So I recently got news that the apartment building I live in sold.

The listing is still up, but it includes two buildings and two parking lots.

I am not sure the new owners intentions or plans, but the listing does mention that the parking lots are noted as having redevelopment potential.

Here is the brochure: Brochure

"• Rents are significantly below submarket averages.
• Suites can be repositioned to a higher rental standard"

this really feels like "renoviction" as a marketing feature

100%

Yes... the brochure is definitely marketing to a certain kind of investor...

I am very much hoping they don't renovict me... been here 8 years. These buildings have a lot of people from different incomes so it would suck to loose a bunch of these affordable units to some slightly renovated BS.

Similarly we lived in one at 296 Broadway that sold. The new owners brought in Sussex Reality to manage the building. Sussex terminated all the leases and said the owners decided to renovate the building and then jack up the rent by $400.

Looks like 951 Portage Ave was appeal due to perceived lack of parking spaces. Appeal hearing is on November 12.

Whatever happened to the proposal for a new hospital tower at HSC? Is that dead with the government change?

neutroniks · #**875** Posted **Nov 5, 2025, 9:29 PM**

The new Cancer Care wing, or the Dental faculty at the U of M HSC Campus??

bomberjet · #**876** Posted **Nov 5, 2025, 9:35 PM**

It was a big tower (10 storeys maybe, so not super big) to go right at the front entrance. General hospital bed type thing. Announced by the PC's but for some reason I thought it was at least being reviewed by the NDP, and not outright cancelled. I could Google I suppose.

bomberjet · #**877** Posted **Nov 5, 2025, 9:36 PM**

This thing.

Best. Rendering. Ever.

My favourite parts are the guy standing stunned in the middle of the massively wide road and the bus driving on the sidewalk.

If I was an incoming government and saw this rendering I’d probably want to review the project too…

prolly me doing one of my bike ride threw winnipeg threads one day ill do an update getting close to 20yrs since the first thread

So the former NDP Govt with Sellinger was promoting the $800m new Cancer Care building. When Pallister and the PC Govt took over they cancelled the CCMB Building and came up with their own $800m new HSC Bed Tower. When Kinew and the NDP got in they went back to the CCMB tower.

The catch is both are desperately needed, I just think a new government can't bring themselves to roll with a former governments projects.
