I know it's a few posts late, but back to Spielo... They moved their manufacturing facility from Quebec into the Moncton headquarters over the summer. That brought quite a few new jobs to Moncton. It's cheaper for Spielo/GTech and it's great for Moncton. I'm sure there's over 400 employees working there now.

Don't forget that IGT Canada (former Hi-Tech Gaming) is located in the Moncton Industrial Park on Henri-Dunant St. IGT is based out of Las Vegas and is one of the largest game manufacturers in the world. Hi-Tech was the largest provider in Canada and was started in Moncton, they then were bought by their largest supplier (IGT) and became IGT Canada, they have 5 offices across Canada and the HQ is in Moncton.

Those shots are awesome man!

Glad you put the one of 777...I'm really impressed by the look...I liked the building before, now I love it

Hampton Inn is coming along great, and BMW is HUGE! I didnt think it was that big.

mylesmalley · #**1066** Posted **Dec 12, 2007, 11:14 PM**

How big/tall will the Hampton Inn be?

4 stories Im guessing...not sure though, that just seems to be the norm.

mylesmalley · #**1069** Posted **Dec 12, 2007, 11:22 PM**

Ahh, cool. Well, better than nothing. It surprises me just how tall 777 Main is. I just wish they'd put something on that 8 story solid brick wall.

Sigh... as a business student, I can think of a thousand and one things to do with a giant wall like that. Seems like such a waste. Hell, even a nice mural would be good.

Yeah! A nice mural would do great there...heck even Super Store knows a big empty wall is prime space for a mural...why cant we do the same thing?!

Where is BMW going? I didn't hear about a beemer dealer coming?

mylesmalley · #**1076** Posted **Dec 13, 2007, 2:49 PM**

It's right near the airport, along route 15.

I thought that that was Mazda!? Isn't Mazda moving from Morton Ave. out to there?

mylesmalley · #**1078** Posted **Dec 13, 2007, 9:13 PM**

I think they both are, actually. I drove by there this afternoon, and it appears there are two construction sites.

Really? thats cool...I didnt even know Mazda was moving. Seems like every dealership in Moncton is either renovating or building new lately.

JasonL-Moncton · #**1080** Posted **Dec 14, 2007, 1:17 PM**

I suspect that when Mazda is gone on Morton you will see the Chrysler dealer beside it expand and take over their space.
