Another claim to frame for SJ…it's awesome but odd! Maybe George rolled though Saint John back in the 70's, got gunned and left it behind?

More good news..

Moncton building company brings 50 jobs to Saint John port
IAM Building Systems builds pre-fabricated, earthquake proof buildings for the Caribbean market

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunsw...ngs-50-jobs-to-saint-john-port-1.3098302

More jobs for the city, more business for the port and it's NB based which equals an all around win, more emphasis on growing local based business will be what drives growth in the province.

...and full approvals were given by the Heritage Board this evening. Forget pipelines and potash; these are the kind of developments that Saint John needs -- investments in urban quality of life!

the illustration looks amazing and i have admired that building for years now so pleased by what Historica does!

Here is an arial drone video of Saint John I came across on YouTube.

Projects like these ONLY happen because people like Keith Brideau believe that the future economic engines of growth-such as the pipeline- that he needs for his project to generate a return on his investment over time,will happen.
Real estate development does not happen in a vacuum.It's a byproduct of economic development.What you don't see happening is a result of a lack of economic development.What you see happening is because of people that believe that the spin offs from projects like the pipeline will give a boost to the economy enough to support their projects.

Just from some pictures on FB it looks like the "Inside Uptown Tour" was a success!! What a great way to spend an afternoon, did anyone get a chance to attend??

Yes, an excellent way to showcase the Uptown way of life! For a "first" attempt at something like this, I thought Uptown Saint John did a great job - we were very involved in a similar program in Toronto - Cabbagetown Tour of Homes - and it was always a huge success and charity fund raiser. Looking forward to this becoming an annual event but would like to see more private residences on the tour. Great job everyone!

Does anyone know whats going on out in Quispamsis, at the corner by the Mc-Esso off the highway?

It looks like the corner across from the new Irving is being prepped for something. Hopefully something good.

BeautifulNB · #**10132** Posted **Jun 24, 2015, 11:02 AM**

It is a new Leisure Time Sales location.

Crashed_Ice · #**10133** Posted **Jun 24, 2015, 11:45 AM**

Ah OK. Good location for sure. Thanks for the update Beautiful

Apparently, Irving Oil is snapping up a lot of property in the Red Head area, and at double the going rates, and according to the CBC report below, it is believed they are planning to revive their plans for the second refinery. Let's hope so!

Crashed_Ice · #**10135** Posted **Jun 25, 2015, 4:19 PM**

We could only wish thats what they are doing.

So many people are up in arms and against it. Its progress! For the love of god let it happen.

I really hope that this goes through.

Would love to see more development and shopping in the valley, especially more places to eat.

Irving is on a property buying streak in Red Head and paying over assessed values too..…second refinery perhaps??

Didn't they try and build a Wal-Mart near here a few years ago and the town went ballistic??

Crashed_Ice · #**10139** Posted **Jun 25, 2015, 5:34 PM**

Rothesay went nuts about it. Quispamsis was on board I believe.
Would be nice to see that out there but even if it wasnt that, some more bigger stores in the area wouldnt be a bad thing IMO.

Also there is a nice park in the middle of it. I think if done right, it would really look nice and bring some value to the area.

As much as the people are going on with the whole NIMBY stuff, it brings jobs and spurs the economy around here.
We need to invest in more things like that, even if they are not 'green' tech.
