The Landmark will include 180 units and will be nine stories high at 300 Sydney Street.
Landmark Developments Ltd. says the building will offer bachelor suites up to three-bedroom units and most units will have views of the Atlantic Ocean.
“What excites us most about the Landmark is that we’re really looking forward to bring more character and vibrancy in [the city centre] and increasing the number of folks who live down there so there is more population supporting all of the amazing amenities, restaurants, bars, museums, and galleries Uptown has to offer,” said a spokesperson for Landmark Developments Ltd.
The units will range in cost, starting at $995 for 800-900 square feet 1 bed, 1 bath units to $1,700 for 1400-1500 square feet units with three bedrooms, two baths, and a den.
The units will have a “modern aesthetic” with the goal of attracting people to live in the city.
“We believe that Saint John is an extraordinary place to live and we are embracing the all-time high migration of newcomers into our province. We want to help more young people stay in this city and we want to see more new people choosing Saint John as their home,” they write on their website.
For current residents of the Sydney Street area, Landmark Developments Ltd. says that they have ensured their views will be minimally impacted. The shadow path of the building will cover the backside of the building over its parking lot. At the same time, the new units will have a clear view of the water.
“Another thing we’re really excited about is that we expect the vast majority of these units to have ocean views,” the spokesperson said, adding that half will have a direct open ocean view, while others will have views of the water from different angles.
The Landmark is currently in the rezoning phase of development and hopes to move forward with construction soon.
“We are excited to bring this opportunity to add to the character and vibrancy of Uptown with this new apartment complex that will support the increasing population and economic prosperity for Saint John,” they wrote in a news release.
