It will take a little bit of time...remember that a lot of these developers have hade these projects collecting dust since 2018-2019. The development was only given the green light in the early part of this year. A lot has changed since then.

I have been told that start times will range from fall 2024 to spring 2025.

Not a fan. The parking kills the commercial aspect of the building.

I hate this architectural style with a passion, and it seems like a style that is repeated to high hell these days. Minecraft ass building.

Aren’t those public plazas?

Unbending · #8 Posted **Jul 24, 2024, 2:38 AM**

Another grey and black building. I thought the Forks was aiming for a higher level of design.

trueviking · #9 Posted **Aug 1, 2024, 12:58 AM**

at least its brick....i'm ok with some of the railside buildings being a bit more background.....

trueviking · #10 Posted **Aug 1, 2024, 1:08 AM**

I've heard at least one and maybe two of the buildings are in for permit....public notices for variances will go up soon.

trueviking · #11 Posted **Aug 1, 2024, 1:10 AM**

Its just about money, so its pretty common everywhere.

Lets hope this frivolous lawsuit gets thrown out. Could this grind development to a halt?

How can the Dakota claim what was ceded in Treaty One and is outside their traditional territories? They claim the Forks are traditional Sioux land. My understanding is that the Winnipeg area was mainly Ojibway, Cree and Assiniboine but can anyone correct me on that? According to a separate CBC article they want majority control of the Forks land, profits and final say on all grants, leases, licences or permits

Let's see which side of the fence Wabbo falls on this issue. Honestly, I'm getting tired of these land claims by First Nations. I said years ago First Nations will try and make a grab for most of the city, and they indeed appear to be doing so; piece by piece, step by step, slowly but surely.

For the sake of the city and the citizens, I hope the courts throw these bums and their case out the window.

It's such an absurd claim my guess is they're looking for an out-of-court settlement.

I'd be interested in knowing who's actually driving this; the Indigenous communities or some non-Indigenous lawyers who've seen an opportunity to rake in some top-flight legal fees.

I'm no scholar regarding treaties, but I'm guessing the actual Treaty 1 signatories would have something to say about this, and probably not favourable.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

The real bums are the condo developers, how much are they paying for the land again? I am so thankful this group is standing up to stop this ill conceived plan. I hope they win. I’d rather a casino or something like that there anyway, anything but fucking condos. Especially the shitty investor type style these ones will be… where the toilet doubles as your nightstand.

A casino? Instead of housing? Um... okay...

Great hut have you seen the plan even? Something that feels dense with residential and ground floor retail and commercial is truly the best use for the land. We don’t have to segregate uses. Mixed use is best case for most land in the city

Developers will be leasing the land from the forks.
