Founded in 1997 by the late Anne Stephen, Danceability has long been a cornerstone of the local dance community. Anne’s love for dance was truly contagious. She mentored countless dancers and teachers and created an environment where everyone felt special, heard, and appreciated. Her legacy continues through her daughter, Heather Allen, who now leads the studio as Director.

“This is a new and fresh chapter for Danceability,” said Heather. “Navigating the renovation process of our new studio while operating our current location on Rothesay Avenue has been overwhelming at times, but it will all be worth it in the end. This new space is bright, modern, and designed to serve our dancers and their families well into the future. I can’t wait to open the doors to the new studio and anticipate it to be ready December 1st.”

The Landlord, Consumer Centres, purchased Loch Lomond Place in early 2025. As part of their acquisition announcement, they shared that the property represented a tremendous opportunity for revitalization and redevelopment in a growing market and that they had plans in motion to enhance its appeal and reposition it as a modern retail destination.

Stephanie Turner and Brock Turner of Cushman & Wakefield Atlantic provided Tenant Representation Services to Danceability.

PLATO’S CLOSET NOW OPEN IN EAST SJ

47A Consumers Drive, Saint John, New Brunswick

We are thrilled to have assisted Plato’s Closet in securing a retail location in East Saint John. The store was opened by franchisee Sharon Branch, who also operates Once Upon a Child in Saint John. Both brands are part of the same franchise family. The new store had a successful grand opening last weekend. 

“Opening Plato’s Closet was a natural next step for me. Many of my loyal Once Upon a Child customers have aged out of those sizes, and Plato’s Closet allows me to continue serving them by offering gently used, name-brand clothing for tweens, teens, and young adults.” said Ms. Branch.

The new Plato’s Closet is conveniently located at the corner of Westmorland Road and Consumer Drive, next to Shoppers Drug Mart.

By introducing unique and non-traditional retail experiences to the mall, Ravelin is not only responding to evolving consumer preferences but also positioning Brunswick Square as a vibrant, modern destination that appeals to a broader demographic.

Exciting changes to the iconic Saint John City Market

The Saint John City Market is the heartbeat of uptown, where stories are shared and where the hum of daily life harmonizes with the clatter of vendors and tourist.

The market’s perimeter is home to an impressive array of food vendors, each adding flavor to the fabric of the community. From the savory spices of the Middle East to fresh sushi, hearty Korean fare, succulent seafood, piping-hot soups, gourmet sandwiches and the comforting scent of baked goods — the market celebrates culinary diversity. For home chefs, the market is a treasure trove. The expanded grocery section, along with the fresh produce stalls, trusted fish monger, and skilled butcher, offer everything needed to craft a meal from scratch.


Though the market’s bones remain lovingly preserved — a testament to its storied past — a new energy is stirring within. Exciting changes are coming soon, bringing a fresh experience.

Some of the market’s long-standing tenants will soon be relocating within, while others are expanding their offerings.

The iconic “Hooper Clock” will soon take its place in the center of the market

new layout is being introduced to improve flow and comfort with the market moving from a 3 aisle layout to a 2 aisle layout resulting in 1 row of new lower profile stalls down the center. This thoughtful reconfiguration will not only enhance circulation but also make room for a new seating area that will double as a stage for performances and events. The space is being designed with flexibility in mind, allowing it to adapt seamlessly to a variety of uses — from daily commerce to evening concerts, pop-up events, and cultural showcases.
