I know it is not related to this thread but I am sure you know Corner Brook is not as big as St. John's.
The only things I have been reading about is several resort developments in the CB/Bay of Islands/Humber Valley areas, but I could try to check into it. I think there is one (townhouses or similar) supposed to be going on Bannisters Rd on the east side overlooking the arm. I didn't know about Reid's Rd, do you have any info or links for it?

Here is a link I found about some development but I think it is resort oriented:

Here's an article about Bannisters Road:
Title: Residents worry development will spoil neighbourhood green space
Threatened view?
Quote:
A proposal to develop a green space on Bannister’s Road is not sitting well with neighbours who live there. They want the area to be left open for the enjoyment of local residents and visitors who flock there for the spectacular view.

In last Saturday’s edition of The Western Star, the City of Corner Brook advertised that a proponent, named as Bayview Estates Inc., has requested permission to develop 53 residential units in the area between Bannister’s Road and Humber Road, including Old Humber Road.

Part of the plan is to construct five double dwellings on Bannister’s Road as the first phase of a five-phase project.

Other developments will include a new City Hall at Corner Brook, a new hotel at Deer lake, and a new hospital is also in the works at Corner Brook.

The Corner Brook city hall renderings can be found here, although it will probably change:

It came as no surprise to me, to read in Monday’s paper that the new city hall in Corner Brook will not contain a new space for the Corner Brook City Library.

Ironically, the library currently located in the Sir Richard Squires Building is called the Corner Brook City Library
