I believe it has been cancelled or put on long term hold.

in 2025, city planning staff recommended rejecting the dasz 14/2025 application to subdivide and rezone the property from r1-m (single-family) to r2 (multi-family) zoning in the mature communities pdo-1 area, along with the related development applications. However, the east kildonan-transcona community committee disagreed with that recommendation, and city council ultimately approved the proposal. The approval came with a condition: The developer must enter into a zoning agreement that requires final plan approval before the project can proceed.

Thanks for this! It's 146-2026. Beaver Sewer and Water is low bid.

Opps. I have to start using my glasses more when I am looking at my laptop.

Based on the plans the fire hydrant out front is being moved. The water service is being renewed to the curb stop, which means my fence probably needs to come down. And my broken hose bib of this past year may get replaced by the contractor for temp water supply. Oh joy!

Do you have a lead service, because now is the time to upgrade to copper from the curb stop to your water meter shut off.

When my water main was replaced in the early 1980's nobody thought of offering the homeowner the option to pay for a copper upgrade to the house while the curb stop was in an open pit and the city sidewalk removed if applicable.

The city does put food-grade orthophosphate in the water at Deacon Treatment plant that coats the inside of the lead pipes to make them safer.

I don't think so. The pipe coming in the floor is copper.

Then you are good, it will be copper all back to the main.

Media: Plans for three-building apartment complex approved-Winnipeg Free Press Apr 2025
Description: A new residential project is advancing at 490 Shaftesbury Boulevard in Winnipeg's upscale Tuxedo neighbourhood, where developer Private Pension Partners (P3) is preparing to build a luxury, purpose-built rental apartment complex on a 1.4-acre infill site between Canadian Mennonite University and the Tuxedo Golf Course. The development will deliver a total of 58 dwelling units across three low- to mid-rise buildings: a central five-storey apartment structure containing 23 units, flanked by two four-storey buildings offering 17 and 18 units respectively. Positioned in one of the city's most affluent areas with excellent proximity to Assiniboine Park, extensive walking and biking trails, and active transportation paths along Shaftesbury Boulevard, the project emphasizes walkability and lifestyle amenities for residents seeking to age in place or enjoy lock-and-leave convenience. After facing community opposition over concerns about density, green space, and neighbourhood character—leading to rezoning debates, public hearings, and a Manitoba Municipal Board recommendation—the plans received approvals, with construction now underway the completed community, is expected to open around 2027. This modest-scale infill initiative aims to introduce diverse housing options while respecting the area's established character through stepped building heights and thoughtful site design.
Permits: Bldg A | Bldg B | Bldg C #25-172622 MU, 2025-11-21: Construct new 120 874 sf, 59 unit multi-family residence with below grade parking. Development consists of 3 buildings; building A is 5 stories, building B & C are 4 stories. All buildings share below grade foundation/parking garage. (all 4 are considered 1 single building)

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.

Three nice buildings.

[wags_in_the_peg]

^ The Banks is a really nice building, gorgeous shared space and many balconies have great views.

I definitely would not mind living in one of these units.

Catch a lovely view of the tree covered rolling hills of Winnipeg.

Why are people like this lol.

We just had 3 new towers completed downtown at Colony, Bannatyne and Mayfair. There are 5 more coming with DSM, Portage Place medical & residential, marketlands and the Granite apartment. Plus major projects at the Bay and Railside. There was literally nothing built downtown from 1990 until the 2000s. If this stuff happened in the 90s everyone would have lost their minds.

DSM?????
You consider those towers, 13 or 15 floor skyscrapers?

Yes it's a tower lol. I believe the threshold for what's considered high-rise is 10-12 floors. But also the point is, how many 15-storey residential buildings were built downtown in the 90s?

These 10-15 storey builds are the perfect parking-lot fillers for us. Halifax has geographical constrains that force buildings up. We have flat open land and empty parking lots to fill. I'd much rather have 5 10-story buildings that fill up 5 parking lots than one big fancy tower that fills up one lot and sits in a sea of surface parking. I get that we're skyscraper fans here but that's not what is best for downtown Winnipeg at sidewalk level, which is where it needs improvement the most.

This development is a recipient of $400,000 from the Housing Accelerator Fund Capital Grant Incentive.
