When you look at these maps, its interesting to see what businesses were in the city that are no longer in existence.

A lot of the environmental assessment reports refer to these maps to try and determine what previous land uses were in the area to see if any potential land contamination may be from somebody else in the past.

36 Roslyn Road
Location: 36 Roslyn Road
Developer: 6571574 MANITOBA LTD.
Architect: Verne Reimer Architecture
Status: In development
Documents: Rezoning & Variance – November 24, 2025
Media:
Description: A new eight-storey apartment building with 72 units is proposed for the vacant lot at the southwest corner of Roslyn Road and Bryce Street in Winnipeg’s Osborne Village. The modern building will feature Tyndall stone and brick on the outside, a rooftop patio, and a welcoming main entrance at the corner with big floor-to-ceiling windows facing both streets. It will sit right at the sidewalk with no front or corner setbacks (except a small 2-foot step-back on part of Bryce Street), 5 feet from the neighbouring property on the west side, and tight to the back lane.The project includes 21 vehicle parking spaces (six of them accessible) in covered parking on the ground floor, plus a generous 52 secure indoor bike parking spots and a garbage enclosure at the rear southwest corner. While no trees are planned, the landscaping will include 44 shrubs. The development is designed to fit the high-density residential vision for Osborne Village and the city’s “Complete Communities” guidelines for mature neighbourhoods.

I think that'll add some great density to that corner. Would have loved to see a little CRU for a bodega-style shop or something but circle K and safeway are close enough I guess. My condo board is pushing us to oppose this building because the lack of front yard and parking spaces lol.

Complaints about parking are expected, but a lack of a front yard? Like how does that even matter in a dense urban neighbourhood. The Rossmore is only a few buildings over that it hasn't had a front yard for the past 100 years.

Is it pulse? I remember hearing that the condo board there did not want to see 350 River proceed.

If it was Pulse that would seem ironic in that Verne Reimer is the architect behind the proposed building and also designed Pulse as well as have their offices on the main floor of the Pulse.

I would imagine it's 71 Roslyn Rd across the street.

Pulse was designed by Prairie.

...Ah, yes, right you are. Memory gets foggy as I age.


I broke my own rule that I try to verify something I post online before I post it.

[trueviking]

^ its a fun fact that it was actually designed by Peter Sampson now of Public City fame....in his brief stint at Prairie.

It's still one of my favourite multi-family building in the city.

It looks like this project was approved but with a couple major conditions. First, the required Lot Area Per Dwelling was increased from 125 sq ft to 200 sq ft (which I believe will mean fewer residential units) as well as increasing the number of required parking stalls from 21 to 43. Not sure how this will effect the project going forward.

Wait it's 25 units and they're requiring FORTY THREE 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 parking stalls? 1.72/unit?!

Look forward to the project being value engineered to replace the Tyndall with Hardie board so they can afford to focus on the priority of ensuring as much space as possible is taken up by parking

[Biff]

The project is 72 units

[trueviking]

how in the hell are they supposed to add 23 more parking stalls?!

I will never understand why we care about density calculations. If it fits within the box, why does it matter how many homes there are?

Like at the end of the day, if they can rent these units out without parking spaces, who gives a 🞵🞵🞵🞵

If every building "needs" a certain amount of parking in order to rent units, developers will build parking.
