M Richard & Associates has been retained to lead the planning and engagement process for a development at 589 Stradbrook Ave. We are excited to present the vision for a new 3-storey, multi-family building.
We invite you to spend 5-10 minutes reviewing project details and to provide feedback or share your support for the project.
SITE OVERVIEW
The site is located in the McMillan Neighbourhood, on the north side of Stradbrook Ave. The property is currently developed with a two-and-a-half storey residential unit with a basement that was built in 1905.
The lot is 7,375 square feet in size, with 49.4 feet of sewer and 49.51 feet of water frontage. The property is designated Mature Communities within Winnipeg's Complete Communities 2.0 Plan and within the Osborne Village Neighbourhood Plan.
What is Complete Communities 2.0?
Complete Communities 2.0 is one of four direction strategies supporting the City’s long-range development plan (OurWinnipeg 2045). The strategy guides land use and development in Winnipeg.
The site is classified as a Mature Neighbourhood, identified within the ‘Established Neighbourhoods' Policy Area under Complete Communities Direction Strategy 2.0. The area is primarily residential with some commercial, educational, and recreational uses.
Mature Neighbourhoods present an opportunity for intensification and development over time. This will contribute to area growth, stability and revitalization over the long-term and will expand housing options for young adults, families and older adults entering retirement.
SURROUNDING
CONTEXT
North: Unit B, 120 Wilmot Place and a back lane
East: 583 Stradbrook Ave.; Colour Scheme Professional Painters (587 Stradbrook Ave.)
South: 592 Stradbrook Ave. and a multi-unit residential development
West: 595 Stradbrook Ave. and a single-family residential development
Why Here?
The area is walkable and bikeable, surrounded by an array of retail to meet daily essential needs. It is a prominent location in Osborne Village area, a popular destination for shopping, entertainment, dining and a common meeting place for many Winnipeggers.
As the population grows, our community and regional corridors must adapt to meet the growing demand for housing and affordable living arrangements. Adding a multi-family residential development of this nature meets these objectives and enriches the surrounding area by providing housing and anchoring a population mass to support surrounding businesses.
