Love the aerial views because you can see that they are already starting the foundation work. Between that and the crane after this many years of waiting this has been a big week for the museum!
Jorge Enrique is one of the best assets Saint John has... dude show's off the unique geography and built environment of this city and region better than anyone.
As for the museum project, I'm curious if the rooftop will be considered level 4 or level 5? Based on the back view of the museum from the previous post, i count 4 floors above ground, which would make the roof level 5.

This shot really shows how incredible the view will be from the rooftop of the museum, and how great of an idea it was to incorporate a rooftop patrio.
I've always felt that Saint John sorely lacks restaurants and bars with rooftop patios, especially when Uptown is full of so many flat roofed buildings with tremendous views.
The new, New Brunswick Museum will soon be the most interesting rooftop location with some of the best views in the whole province.

Just watched this video on Saint John’s old Customs House. I knew the NB Museum had some pieces of the Custom’s House, but I wasn’t aware they have plans to display some of these pieces when the museum reopens.

Reposting these screengrabs from the North End thread. This is going to be quite the construction project, and easily the most exciting project I've seen started in Saint John since I've moved here.
Based on the renders and these images (pay attention to the rear view of the building), should the thread title be upgraded to 4 or 5 storeys?
From the rear, I'm counting 5 storeys (including what will be the rooftop terrace), but from the side view, I'm only counting 3 storeys, which would make the rooftop terrace level 4.
