Anyone know what's up with Homes for Heroes on Transcona Blvd? Pretty sure it was supposed to be built by now.

Narin and Regent are great streets to be building more multi-family housing on considering the large lots and future rapid transit line.

It was earmarked in the master plan for a high rise but ultimately that's not proceeding in that direction

Fantastic news on the Kate St development. So so so needed.

Great development. With all the new additions coming to McDermot, if it starts to develop in that direction towards Kate, would make a nice little stretch with the new Ronald McDonald house as well. Hope that area keeps trending in that direction. A lot of abandoned & derelict homes in that area that could be developed/infill projects.

Wpg_Guy definitely gets my vote for Manitoba SSP MVP for the 2025 Season, and we're only half way through the year!

Seems like a low density waste of prime land to me.

I completely agree... but. It's the Winnipeg Way.

Winnipeg Grump · #**218** Posted **Jun 11, 2025, 9:44 PM**

I dunno, man. 40 units in the same footprint of 10 SFH's and of the same scale as the adjacent Kenaston Village apartments and the Carpathia Co-op? It's fine.
No one's dropping a 14-story highrise there, if that's what you were hoping for.

Yeah highrises in Refinery didn’t make much sense to me

Biff · #**220** Posted **Jun 11, 2025, 10:03 PM**

They faced a fair bit of local opposition to anything being built there.
