It should also be noted that high rise isn’t the only way to achieve high density. The new project on Osborne is an example. A 15 storey building tested for the site only had ten more units than the six storey that is going to be built. Six storey buildings can provide very high density and greater affordability. Like it or not, the economics of Winnipeg is 4-6 storey multi-family. Not high rise. We should be encouraging this kind of development as much as possible. It creates dense and high quality neighbourhoods.
