Out with the Old Woolworth's
Sept 13, 2010 – Demolition has begun on the former Woolworth’s building at 351 Water Street in St. John’s, Newfoundland, making way for a new age in the city’s waterfront development. “Old Woolworth’s” – as it is sometimes affably called – housed the first escalator ever built in St. John’s.
East Port Properties worked with the City of St. John’s to develop an innovative six-storey, 145,000-square-foot office tower above prime retail and commercial space and a 446-car parkade. This building will be the first new office tower in St. John’s in more than 25 years. This stunning new development is aesthetically designed to carry on the longstanding heritage of the St. John’s Water Street charm for years to come.
