SAINT ANDREWS, NEW BRUNSWICK, NOVEMBER 06, 2026 – Maison Kennedy House, the historic 25-room boutique hotel located at 218 Water Street in Saint Andrews by-the-Sea, is under contract to Vadnagar Hospitality Inc., led by Vinod Soni. The transaction is scheduled to close at the end of November.

The acquisition will add another established hospitality property to the Soni family’s portfolio of boutique hotels throughout Atlantic Canada. The family also owns Saint Andrews Inn & Suites, operated by Vinod’s son, Jaydeep “Jay” Soni, who lives in Saint Andrews with his family.

“We are excited about adding Maison Kennedy House to our portfolio of hospitality properties,” said Vinod Soni. “Long-time guests can expect the same wonderful service and attention to detail they have come to appreciate over the years at The Kennedy. We are committed to maintaining the high standards expected of a property with such a prominent presence on Water Street, while continuing to evolve the business to meet changing guest preferences and tourism demands.”

The property has benefited from significant investment in recent years. In 2023, local developer Dominique Berlenger undertook a comprehensive renovation and modernization of the bar and dining areas, contributing to a substantial improvement in the property’s performance.

“Maison Kennedy House has been a very special project for me, and while it’s bittersweet to be handing it over to new ownership, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and excited to see the Inn move into its next chapter with the Soni family. I’m not leaving Saint Andrews, and I have other projects I’m looking forward to turning my attention to. I also look forward to supporting Vinod and his team through the transition and helping ensure a smooth handover of a property that means so much to this community.” ~ Dominique Berlenger, outgoing owner of Maison Kennedy House

Under the new ownership, the Soni family intends to continue operating the 25-room boutique hotel, along with the bar and games room throughout the winter season. While the restaurant is currently closed for the season, Vinod Soni and his business partners are developing a plan for its future operation.

The anticipated sale represents a new chapter for one of Saint Andrews’ most recognizable heritage hospitality properties, with an ownership group that brings experience operating boutique hotels and a commitment to the continued evolution of the local tourism sector.

The momentum continues to build in the St. Stephen Industrial Park as another major industrial lease transaction reinforces the park’s growing role as a key logistics and manufacturing hub in southwestern New Brunswick.

The 20,424-square-foot warehouse facility located at 55 Progress Drive in St. Stephen, New Brunswick has been leased, marking another positive milestone in the ongoing revitalization and absorption of industrial assets within the park.

The lease represents continued confidence in the St. Stephen Industrial Park, which has seen renewed activity and investment over the last year due to its strategic location near the Canada–U.S. border, Route 1, and key transportation infrastructure.

The property at 55 Progress Drive is owned by Les Entreprise Greentone Inc., a private Quebec-based Canadian licensed producer of high-quality cannabis products that acquired several industrial assets in the park through a receivership process. Since listing the portfolio in early 2025, Greentone, with the assistance of Cushman & Wakefield Atlantic, has been actively repositioning and revitalizing the industrial park through strategic leasing, sales, and marketing initiatives.

In addition to this recent lease transaction, Greentone successfully completed the sale of the 7,500-square-foot warehouse located at 54 Progress Drive to the Town of St. Stephen last year, further contributing to the park’s renewed momentum and long-term stability.

Other recent notable commercial real estate activity in the park include the sale of 52 Progress Drive which was listed with Cushman & Wakefield Atlantic and closed in 2025 and 54 Progress Drive which is currently listed with Partners Global and listed on their website as “under contract”.

Entreprise Greentone continues to market additional industrial opportunities within the park, including:
• 53 Progress Drive — a state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation and processing facility
• 50 Progress Drive — approximately 31 acres of industrial development land

According to Francis Courtois, Project Manager with Les Entreprise Greentone Inc., “We are thrilled to see the continued positive momentum within the industrial park. Each transaction helps strengthen the park’s position as an important employment and industrial centre for the region, and we remain optimistic about future growth opportunities in St. Stephen.”

The St. Stephen Industrial Park is managed through Future St. Stephen and was developed to support industrial growth with infrastructure suited for logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and rail-served operations.

Stephanie Turner of Cushman & Wakefield Atlantic is the exclusive agent representing Les Entreprise Greentone Inc. in the disposition and leasing of industrial assets within the St. Stephen Industrial Park.

As a designated heritage property, the Fairweather Building provides an ideal backdrop for a tenant focused on preserving craftsmanship, storytelling, and historical design.

400 Main Street, Saint John, NB “Place 400”

A major expansion is underway for First City School of Dance after the business owner signed a lease for approximately 5,500 square feet at 400 Main Street in Saint John, NB

The new space represents a significant milestone for the growing dance school, allowing the business to expand from a single studio to three dedicated dance studios designed to accommodate classes for both children and adults. The larger footprint will also allow First City School of Dance to broaden its programming and continue fostering a welcoming, non-competitive environment that embraces a variety of dance styles and skill levels.

Owner Marcia Dysart said classes will continue at the current uptown location on Union Street throughout the summer, with plans to officially open the new Place 400 location in early September ahead of the fall dance season. Her second KV dance studio will be unaffected. 

The expansion reflects a broader shift occurring across the Canadian commercial leasing market, where experiential, wellness, fitness and service-oriented tenants are outperforming many traditional retail categories. Industry reports from major commercial real estate firms including Cushman & Wakefield Canada point to continued demand for tenants that drive customer engagement, community activity and recurring in-person visits.

Service-based businesses, particularly fitness, wellness, entertainment and personal services, are increasingly becoming key drivers of retail leasing activity across North America. From personal experience, I can say that these sectors are continuing to gain momentum as landlords look for tenants that create destination traffic and experiences that cannot be replicated online.

Stephanie Turner of Cushman & Wakefield Atlantic represented First City School of Dance in the transaction.
