City Gives Green Light To East End Water Street Condos May 13, 2008

A major residential development for downtown St.John's has been given the green light. Council has given the okay to six residential condominium buildings to be located on the former Standard Manufacturing site on Water Street East. Each building will have eight units for the total of 48 and there will be one level of indoor parking.

Councilor Frank Galgay says the proposed development is a good one for the city. Galgay says other people's views will not be impacted and both parking and traffic do not seem to be an issue. Councilor Art Puddister suggested that any buyers of the new condominiums be informed of the noise levels from the harbour. Puddister says no by-laws will be changed to reduce the noise.
