In this month’s project update series, we shift our focus on an ever-growing part of our tri-city. Dieppe, a community known for its numerous quieter suburban residential subdivisions, has seen quite a few key projects going up as of late in its “downtown” core. The Windgate by Wyndham hotel, extensive work and promotion of its Hotel de Ville area, the state-of-the-art Uniplex multi-function facility, and for almost a year now, luxurious building development just a few minutes from le Marché de Dieppe by Triquest Investments.
Promenade Neuf is a massive, seven-story 75 unit high-end apartment building that will offer 60 indoor heated parking spots (a full underground floor + ½ of the main floor), 12,000sq. ft. of retail space on the main floor with a street-side storefront, bike storage, and a completely equipped wash bay for vehicles. The complete building is almost 170,000sq. ft. and offers future tenants a variety of signature amenities and great options for turnkey apartments units. Fob access to the building with 24/7 CCTV security monitoring, multi-sized package lockers for deliveries, and a full-access fitness centre are just a few of the many amenities offered for the future residents of Promenade Neuf.
Working alongside project managers at Amico Construction, our team lead Mark Griffin has been at the site for a little over a year now overseeing the project and coordinating a team that has now grown to a crew of 12 electricians. The structure, being fully concrete is one of few in our city. This robust structure is unique as it sits on two-way freestanding concrete slabs supported by several concrete columns and is a non-combustible construction. These structures are very durable and have proven to stand up to the elements it will face.
With about 3 ½ weeks left of rough-in, Mark and his team have completed quite a few major components of this project
5 first floors are completely roughed in and ready for insulation & drywall.
The model suite is completed and ready for showings.
The main floor and underground parking spaces are piped and their wires are all pulled.
Electrical distribution has started and all main feeders are pulled including the installation of 3x large 600v transformers and their backup generator unit.
Looking into the next few months, our on-site team will be completing the rough-in work, it’s main distribution, fire alarm and emergency lighting system, decorative lighting installation and of course, completing all of the necessary final touches in each suite such as outlets, switches, thermostats and decorative device plates.
We also had a chance to chat with project manager Evan Fitzsimmons who highlighted a few unique pieces of this project. The building will be suited with a standalone ducted mini-split, smart Nest thermostats and 6x USB outlets in every suite. These are just a couple of the main attributes making these units unique. With units ranging from 1,227sq. ft. to 1,890 sq. ft., there has been absolutely no “corner-cutting” with this development. Detailed interior design and modern styling will be found all throughout the building and suites.
With an expected substantial completion date for apartments being February 2021, future residents will be amazed by the fact that Triquest has not skimped out on any of the finer details when it comes to offering true high-end living spaces. Having seen the model suite and being involved throughout the process of construction, we are extremely excited to see the end result and all the hard work completed by the other trades. Sometimes you forget that this once started on a large flat field and has now grown into an almost complete apartment complex like no other. With some of the upper floors still being roughed in and prepped for drywall, you make your way down the building, we’re now at near completion with drywall, flooring and other final cosmetic touches.
Our favourite part of this location? The views on the top floors are quite possibly the best in the city overseeing the Petitcodiac River and downtown Moncton.
We hope you enjoyed this month’s Project Update, stay tuned for more from Promenade Neuf when it gets closer to its completion and be sure to keep checking in on our online pages or Triquest’s pages for more up-to-date development updates on this project. You’ll be treated to great drone shots, milestones, and other cool posts about the fast-evolving construction of Promenade Neuf.
