Saint John Waterfront Development Information

The Saint John Development Corporation (SJDC) was incorporated in July of 1980 and operates as Saint John Waterfront Development (SJWD) to: "Develop, manage, promote, encourage, co-ordinate, assist and advance the commercial, residential, recreational, cultural, social, economic welfare of the City of Saint John within the City Centre District." Over the years, the SJDC has accumulated the expertise, knowledge and sensitivities that developers expect from a partner as they collectively look for solutions to the challenges posed by waterfront development projects. In 2001 the Saint John Development Corporation brought on additional partners to tackle waterfront development head on.This community effort is instrumental in Saint John achieving its potential as a premier waterfront in Canada. Leading the transformation of the Inner Harbour is the Saint John Waterfront Development partnership (SJWD), operating under the direction of the Saint John Development Corporation. The partnership is committed to rejuvenating and renewing the downtown of historic Saint John through development of the waterfront.
