INVEST
Welcome to a place of possibilities.
Our region is growing, and there’s never been a better time to invest. Global companies make their corporate homes right here, and demand for skilled workers is increasing. New Brunswick is experiencing record immigration growth. Lower housing costs, safe communities, and great career opportunities in a beautiful area are all making our east coast lifestyle increasingly attractive.
More people means expanding demand for housing and the services to support them. It’s the perfect environment for developers, or entrepreneurs.
Whatever your business, Synergi is here to support you. We’ll help you find suitable property, identify potential business investments and potential funding. We can fast-track your project with our knowledge of local industrial, residential, and commercial land requirements, zoning, tax policies, or licensing.
Our municipalities are home to world-class industry-leaders like
Cooke Aquaculture, NB Southern Railway, and the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station who have chosen to locate here, for good reasons:
Global Reach
Our region is strategically positioned on the Bay of Fundy, close to three international airports (Saint John, Fredericton, and Bangor ME) and to the Port of Saint John, Atlantic Canada’s largest port by volume. Port Saint John is served by rail connections into Central Canada, the US East Coast and mid-West. The deep-water Port of Bayside is less than 30 minutes away and is connected by major highways to the rest of Canada and the Eastern US.
Close to Decision Makers
Networking is easy when the decision-makers live right here in our communities. They’re business leaders with international experience and a growth mindset.
Exceptional Quality of Life
Our crime rates are low, our neighbourhoods are friendly, our housing costs reasonable. It’s Maritime living at its best, with breathtaking sunsets and ocean views, hiking trails and endless beaches. A great place to live, do business, and attract potential employees.
Power of Innovation
The Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station, located in the Rural Community of Fundy Shores, is the only nuclear generating station in Atlantic Canada and East of Ontario. Our area has attracted a cluster of nuclear research companies, such as Moltex Energy and ARC Clean Technology, who are working on cutting-edge technology to deliver clean energy.
Poised for Growth
Our main industries are expanding and will continue to dominate the New Brunswick economy for decades. Current metrics show these positive trends: An increasing resident base with an influx of younger families, increasing employment rates and decreasing unemployment numbers. Synergi, municipal and business leaders are working together on recruitment efforts to continue to meet the growing demand for workers.
Developer Opportunities
Current trends suggest that our municipalities may require upwards of 575 units to satisfy upcoming new unit demand. There is a need for multi-unit apartment buildings, semi-detached, row, triplex, and fourplex dwellings and senior friendly housing. High-income communities, low-vacancy rates, and affordable property makes our region an ideal place for residential development,
​
Entrepreneurial
Opportunities
The Statistics Canada 2016 Census shows that almost 50 percent of the region’s entrepreneurs are over the age of 55 and heading towards retirement. Many of these businesses are thriving. This creates opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Business Support
Whether you’re a start-up or expanding your business, our communities will get behind you and Synergi will support you. We’ll also connect you to other business supports.
