).

So using Geminiman logic...200 stalls x $120/day x 365 days/year = $8.76 million a year...and in a few years he'll have...

True, but I think TV is being overly conservative. Forks is open 15 hours a day? If a spot is occupied half that time at $2.50 an hour that still over $6k a year. Twice what a monthly rental would get you.

Looking at FNPs balance sheets, they net about $3m in revenue on $6m gross on parking.

There is a tractor on site 16, next to CityTV building, looks as though construction is underway, this is the 5th building to start construction.

Anyone know when we could expect something more than foundation work? Is the Forks holding anything back or why haven't the buildings progressed beyond that point?

FactaNV · #**3165** Posted **Jun 23, 2026, 7:46 PM**

Pretty sure I just drove past an elevator shaft at near the CityTV building.

I'm just as anxious, but I'll leave them the benefit of a doubt with patience.

Maybe it's hard to glean the vertical progress from the image. I haven't been to the forks in a month or two. But overall seems slow, which is on par with this development overall.

Maybe it's more a developer issue, The FRC building is humming along, the other three are the same developer, Burrows, they seem to be slow going, like their 350 River Ave development.

Work continues on restoring the Historic Rail Bridge as crews remove the steel structure that once supported the bridge's concrete counterweight. This marks another important milestone in making the bridge safe for future generations after its closure in 2023.

The Forks Renewal Corporation has submitted an application for approval under the Canadian Navigable Waters Act for bridge repairs with a temporary platform over the Assiniboine River.

📍 Worksite: Historic Rail Bridge, Assiniboine River, 1 Forks Market Road, Winnipeg, MB (49° 53' 8.3" N, 97° 7' 45.31" W)

Lots of activity at site 16 today

That sixth floor balcony thing looks pretty cool. Great amenity for residents.

WinCitySparky · #**3173** Posted **Jul 2, 2026, 12:52 AM**

But I thought balconies were a waste of money and no one ever uses them anyway? /s

But agreed, that's a slick looking rooftop patio

Wpg_Guy · #**3176** Posted **Jul 2, 2026, 3:14 PM**

I think it will be the best looking building among the ten planned for Railside phase 1.

FactaNV · #**3177** Posted **Jul 2, 2026, 6:48 PM**

Now that we're squarely into the build on Ph 1, I think its time to start looking to Ph 2 - have there been any rumblings or publications about what we might expect in Ph 2?

Wpg_Guy · #**3178** Posted **Jul 8, 2026, 8:50 PM**

vertical shaft rising on site 10.

Sheepish · #**3179** Posted **Jul 8, 2026, 9:23 PM**

Looks like site 12 too! Crazy...after all the talk, it is really happening.

As these developments progress, Parcel 4 looks more and more out of place as a big empty gravel lot.

I think this will probably be the most controversial of all. I think this is the location where that old hotel/water park idea was suggested many years ago. What is appropriate across from the CMHR? What is needed? More residential? more parking? More green space? Or something that has't been suggested yet? There's always the archaeological aspect to be considered, as well as any contaminated soil from the railroad eras.

Am I opening up a can of worms here????
