Retail on that strip is hard (low foot traffic despite density and the challenges of the area in terms of theft and safety). Restaurants are hard everywhere (and there's at least 2 or 3 places on the strip currently for sale - the korean hotdog place, spicy grill, and, from what I've heard, Carlos and Murphys).

Yeah that's possible.

Work is still ongoing at 350 River Ave. This project is really taking awhile.

They did a full reconstruction of that lot just this fall. I think they're coming back to pave it this spring. Big bucks for a poorly used lot.

I do not understand the economics at all because the lot is almost always 80%+ empty. Some of the spots are leased to Vitahealth; maybe they'll create similar arrangements for the new Harth restaurant or the Dollar Tree?

135 Roslyn Rd
Location: 135 Roslyn Rd
Neighbourhood: Roslyn - Fort Rouge - East Fort Garry Ward (City Centre Community Committee)
Developer: a2a Homes Limited
Architect: Affinity Architecture Inc
Status: In development
Documents: Variance - April 30, 2025
Media:
Description: The development at 135 Roslyn Road is a proposed six-storey, 28-unit multi-family building designed to increase residential density in Winnipeg’s Osborne Village. A key feature of the project is its commitment to social equity, providing 14 affordable housing units (50% of the total) through the City’s Density Bonus Pilot Program. Due to the site's narrow 50-foot width, the project was granted several zoning variances for reduced setbacks and parking, providing 7 underground spaces instead of 16. To mitigate this reduction, the developer has integrated a dedicated car share stall and 14 secure bike spaces, aligning with the neighborhood's transit-oriented character. While the project requires the removal of two mature trees, they will be replaced by a total of four trees and 26 shrubs. The city has approved the plan for its strong alignment with OurWinnipeg 2045 policies and its contribution to urban infill.

Amazing! This will definitely put pressure on the Shell gas station to be redeveloped. Also love to see how viable it would be to build towers on top of all the Evergreen towers parking.

Really nice 6 storey for 414 Gertrude out for trade pricing.

Nice! It grew a floor from the initial proposal, good to see.

It looks like the buildings were Better Than Nature and Brickhouse Gym are will be demolished and replace with a 5-story mixed-use building. The new building will have 32 residential units and 2 commercial units.

Well...it could look really good. Or it could look like dog shit. All depends on the materials in this case.

trueviking · #**5036** Posted **May 15, 2026, 4:20 AM**

That part of Osborne village is the next frontier. I always think that the paint factory will one day be housing.

Mr Tall Forehead · #**5037** Posted **May 15, 2026, 4:39 AM**

I think so as well. Didn’t the warehousing stuff across the lane and next to the paint warehouse recently get sold?

Where’s my Wpg_Guy bat symbol…?

zalf · #**5038** Posted **May 15, 2026, 5:25 AM**

I love it when a city has some "depth" in its commercial areas, rather than a single wall along a street.

Yes 383 McMillan Avenue & 201 Scott St were sold last year.

Like Lilac st in Corydon village--it's always been my favourite part of that strip.

It's definitely great to see the southern part of the Osborne strip getting all this new development. And I'm glad these buildings on the cross streets are committing to having CRUs on the main floor. Even if they take a while to fill up, in the end it will be worth it for the urban character of the neighbourhood.
