Not sure if this was posted here yet. Jut had a quick look through the governments most recent Inventory for major capital projects. A couple that stood out that are listed to start this year. Tiffany towers and Hilton Garden Inn. Fingers crossed that these actually happen. These would make major impacts on the skyline of the city.
2017/2018 - Manga Hotels Group - construction of a Hilton Garden Inn with 155 guest rooms and 5,000 sq. ft. of conference facilities located at New Gower Street/Springdale Street/ Pleasant Street. (St. John's)
2017/2020 - KMK Capital Inc. - development of "Tiffany Towers", two 16-storey buildings consisting of a total of 240 residential units as well as a three-level underground parking garage. (St. John's)
