I like the new courthouse expansion from this angle, located in front of the Cathedral steeple.

For you Saint Johnophiles out there, I just posted a tour of SJ pubs and restaurants in the "pictures of your city" thread.

having lots of old buildings means you can have lots of pubs with tremendous character.

A view of Fredericton from the river. The Beaverbrook hotel is to the left, along with the new Hilton hotel.

What's interesting is the crane and steel framework you can see in the centre of the picture. That is the new Justice Building being constructed downtown, and as you can tell, it's going to have quite the impact on the downtown skyline.

(Thanks OliverD for posting that pic in the Fredericton thread)

The new development is concentrated on formerly industrial lands between Main Street and the river. This has become an ocean of parking, but, this is rapidly changing. Ashford Group owns extensive lands sound of Main Street and is working with the city on a major development, including a revised street grid, underground utilities and a cluster of new buildings ranging from 10-20 storeys in height. Lafford Realty meanwhile has a project called the Three Sisters which will include three 15 storey apartment buildings. The first of these has just been topped off. They are about to start work on the fifth floor of the second building. In addition, Lafford just purchased some adjacent land south of Assumption Blvd (on the actual riverfront) with plans for a fourth tower, purportedly 20 storeys. I know of two other buildings 10-12 storeys in height in pre-development in the central part of the city, with an additional nine storey building as part of the Junction Urban Village (another multi building development at Main/Vaughan Harvey). People in city planning (sworn to secrecy) have hinted at other major projects in the works.

I am not exaggerating when I say downtown Moncton will be unrecognizable in 10 years time.

That's great to hear as Moncton has always had a neat downtown vibe but has always felt a little incomplete. New Brunswick's three main Cities are all great communities taken for granted by the rest of Canada. Saint John has quietly become a very pleasant DT to visit.

We don't see much Fredericton here. In fact that may be the first time I have!
