Winnipeg | Pembina Hwy Developments

I wonder what effect the international student thing will have on these developments. Ie: will there be many more to come or will it die out now. I also wonder what the vacancy rates are/will be for all these new builds.

I just wish the developments were closer together so that we'd have some good visual density.

Description: A prominent new development is rising on the site of the former Capri Motel along Pembina Highway in Winnipeg. The project features a modern 10-storey mixed-use building that will include 240 residential dwelling units alongside two commercial spaces on the ground floor, bringing fresh housing and retail options to the area. Thoughtfully designed with transit-oriented principles in mind, the rear of the structure offers direct pedestrian access to the nearby rapid transit station and the adjacent public active transportation route, enhancing connectivity for residents and visitors alike. In a nod to local heritage and nostalgia, the developer has preserved the iconic retro Capri sign that once graced the old motel. The sign has been carefully removed, refurbished, and will be reinstalled on the new building, ensuring a piece of Winnipeg's mid-century roadside history remains part of the evolving streetscape.

PROGRESS UPDATE: The Capri Flats ⁠
⁠
Hollow-core installation is officially underway.⁠
⁠
Just days ago, you could see the sky from the main floor; today, we’re standing on the third floor. ⁠
⁠
By using precast slabs, we aren’t just building for strength; we’re building for speed. These planks give us an immediate, solid platform, allowing our crews to move straight into vertical framing without the wait.⁠
⁠
Once complete, The Capri Flats will be a modern 10-storey, 240-unit residential building along Pembina Highway, designed as a vibrant urban community. Thoughtfully planned suites, shared amenities, and landscaped outdoor spaces create homes that are functional, comfortable, and connected to the city.⁠

240 apartments is a massive building. I think 308 Colony St, which is 21 stories tall, is 214 apartments. Pembina Hwy has some huge lots which make these large developments possible. Also nice that there are 2 CRU's on the main floor.

It’s definitely a massive building—I love the coined term “sidescraper.”

Despite disappointment over the reduced height of the Sutton Place Hotel project, the revised ten-storey building (24,876 m²) will be modestly larger than Capri Flats (22,938 m²) — a difference of 938 m², or roughly 4%.
