May offered ideal conditions for construction in Dieppe
DIEPPE, N.B. — During the month of May, 96 building permits were issued in Dieppe for a total of $9,462,142. The 12 permits issued in the commercial sector represented investments of $785,800, while the 84 residential building permits issued were valued at $8,676,342.
Major projects in May included:
Immeubles Vision Realty $2,197,400
Immeubles Perfection Realty $1,963,370
Tridev Corporation $1,007,700
Maisons Metropolitain Homes $777,210
Cadillac Fairview $529,000
“There is strong demand in the residential sector for both multifamily and single-family units,” said Pierre Dupuis, general manager of the Economic Development Corporation of the City of Dieppe. “In fact, permits issued for multifamily units represented half of the total number of permits issued in May. One of the Immeubles Vision Realty projects planned for Sunset Street that envisions commercial use on the ground floor and residential use on upper levels is a perfect example. Projects such as this are very much encouraged in order to achieve densification of Dieppe’s downtown area. This project fits well with our vision to be able to live, work and benefit from a vibrant and dynamic downtown.”
City of Dieppe mayor Yvon Lapierre is very pleased with these good results. “Sustained demand in both multifamily and single-family units is excellent news that confirms that Dieppe offers a community and social climate where people want to settle with their families.”
Since the beginning of 2012, 251 building permits have been issued for a total value of $27,132,903. Warm weather in recent months has definitely helped builders experience a good start to the construction season.
