Actually, this is not a student residence per se. It is a mixture of affordable and more upscale apartments that *could be* rented by students (or other low income persons). The development will be managed by the UW Community Renewal Corporation. Not a true student residence like McFeetors on Langside.

"It will include one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Forty-six will be earmarked for low-income Manitobans -- mainly students with families -- with 32 of them offered on a rent-geared-to-income basis.
The other 56 units will be offered at market rents, with 16 of them designed as premium units."
