Saint John Common Council has officially approved the Landmark building, a 180-unit apartment complex overlooking Tin Can Beach.
The city has rezoned the lot allowing high-rise construction, after the developer agreed to pay $160,000 in improvements to nearby facilities.
$130,000 of those funds will go toward improvements at Rainbow Park on Sydney Street.
Of the remaining funds, $10,000 is for construction of a bus shelter on Broad Street, and $20,000 is earmarked for Tin Can Beach beautification.
Council documents show the priorities for the Rainbow Park funds include: an updated master plan, repairs to the basketball court, enhanced landscaping, and funding for an outdoor ice surface.
