McMillan House marches on
Buyer interest strong for unique condo complex ready to break ground
By: Ryan Thorpe Posted: 02/5/2018

After a battle with a city community committee, a local development company is set to break ground on a new luxury condominium complex in Crescentwood next month.

The building is a 12-unit, four-storey, high-end complex, set to go up on vacant property at the corner of Harrow Street and McMillan Avenue.

Breaking ground on the project was more difficult than expected for Winnipeg’s Ventura Developments.

Despite city planners giving the project their blessing, the infill development was opposed by area councillor, John Orlikow (River Heights — Fort Garry).

In November 2016, a city community committee, of which Orlikow was a member, rejected the proposed project.

Opposition to the plan confused not only Ventura, but also Coun. Janice Lukes and Mike Moore, then-president of the Manitoba Home Builders’ Association — both told the Free Press at the time they were surprised by the decision.

"Our original application was denied, but we appealed the decision through the city’s processes. Council’s decision, which I believe was 11 positive votes for the project, really showed council’s support for infill development," said Tim Comack, Ventura’s vice-president of development.

Now that the project has been given the green light, Comack says interest has been strong, with five units — all of which are customizable — already sold.
