[Moncton] Station Yards | Dense Urban Neighbourhood | up to 18 storeys | Proposed

[MonctonRad]

We now have enough information regarding the Station Yards that I think a dedicated thread can be justified. In addition, a lot of the basic infrastructure for this development has already been built, and, there is strong involvement in the project by city hall. A single developer (Shannex) is involved, owns all the land, and is eager to begin. While the Vision Lands remains largely aspirational, the Station Yards is on a much more firm course for short term development. A project thread is therefore warranted.

Main Points

- 80 acres of land north of the Pinehurst neighbourhood, immediately behind the Northwest Centre, close to NBCC Moncton, and bordered by Wheeler Blvd.
- Multiple mid to high rise buildings maxing out at 18 storeys, with a low rise neighbourhood component to the south consisting of townhomes bordering the adjacent Pinehurst neighbourhood.
- Up to about 4,800 residential units total.
- A community recreational centre is planned by the city of Moncton to service this neighbourhood, very similar in size to the Kay/Crossman Centre in the Lewisville neighbourhood.
- A new overpass over Wheeler Blvd is contemplated between the two stubs or Ryan Street, but only for walking and active transportation.

Later on tonight or tomorrow I will repost some of the existing discussions in other threads regarding the Station Yards. All future discussions regarding the Station Yards should be posted here.
