Yeah I was just about to delete that email as it is just MERX wanting me to buy access to the private sector tenders. But then I saw 2000+ units and I had to look into it further!
Two sites, with two buildings each, of the planned 14 multifamily residential are well underway in construction. I know one site is already doing leasing and I think the second is as well. Also Westport is the site of the "Headingly" Costco that predates the pandemic even though the site itself is within the boundaries of Winnipeg. If we go far enough back it was being planned as a site for Target and Lowes but obviously neither of those quite panned out as originally planned.
On another note, anyone know who is moving into the main floor of 200 Main (former Scotiabank Building)? Looks like there is a fair bit of work happening in there. I know there was some discussion about 200 Main a while back but I can't remember who ended up taking that space...
I believe Grant Thornton is also moving there from the tuxedo business park.
it reminds me of central Oslo ...in suburban winnipeg.
Hey, those buildings are my dream for South Main along the tracks from William Stephenson to the train station.

IIRC, we saw this one come through a while ago. The new 8 storey building at St. James and St. Matthews, and the suburban nature of the site layout. Well looks like it's being approved.
