New Parkland Communities!

Welcome to Bloomsbury, a Premier Lifestyle Community that inspires social connections and pride of place.

At the heart of the community is the Square; thoughtfully designed to be a gathering place where residents, visitors and neighbours can attend live music, theatre, outdoor markets and other special events.

There will also be a short-term stay residence offering loved ones and visitors requiring accommodations to make the most of their stay in their very own furnished suite.

Community and Building Names
Inspired by the region’s shared history and traditions, along with input from local residents and team members, the name Station Yards pays tribute to the Canadian National (CN) railway and the hub city’s historic role as a connector. Gordon Hall honors Gordon Yard, the formal name of the Moncton Hump Yard and CN’s principal yard visited frequently by long-distance and local trains. Ocean Hall is named after the oldest continuously operated named passenger train in North America. The Ocean, owned by Via Rail, moves commuters between Montreal and Halifax. Future names will also align with Moncton’s great history, and we look forward to sharing more soon.
