Abbey St. Andrew

The Church of St. Andrew St. David met with its surrounding community that surrounds the church on Horsefield, Germain, Charlotte and Duke Streets.

From what was presented it appears that the church wants to built a building that will have around 90 apartments and more than 90 parking spaces. The majority of the housing will be for NB Housing's list of low-income earners who qualify for subsidized housing. Still, the building is expected to house around 35 "market rent" units. The market rent units will include townhouses on Charlotte and Duke Streets.

The committee that presented tonight brought up that they are being guided by city officials to ensure the project fits zoning and heritage development standards.

The project as presented includes up to 5 storeys in height, though the fifth storey is supposed to be set back in such a way that it is not visible from street levels.
