Moncton building permits reach $56M in first quarter
City says building permits for first quarter of 2024 are double that of last year
Author of the article:Brunswick News

The first quarter is usually the quietest time of the year for building permits, so this may auger well for the remainder of the year.

The most interesting project named in the article was for a "$14.7-million warehouse construction by Greystone Energy Systems on Desbrisay Avenue." They are busy prepping a large lot in the MID West Industrial Park right now, so this must be what it is for.

Glad to hear especially since it felt so quiet relative to all the Saint John updates (i.e., Fundy Quay and NB musée)

The Moncton equivalent to these two particular projects are Ashford/Downing and the new ASEC. They are finally digging at the ASEC, but, Ashford/Downing remains deadly quiet.........

I believe the issue with the Ashford project(s) is the underground services. If I'm not mistaken, they're going to start the work on the Assomption land this year. It's given Ashford a lot of time to prepare, so let's hope that they start phase one next year.

Meanwhile they keep busy constructing new apartment buildings.

Here's the CBC story from last year: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-b...is%20installed.

Oh that’s understandable. It more the lack of designs etc. being shared.

Anytime you are dependent on multiple levels of government doing something before a project can take place things move with glacial slowness.

Just look at the history of Fundy Quay in Saint John......"in the works"and talked about by governments for over a decade.

Even the redesign of Loyalist Plaza and the Market Square boardwalk. What private enterprise could have done in a season the city will have taken 2 full years and part of a third to accomplish.

Until you have dealt with them it's hard to fathom just how slow governments can move

That CBC story said that Ashford might release information this spring -2024.

Quote: "Ashford has not yet announced its plans for the area, though Dixon told reporters its first phase will include a mixed-use building near Downing Street. He said a formal announcement could take place this spring."

Again, I'm really hoping for an inspiring project - a real game changer.

Thanks for the info...whoa they are taking out the full Basketball Court...I know a ton of people that aren't going to like that! That court is used, a lot (I live nearby there and pass it often).

"Multi-sport Court" so tennis and pickle ball I'm assuming...all the tennis peeps that use this court aren't going to be happy about the impending invasion of picklers. Looks like they are turning the court too from North/South to East/West.

I do like the addition of all the trees, and the re-routing of the pass through path, although the trees could make seeing walkers more difficult.

Definitely interesting changes.

I had added an image but it was WAY too big for here, lol

I live nearby as well, I think it's a HUGE mistake to downsize the basketball court and tennis in favor of picketball. I know picketball is trendy with the boomer generation at the moment, but they're essentially kicking out all the youth out of the park. When I completed the survey I suggested they double the basketball court and add a mini soccer field(fenced in) like you see in most major cities.

I also live nearby to that park, and being a teenager myself I would often play basketball with other neighbourhood youths at this court during the summer or on weekends. For 5 years I was always hoping they'd fix the court ( uneven asphalt and crooked hoops ) so we could enjoy basketball there more..... but no
The city decided to REMOVE the basketball court entirely ( only one hoop isn't a court for me ). We used to have loads of fun there, playing huge games with teams of 10 vs 10 and what I envision now with this new plan for the park is it just becoming overrun by drug users. what a sad day for me and the other basketball enthusiasts in the neighbourhood ( quite many of us ).
