I wonder why all these hotels are being built at Mapleton. I mean, the intersection of mountain and TCH has all the infrastructure, it's closer to all the big tourist attractions etc.
