[Moncton] FiveFive Queen | 29.5m | 8 fl | Completed
After some personal reflection, I have decided that FiveFive Queen is a substantial project which, since it is now confirmed, deserves it's own thread.

You beat me to it, but exciting, I'm sure there will be lots of debate on the project and talk! It will help that it's starting in the fall, gives us something to talk about in the winter

I think the next Moncton project that will be getting it's own thread will be the Juncton (Tannery) Village. It's a major project too. It just needs a bit more confirmation, such as the announcement of the Hilton Garden Inn. |
Now we have 13 active [Moncton] threads. It'll be interesting to see if we can keep all of them from falling off the bottom of the page. :haha:
Of course, if they do fall off, they are easily recoverable........ |

Correction on height: 39.5 metres is elevation (above sea level); grade to main roof slab is shown as 26.5 metres. Once you add the extended penthouses and what appears to be mechanical/maintenance space, you're around 29 metres.
A couple of things to note about this: 1. Though I may be mistaken, I recall reading somewhere that this building was going to be the second highest in Moncton (after Assomption). If height stats on this site are accurate, then it doesn't even crack the top 10. 2. Height is comparable to the events centre (26.65 metres). In any case, I still think it's a bit gaudy and will look dated very quickly, but I'm happy to admit I was wrong about predicting that the project would never see the light of day. It also appears that the plan to rent some units as apartments has been completely abandoned. With a number of units still for sale, I wonder why they wouldn't rent some of them instead. |

Seems to be a great project, i'm wondering if the building will be made of concrete or structural steel!

FiveFive Queen is playing up it's affiliation with Gahan House and the Wesley Hotel in it's new ad campaign to sell the remaining condos.
Apparently, food service and delivery to condo owners will be available from the Gahan House restaurant. It will be like "staying in an upscale hotel, but without leaving home". Actually, getting home after a long and tiring day at work, getting on the phone and placing a food order from the Gahan House (yum) and having it delivered piping hot to your condo 15 minutes later sounds pretty good to me! :) "Room service please"............ |
Amendment of a conditional zoning agreement for FiveFive Queen passed at the Moncton City Council meeting last night.

The construction contract has apparently been awarded to Acadian Construction Ltd. Work to commence this fall.

It sounds like Gahan House has the potential to be quite the destination......... |

Really looking forward to this. Gahan House / PEI Brewing makes some great beer.

Reposted from the [Moncton] Downtown thread. :)
Some concern was being expressed that there are still no shovels in the ground for this project. Apparently, the delay is due to design modifications for the building. Quote:

Unfortunately, that's all I have.

From September 30: FiveFive Queen announces that a notice has been given to parking clients to vacate lot for start of construction https://www.facebook.com/FiveFiveMoncton/ |
