Description: The City of Winnipeg has approved a development permit for a new six-storey mixed-use building at 50 Israel Asper Way, located in the vibrant Railside at The Forks area. This 25,374 square foot project will feature ground-floor commercial space with eight rental units (retail or service-oriented) and 46 multi-family residential units on the upper levels, creating a compact live-work hub that supports urban intensification. The approval marks continued progress in transforming the former surface parking lots along Israel Asper Way, part of the broader 20-year Railside vision, into a pedestrian-friendly mixed-use neighbourhood adjacent to The Forks, blending commercial vitality with new housing options in downtown Winnipeg.

Description: The City of Winnipeg has approved a development permit and a related Conditional Use under Downtown Zoning By-Law No. 100/2004 for a new four-storey mixed-use building at 68 Israel Asper Way in the emerging Railside at The Forks neighbourhood. This compact 8,182 square foot project includes one ground-floor commercial unit featuring a coffee shop (restaurant use, approved despite not being directly accessible from the public sidewalk) and six multi-family residential units on the upper floors. The building incorporates a geothermal heating system for enhanced sustainability. As part of the broader Railside transformation—where construction on Phase 1 recently began in early 2026 to convert former surface parking lots into a pedestrian-oriented mixed-use community adjacent to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights—this smaller-scale approval contributes to the area's growing live-work density, adding modest housing and local amenity space along the revitalized Israel Asper Way promenade. Permits: - 24-235395 DP, 2025-12-19 Permit. Development permit for new construction of a four-story multi-use residential building with a total floor area of 8,182 square feet, including six residential units, a coffee shop, and a geothermal heating system.

Description: The City of Winnipeg has approved a development permit for a six-storey mixed-use project at 72 Israel Asper Way, part of the ongoing Railside at The Forks redevelopment initiative, which is transforming former surface parking areas into a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented mixed-use neighbourhood. The project features two connected buildings totaling approximately 79,409 square feet, linked by outdoor walkways at each level, and includes four commercial rental units on the ground floor and 91 residential units above, with Building A incorporating a rooftop patio amenity. This development advances urban intensification near The Forks, adding to the area's growing residential and commercial offerings as part of a broader phase that will deliver hundreds of units—including condominiums, market rentals, and affordable housing—by around 2027. When completed, the project will be a 91-unit, $38.1 million mixed-income residential development, of which 51 percent (46 units) will be affordable—28 of which will be two- and three-bedroom rent-geared-to-income units targeted towards low-income families and single mothers. On November 17, 2025, CMHC issued conditional financing approval under the Affordable Housing Fund of up to $28,601,843 on a secured basis for the project, confirming the financial viability of the project’s funding model; CMHC requires NPDC to guarantee this loan. FRC also seeks authority to borrow up to $2,498,947 on an unsecured basis, if required, to support its planned equity contribution to the project. This project is a recipient of $2 million from the Housing Accelerator Fund Capital Grant Incentive. Permits: - 25-139621 DP-2025-12-09, Permit. Housing Accelerator Fund - Development Permit Application for a proposed two building, 79,409 sq. ft. 6-storey mixed-use development containing a 91-unit Multi-Family Dwelling Use and 4 Commercial Rental Units located on the main floors.
