I love the overall modern look of ThePlains, but I do find it perplexing as to why they used so little glass for the upper floor suites. How do they get light in there with those tiny slivers of window along the west side?

There's a central courtyard with a lot more windows to the units – they wanted to do it that way to keep noise pollution from St. Mary's to a minimum.

Looks like 174 Provencher is going ahead. New design is recommended for approval at special meeting on June 11. I am pretty pumped about this project. Can't wait to see it.

This is the old design, what changes were recommended?

Its just so bland and uninspiring, its a great project just disappointing design.

Not too clear but the design guidelines for Provencher are pretty extensive and apparently the new design reflects them fully.

^ The original design was fairly lacklustre but at this point I'll root for just about anything that fills in the gaps on Provencher and brings a modicum of density there.

If it looks better than the rendering shown above, even better.

DÉVELOPPEMENT IMMOBILIER : ÇA BOUGE À SAINT-BONIFACE

par Daniel BAHUAUD

PASCAL TOUPIN-SELINGER, GÉRANT DU DÉVELOPPEMENT CHEZ IRONCLAD DEVELOPMENTS
Nous voulons construire un immeuble de cinq étages au 173, rue Notre-Dame, à l’angle de la rue Saint-Joseph. Le projet coûtera près de 17 millions $. Notre objectif est de fournir des appartements de plusieurs chambres pour les jeunes familles qui veulent vivre à Saint-Boniface. La grande majorité de nos 78 appartements aura donc deux ou trois chambres. On sait que la plupart des appartements du Vieux Saint-Boniface sont plus petits. C’est idéal pour les étudiants et les célibataires. Mais il y a beaucoup de gens, entre autres des nouveaux arrivants, qui demeurent à Winnipeg et qui seraient heureux d’habiter le quartier et d’inscrire leurs enfants à l’école Taché.

Nous sommes très confiants que les travaux de construction pourront commencer dès septembre. Le 1er février, nous avons tenu une réunion publique pour présenter notre concept. Nous avons aussi rencontré Lyndsey Marshal et Andrèse Gosselin, la présidente et la viceprésidente de l’Association des résidents du Vieux Saint-Boniface.

C’était important d’écouter les Bonifaciens, de discuter avec eux et de respecter leurs perspectives et suggestions. Le plan de développement secondaire de Saint-Boniface permet des immeubles plus hauts que celui qu’on propose. On voulait respecter le fait que les résidents n’en voulaient pas. On ne veut pas non plus changer l’apparence du quartier. La cour de devant sur la Notre- Dame sera à 25 pieds du trottoir, comme pour les maisons. De plus, l’édifice aura une partie à seulement trois étages, pour ne pas causer un effet choc avec les maisons actuelles.

On veut quand même montrer notre projet final au public une deuxième fois, tout probablement le 22 mars. Le 26mars, on présentera notre demande de variance du zonage au Comité communautaire Riel. On espère obtenir les appro bations de la Ville de Winnipeg pour notre projet dès le mois de mai.

JASON VAN ROOY, GÉRANT DU MARKETING ET DU SERVICE À LA CLIENTÈLE CHEZ TOWERS REALTY GROUP
Nous souhaitons construire un immeuble au 210, rue Masson. Pendant quatre mois en 2016 et 2017, nous avons tenu des consultations avec le grand public, les résidents d’immeubles avoisinants, le conseiller municipal de Saint-Boniface Mathieu Allard, ainsi que plusieurs organismes, comme l’Université de Saint-Boniface.

Au départ, nous avions proposé un édifice de huit étages, comme l’Accueil colombien qui est juste à côté. Notre dialogue avec le public nous a permis de comprendre que huit étages, c’était trop imposant pour un coin de rue. Surtout qu’on doit aussi incorporer l’ancienne école normale, un édifice historique.

Lors de notre prochaine consultation publique, qui aura lieu le 12 mars (1), nous proposerons donc un immeuble de quatre étages, avec près de 55 appartements. Les suites seront de tailles variées, de 600 pieds carrés à 1 000 pieds carrés, pour répondre à plusieurs clientèles, comme les étudiants de l’USB, les couples et les familles.

Le fait de proposer un immeuble plus petit nous a aussi permis de repenser la manière dont nous incorporerons l’ancienne école normale. Cet édifice historique sera bien mieux mis en valeur. Trois côtés de la bâtisse seront entourés d’espaces verts. Le coin de rue sera agréable à voir.

