Saint John's
Brunswick Square remains the
co-tallest building in New Brunswick. It is the largest office building in New Brunswick by floor space... and also the building with the most
empty office space in the province.
the CEO of Ravelin, Shant Poladian, is upset that Brunswick Square office tower and mall is sitting more than half empty, and his firm has even looked at the possibility of residential conversion:
I'd say Ravelin should seriously look at approaching the city, province, Build Canada Homes, and other investors, with a plan for residential conversion for Brunswick Square.
Brunswick Square is the most prominent building in Saint John, in the heart of our Uptown, and it truly deserves a new chapter, and I think a new name... How about
New Brunswick Square?
The opportunity to redevelop this office tower, or even build it up another 10+ stories (as it was designed for) is a unique opportunity at a time where we have a Prime Minister who literally never shuts up about, "building big, building bold, and building now".
Our MP, Wayne Long got some financing together for the Fundy Quay, and 99 King, surely he could also get some financing for a major residential redevelopment of the tallest, and largest office building in the province, right here in the centre of the Port City.
... If it was up to you, how would Brunswick Square be redeveloped?
