Sorry
Stephan, aside from a couple of high profile retail projects (Cabela's, BPS), a couple of additions to the Mapleton Centre (DSW, Party City) and the new Sports Chek at the Northwest Centre, this is otherwise a slow year retail wise in the city.
In particular, things are slow at Champlain Place. We've become used to seeing any vacancies in the mall quickly filled up by increasingly upscale retailers. This doesn't seem to be happening any more. I presume the national retailers are taking note of the province's increasingly weak economy and are taking a pass on NB (for now).
In any event, the retail landscape in Moncton still seems a lot healthier than eldewhere in the province. Hopefully things will pick up next year........
