The CBRM recently issued a tender for the former Whitney Pier fire station.

The 50 year-old building at 1086 Victoria Rd. is currently used for storage.

The sale of the building comes after a new station opened on Victoria Rd. in April, replacing both the old Whitney Pier station and the former Ashby station that’s since been torn down.

The property is assessed at 74,600 dollars.

Prospective buyers will have a chance to visit the building a week from tomorrow, and the tender is open until 3 pm on August 3^rd.
