Are you suggesting they put " Festivus poles" down Main and Portage?

From what I hear it will be in the SHED.

I saw a notice of 'public hearing' posted on Pembina Highway in front of the Burger King at 2829 Pembina... didn't get a chance to read what it was for (driving).
Google found this:

'8000sq/ft' of rentable space to be built. Sounds like the perfect location for another Famous Dave's, or stadium-related foodfare.
Then again, several new restaurants have already popped up along this stretch in recent months.

A different tweet later on:

"we'll be sharing more details soon. It will be an exciting addition to the 'SHED'"

City poised to sell former Dominion Bridge industrial site
By: Bartley Kives

THE City of Winnipeg is poised to sell the former Dominion Bridge industrial site to a buyer prepared to complete the environmental cleanup of the Dublin Avenue site.
On Friday, city council's property committee will consider a plan to sell the Dominion Bridge site to R.S. Harris for $4 million. The plan calls for the new owner to negotiate a deal with Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship to remediate the site, which is partly littered with non-toxic metal grindings.
The city and province have already reached a draft agreement to share the cost of cleaning up the site, which the city acquired in 2008 in a tax sale. The deal calls for the province to pay half the cost of a remediation plan estimated to be at least $2.9 million, according to a report prepared by city real estate manager John Zabudney.
Since then, the city has collected rent from industrial tenants on the property while listing agent Shindico Realty attempted to sell the site.

Kapyong deal close, chief says
First Nations, feds negotiate over vacated barracks land
By: Alexandra Paul

Manitoba's First Nations are closer than ever to a deal that would create an urban reserve on the site of the former Kapyong Barracks, Sagkeeng Chief Donavan Fontaine said Tuesday.
"By the end of this week, we should have an offer," Fontaine said. "We're closer than we've ever been before, and at the last minute, there could be a deal-breaker. You never know, but I'm cautiously optimistic."
Seven First Nations represented by Treaty 1 took Ottawa to court over the 64.7 hectares of prime city real estate when the barracks were decommissioned and the federal government announced the land would be put up for sale. That was in 2005.
Since then, the case has been stuck in the courts and many drivers have been stuck in traffic because Kenaston Boulevard, which runs on the east side of Kapyong Barracks, could not be expanded to meet growing traffic needs while there were legal claims.

The Canadinns hotel on McPhillips is 2014 completion (at least last time I saw the sign up at the site that's what it said)

local firm Mistecture updated their site with a few things...



from: http://mistecture.com
this one is downtown on Edmonton St and has been floating around for a bit. not sure what's happening or what it is exactly.


from: http://mistecture.com
3 and 5 unit condo buildings on McMillan/Harrow. going through approvals now I think.

here is another proposal from Mistecture, not on their site, but going through approvals right now. 367-373 Stradbrook - 5 storey, 36 unit condo

from: http://www.winnipeg.ca

in other news, 548 Stradbrook (old frat house, 5468796 project) has been approved. not sure how many units (I think 8?)

also, I wonder if this is the condo planned for the Monty's site on Pembina?

From the parking lot layout and the angle of the entry on the left side I would say yes to this being the Montys Condos.