Après avoir consulté à nouveau le public, nous espérons demander la variance de zonage nécessaire à la Ville. Bien sûr, puisque nous avons affaire à un édifice historique, il faudra aussi obtenir l’aval du Comité des édifices et des ressources historiques de la Ville. Nous espérons avancer assez rapidement, étant donné qu’on aura obtenu l’approbation du public. On espère commencer nos travaux cette année.

PAUL ALLARD, COPROPRIÉTAIRE DE LA FIRME KAI ASSET MANAGEMENT
Un dialogue franc et ouvert avec le public est un élément clé pour faire avancer un projet immobilier. J’ai eu de bons échos sur l’approche transparente de Towers Realty Group et d’Ironclad Developments. C’est ce qu’il faut.

En novembre 2017, nous avons tenu une consultation publique pour Le Quartier, l’immeuble de quatre étages que nous voulons ériger au 174, boulevard Provencher. Le 15 janvier, le Comité communautaire Riel a approuvé notre variance de zonage. Le Conseil de la Ville l’a adoptée le 22 février. Alors nous sommes très confiants que nous pourrons aller de l’avant.

Consulter le public n’empêche pourtant pas des petits pépins. Deux Bonifaciens ont fait appel concernant notre variance de rezonage. Ils s’objectent principalement au manque de stationnement pour les visiteurs, et du fait que nous voulons une zone de déchar – gement sur la Provencher. Nous croyons pouvoir régler ce différend assez rapidement, et nous mettre à poser les fondations de notre projet de dix millions $ dès l’été.

This weeks edition of the Lance has an advertisement for an open house for "Public Markets - Major Redevelopments" on Thursday June 21st 4:30 to 7:30 PM at Canad Inns Windsor Park. The image associated with the ad shows the old stock yards lands off of Marion.

This is one of the major redevelopment sites identified by the city so it will be interesting to see what the developer has in mind for large tract of land. The developer named is Alexa developments. Not sure who or where they are from as the google appears to come up empty handed.

Forty years late, but news too good to be true.

I think it's Calgary-based Olexa Developments

Olexa is currently doing an 150 acre industrial park in CenterPort so I guess they want to do something on the east side of the city.

I guess it also gives the Canad Inn's owner his money back finally as the land sells.

In some ways it's a good thing the land was banked to now. Knowing the practices at the time, chances are that 40 years ago it would have been squandered on a bunch of single storey commercial and light industrial developments... think car lots, strip malls with massive parking lots, and the like.

I wonder if the focus will be on commercial/light industrial uses, or will it be on residential? I'm hoping it's the latter as I think that would be a great area to see a new neighbourhood emerge in a fairly central location, but I'm not sure that the location lends itself to that.

If the east RT line ends up taking Provencher, it'd be fantastic to build this as mixed use with a transit focus, as busses could exit the ROW at Provencher & Archibald, then head south to a terminus, maybe around the curling club.

I think it would be pretty cool to make St Joseph a sort of lightly commercial street with storefronts. Of course, parking was brought up again. People gotta get over the fact that parking spots aren't necessary.

as a parent of a 12yr old baseball player, the StB/StV area lacks some serious AAA fields as ours are spread around and lack decent field care and amenity like washrooms. Southdale CC is about to lose their 2 AA baseball diamond and 2 softball diamonds to the expansions of the hockey rink. Our 3 AAA teams play out of Norwood, Provencher Park and Whittier Park. We can sure use a 4 plex like they have in South Winnipeg (Wilkes), North Winnipeg (Sunova on perimeter), St James (centre port way/sturgeon) and North East Winnipeg (East St Paul rec complex).

If Google translate is right – apparently they want people to have to load on Provencher....

"Ils s’objectent principalement au manque de stationnement pour les visiteurs, et du fait que nous voulons une zone de déchar – gement sur la Provencher."

It basically says "They (being the two residents who objected) object mainly to the lack of parking for visitors as well as the fact that we want a loading zone on Provencher"

So they're pissed off by the lack of new stalls created and the loss of one or two on street spots which would be a side effect of the loading zone being created. The article doesn't really specify beyond that unfortunately. I find translate doesn't pick up on more nuanced language very well.

And it's not like they're asking for new curb cuts, or so it seems.

On a side bar, could some benevolent developer please put up a boutique hotel?

I'm just confused how a loading zone on Provencher connects to this development... whoever it's coming from. Why does the developer want it, why are residents against it? Is it just for construction?

That'd be nice. I'm still so surprised that Sparrow Hotels hasn't taken the Norwood up a tier, considering their other hotels are much nicer – Inn at the Forks and Mere, and they own Cibo.
