City dangles $5M to lure buyer for parkade
THE City of Winnipeg is again offering $5 million to potential builders of a new parkade on the east side of the Exchange District.
In 2011, the Winnipeg Parking Authority made a search for private companies interested in building a parkade in the East Exchange, using $5 million worth of proceeds from the $23.6-million sale of the Winnipeg Square Parkade.
The cash was awarded to a consortium involving property developers Sunstone and Qualico, which both own new condominium buildings in the East Exchange. Their plan was to build a 450-stall parkade on a James Avenue surface lot owned by the Manitoba Centennial Centre, a provincial Crown corporation. The province offered the land on the condition it would spur residential development.
