Proposed development seeks to standout, build up neighbourhood

The Winnipeg Goldeyes may be getting a new neighbour — and architects hope the proposed development will spur area revitalization.

A long and narrow stretch of land at 151 William Stephenson Way sits unused. If all goes to plan, 5468796 Architecture aims to see construction on the site by early next year.

For now, the proposed seven-storey mixed-use development is in its early phases. Early meaning city councillors have yet to approve a land drainage plan enabling construction. There are further city approvals, cost calculations and grant-seeking required.

“Our goal, our hope is that we can instigate other properties in this area — which is really a sea of parking lots — to consider (development),” said Sasa Radulovic, a partner at 5468796 Architecture.
