There is an access easement off of a property on Almey Ave for the ground keepers from Shaarey Zedek Cemetery to maintain the grounds.

Description: A developer is proposing to construct a four-storey mixed-use building at the northeast corner of Court Avenue and Pipeline Road in Winnipeg’s Leila North neighbourhood. The 39,524-square-foot site, zoned RMU (Residential Mixed-Use) and designated for Higher Density Residential under the Recent Community policy area, would feature 7,495 square feet of ground-floor commercial space for a medical office, a small local grocer, and a café with an 810-square-foot patio. Above, the building would include 32 residential rental units. Standing approximately 45.5 feet tall and oriented east-west, the structure would incorporate brick-pattern charcoal EIFS on the ground floor and fibre cement panels in white and grey tones above, with glass balconies on the upper levels. The proposal meets all landscaping requirements and provides 66 outdoor parking spaces—exceeding the zoning minimum of 62—including dedicated visitor, accessible, loading, and 20 bicycle parking stalls. The developer emphasizes that complementary daytime commercial and evening residential demand patterns, combined with staggered operating hours across the tenants, will ensure parking is adequately managed without spillover onto surrounding streets.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Of course there is a Winnipeg Free Press article on it.

This has been said before, but go and look at the old "Winnipeg Construction" threads. Our city is finally booming. There is good reason for excitement. Maybe sometime 10 or 20 years from now, people from all over Canada will want to move to Winnipeg.

lots of great news for Winnipeg, I agree. but I travel for work lots in southern Ontario and Lower mainland BC and I can tell you nobody is talking about Winnipeg. They are all having apartments, condos, strip malls being built at a much more rapid and dense rate than here.

They need to dig up the road on St. Mary’s for their sewer work before they pave it this summer. I’ll be so pissed if they don’t and tear it up next year…

[bomberjet]

They'll for sure do it next summer haha.

Apparently on my street they are supposed to be doing watermain work based on what the surveyors told my wife. Hoping it happens soon as the street is scheduled for rehab next summer. haha

Tender is closed (147-2026) and lowest bidder was No Limits Underground but the contract has not yet been awarded from what I can see on Merx.

It’s so residents in every neighbourhood can experience what it’s like when a cruise ship comes to their town…

There was chatter over a year ago that in summer 2025 a major hi-rise was going to be reclad. Is it safe to assume that is not going forward?
Also, the tallest mew building proposed would be Station Place 25 with 22 floors and MArketlands with 16?
So many smaller cities are advancing their skylines while ours is almost stagnant/dormant.

Project Thread: 22 Granite Way | 12F
Description: The City of Winnipeg & the UWCRC2.0 are advancing a proposed 12 storey 111-unit mixed-income residential development on a city-owned surface parking lot adjacent to the historic Granite Curling Club in the West Broadway neighbourhood, along the Assiniboine River near downtown. The Granite Curling Club is the oldest in western Canada and occupies a heritage building under a month-to-month lease from the city. As part of commitments under the federal Housing Accelerator Fund to expedite affordable housing on municipal lands, the site was declared surplus and partnered with a non-profit developer. The project features red brick cladding to harmonize with the club's historic facade, a ninth-floor terrace offering views of downtown and the Manitoba Legislative Building, a mix of market-rate, affordable, and deeply affordable units, and Net Zero Carbon design standards. Although the development includes provisions for long-term financial support to the club through revenue sharing, the club's board has opposed it, citing concerns over the loss of parking spaces essential to its operations. Alternative parking options exist on nearby residential streets and, informally, in the large lot across the street at the Canada Life head office. The Manitoba Municipal Board recently ruled in favor of the club, recommending that the project proceed only with a parking plan approved by the tenant; however, the city maintains this oversteps provincial authority on municipal property rights and is proceeding with rezoning while committing to negotiate a new long-term lease and dedicated parking solutions. This development is an initiative of the City of Winnipeg's HAF Land Enhancement Office (LEO).
