I was just saying at work that Winnipeg has arrived to the tiny apartment era that we used to make fun of in Vancouver and Toronto. It’s amazing how suddenly sizes have dropped. Affordability has become king and that means smaller sizes.
I doubt the university can dictate unit sizes but even if this isn’t student housing, the units are likely very small. The evidence is that number in only 23 storeys. Thats 40% more suites than the 21 storey 308 colony.
Anyways. Nice to see the development get a building. I’ve had doubts about their aspirations. Hopefully this is a bit of a catalyst.
