Government Hires Real Estate Broker to Sell Former Janeway Properties
�For Sale� signs will soon be placed in
front of the former Janeway Children�s Hospital in Pleasantville.
The Honourable John Hickey, Minister of Transportation and Works,
announced today that real estate broker Martek Morgan Finch Inc. of St.
John�s has been selected to market the Janeway properties, which include
the former hospital, apartments, hostel and accompanying grounds.
In consultation with the broker, government will determine the most
effective manner in which to advertise and promote these properties for
sale.
�Since the Williams government took office we have been moving forward
with a plan to address the issue of surplus buildings,� said Minister
Hickey. �The former Janeway Hospital site is a significant piece of real
estate and we are hopeful we can find a buyer.�
A comprehensive marketing plan will be developed by Martek Morgan Finch
in the coming weeks, prior to the other properties adjacent to the
former Janeway Hospital becoming available for purchase.
The former Janeway Hospital closed its doors in 2001 and relocated to
its current location, attached to the Health Sciences Centre.
