Winnipeg doesn’t seem to demand fancy en-suite bathrooms the way Toronto does. I’m surprised at how big and relatively expensive new condos get there while still not having them. That place reminds me of the big old houses that used to be around St Mary’s and Fermor.

There is getting to be some serious density occurring north of Provencher (this one, two apartment buildings under construction, Parmalat lot being cleared). 825 Tache if it ever goes ahead. Still have a concern about those rail cars..

Canada Packers

Wow. this will be a huge missed opportunity if this land is used for industrial instead of residential infill.

Quote:


Your voice is needed now more than ever!
The Employment and Commercial Lands Study was laid over until April 1st, 2019

The Employment land study recommends;

- “The Public Markets site should be considered for redevelopment as an industrial business park or similar non-impactive employment uses.” Page 283
- "The site is one of the larger intensification and redevelopment opportunities within the City of Winnipeg for industrial and employment uses, and this should be capitalized upon.” Page 286


How can my voice be heard?

Send an Email with your concerns and reasons for supporting residential infill

Subject: Attention Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development, Heritage, and Downtown Development
To: cityclerks@winnipeg.ca
CC: (Councillors on the Committee) jlukes@winnipeg.ca; bmayes@winnipeg.ca; srollins@winnipeg.ca; kklein@winnipeg.ca
RE: Employment and Commercial Lands Study (page 282 E.10 Cluster I – Mission)

Do you have concerns that the city may lose this opportunity for the proposed residential infill plan on the Old Canada Packers site? Express those in your email as well. The proposed development is referred to as Public Markets MRS `D' proposed by Olexa Developments. Many of you may have already attended their open house last year.

Important to note ;

- August 1988, the Union Stockyards closed http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/sites/unionstockyards.shtml
- Swift meat plant demolition occurred in 1994
- Canada Packers plant demolition occurred in 2001
- Since the demolition in 2001 that site has remained vacant for 18 years.
- The site has been vacant for at least a total of 31 years.
- Developers also have a plan for required remediation.

Explain why you are in support of a development of residential mixed use over industrial. Would a move to more industry in St. Boniface potentially affect your decision to remain centrally located? Does the news in the last few years of non-compliant industries raise any additional concerns for you?

Information related to this topic available on the Winnipeg DMIS website

Industrial land - tend to have the lowest property value and the potential to devalue nearby properties.

Residential land - tend to have the highest value and the potential to increase values of nearby properties.

^^First thing I thought of was what is there out there that could bring down the water table like Swift and Canada Packers did?

Water Park? LOL

173 Notre Dame will bring a few more people to the area, but it looks like a hot mess. 780 Tache looks a lot more promising.

I'm not sure why this site shouldn't be redeveloped for a manufacturing uses?

Put another way, I'm not sure what makes a site hemmed in by railways and heavy industry is so ideal for higher-density/mixed use infill development.

So does anyone know what happened to that other slated development for the Packer Lands/Public Markets? And what are your thoughts on the Public Service's statement in the Employment and Commercial Lands study from May 16, 2018?


"The Public Markets site was identified as a major redevelopment site during the previous OurWinnipeg planning process, and has been encouraged to redevelop as a mixed-use commercial, residential, and business park area. This has not occurred for a variety of reasons, including access constraints to the west, infrastructure constraints, increased environmental remediation costs, desirability of the site and area for residential development, and the overall cost prohibitive nature for non-industrial development. While appropriate buffering and transitions to surrounding areas would be required, the City should re-examine the major redevelopment site designation and refocus future development towards modern industrial or business park models. The site is one of the larger intensification and redevelopment opportunities within the City of Winnipeg for industrial and employment uses, and this should be capitalized upon. " Page E-43

http://clkapps.winnipeg.ca/DMIS/perm...90401(RM)PD-23

Why were there open houses on residential development when it seems that was demonstrated to be less viable?

The Norwood Hotel restaurant looks to be getting a really nice upgrade,

https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en...px8wCnoECA8QCw

 The applicant is proposing to renovate the interior of the existing restaurant located to the east of the existing hotel. The work also includes exterior alterations to the streetfacing façade.

o A new design for the main entrance as well as the secondary entrance;
o Replacement of the existing cladding materials with a darker brick;

The restaurants closed on March 11. They hope to re-open in the summer:

It has been years since I have been there but the windows will make a huge difference.

That's great to hear, wonder if it means they'll be doing hotel upgrades after... the Norwood sticks out so much compared to the others in Sparrow's portfolio.

it would be nice if they had plans for their massive parking lots lining horace st. as well. that whole area could be hemmed-in nicely with the construction a parkade and subsequent redevelopment of the surface lots that remain...

True. Build a parkade fronting Marion with ground level CRUs or more hotel amenities, then sell off or redevelop all the parking lots.

Just came across this planning document for Norwood Grove. It's awesome – should be the standard for streetscaping in different BIZs. Osborne and Exchange need a lesson. Hope to see most of it come to fruition, some of it did in 2018.

When it comes to medicine and health, "hip" really is a word that doesn't belong.
