The latest numbers from Canada Mortgage and Housing show 14-new units - mostly multi-residential - breaking ground in the first two months of this year - that's compared to just 9-units underway in the same period last year.
The federal housing agency says new home starts in Moncton and Fredericton are down so far this year with a significant drop in the Hub City being blamed on a slow down in construction of multi-residential units for the rental market.
