Shovel-Ready Land for Sale in Winnipeg’s Newest Mixed-Use Development
Olexa Developments Ltd. is transforming the former Canada Packers/Public Markets site into the Water Tower District, a 165-acre mixed-use development, consisting of multi-family, retail, office, parklands, and industrial. The district is designed for walkability and accessibility, allowing residents to live, work, shop, dine, and stay active within their community.
As a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), the district will have convenient Winnipeg Transit stops and frequent service on Marion. Peg City Car Co-op will introduce approximately ten vehicles after the full build-out of multi-family housing.
Over 22 acres are dedicated to parks, public reserves, community gardens, and recreation spaces. Employment opportunities will be integrated, with a 12-acre retail hub at Marion and Paulette Duguay, developed by Olexa and Shindico, serving both the district and the greater St. Boniface area. Additionally, 90 acres of employment lands will support approximately 700 jobs.
Ideally located on the east side of St. Boniface, the Water Tower District is approximately 4 kilometers to downtown and less than 3 kilometers to Manitoba’s second-largest hospital (St. Boniface General Hospital). The site features excellent connectivity to major transportation routes with a controlled intersection at Marion and Paulette Duguay and direct access to Highway 59 (Lagimodiere Blvd.) via Speers Road.
