Location: Naawi-Oodena, situated at the intersection of Kenaston Boulevard and Taylor Avenue
Developer: Treaty One Development Corporation
Architects: Number TEN Architectural Group [Building] | HTFC Planning & Design [Courtyard]
Status: U/C
Media: Ottawa contributes $91M to 10-storey Naawi-Oodena apartment block–Winnipeg Free Press
Documents: Canada announces funding for Treaty One Nations to build 260 homes on Naawi-Oodena
Description: A significant milestone in Winnipeg's urban development occurred with the federal government's announcement of a $91 million contribution to the Endayaan Omaa ("Home is Here" in Anishinaabemowin) project, a nine-storey apartment building under construction at the Naawi-Oodena site—the former Kapyong Barracks lands in southwest Winnipeg, now Canada's largest urban reserve led by the Treaty One Nations consortium. This First Nations-led initiative will deliver 260 housing units, including 109 at below-market affordable rents, targeting families, students, and the broader community. Designed with cultural elements like a central courtyard evoking forest connections and Indigenous-inspired cladding, the project began construction in July and is slated for completion in 2027 or 2028.

Is this the site U/C on Taylor South of Kenaston?

[Unbending]

Very nice.

The tiers are interesting, and it looks like there will be a glass atrium as well? I'm looking forward to seeing mother renders as they come out.

No atrium, its a U-shaped building with a courtyard. The glass box is an amenity room on the ninth floor.

North side of Taylor, west of Kenaston. Situated about halfway between Kenaston and the existing development on the west side of the site.

[Sheepish]

So this is the lost currently U/C on Taylor just West of Kenaston?
That's got a lot of mass to it.

[trueviking]

its huge.

Is the green an ode to the past military use in any way? or the opposite of green = nature? Or is it green just because? lol

This settles it. Number TEN is just trolling structural engineers with their designs now.

I wanted it flipped upside down so the steps were cantilevers!

I like it! It reminds me somewhat of the The Graduate Hotel at University of Minnesota.

To be fair, if you flip it either side, they're still steps.

I'll see myself out.
