-
To ensure a well-connected neighbourhood, offering access to opportunities

Add supply to address a constrained inventory that is fueling a rapid rise in housing cost
-
To generate long-term economic benefits for East St. Paul
-
Introducing aging in place opportunities

Sustainability & Green Energy

Preserving of trees where appropriate

Opportunities for new park space, trails

Address Infrastructure Constraints
-
To maximize use of capital dollars through planned for and efficient land development
-
To leverage benefits from recent interchange upgrades and improved flow of people and goods throughout the northeast quadrant of the Winnipeg Metro Region
-
To increase municipal revenues
-
To work together to address current infrastructure gaps.

The Changing Region / Post Covid
-
Changing demand characteristics - Winnipeg region requires a minimum of 118,000 new units to satisfy demand to 2050
-
Property buyers still prefer houses or ground level units
-
Post-Covid survey of property owners reveals that Covid-19 introduced concepts that people can work from anywhere without a downtown commute and that they want to be part of a connected community

Housing Supply Concerns Post Covid

-
The Winnipeg region is now more unaffordable than Calgary, Edmonton, and Quebec
-
Due to supply constraints, there is not enough housing that people can afford
-
Leads to more bidders, greater competition, and a sharp rise in cost for a place to live
Housing Affordability

-
Affordability is now a real issue - while people desire a house, cannot afford to ‘buy into’ larger lot developments
-
Demand far exceeds supply
-
An increase in density leverages important new revenue for the RM through development
-
Infrastructure challenges are addressed most effectively and without burden to the ratepayer
Proposed Site Plan

Total Est. Number of Units
2011 units (10.99 U/A)
