The Government of Canada announced that the Government of Canada has awarded a $121.6-million contract (HST included) to Pomerleau Inc, for construction of a new federal building to accommodate Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) employees in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
This new Crown-owned facility, located at 80 Kelsey Drive in St, John’s, will feature modern, accessible, purpose-built space to support the CRA’s workforce and program delivery in the region.
In line with the Buy Canadian Policy, the contract includes requirements to prioritize Canadian suppliers and materials throughout the project. It will create work opportunities for local trades, which will sustain good-paying careers.
Construction will begin this summer, and is expected to be completed in 2029.
“A new federal building here in St. John’s means good work for local trades, and a modern space for public servants to provide leading service to people in this province. This is the kind of investment that keeps good jobs, and good people, in Newfoundland and Labrador and builds strong communities,” said Joanne Thompson, Minister of Fisheries and MP for St. John’s East.
The design contract for this new building, valued at approximately $8.8 million, was awarded to Moriyama & Teshima Architects on November 30, 2023.
