Moncton’s heritage board offered initial support to a proposal to rebuild the crumbling Subway Block.
Consultants for Seville Property Group Ltd. presented the proposal to the board Thursday for the three-storey Main Street building that’s been vacant for more than 15 years.
The City of Moncton issued a notice in October 2025 requiring it to be fixed and occupied, or demolished.
The plan calls for immediate work to stabilize the structure once used for retail and office space. The next steps would be to remove the third floor, move a rear wall away from the adjacent railroad, and preserve some features.
“The building is in rough shape,” consultant Bill Whalen said.
