Progress is underway for the redevelopment of Portage Place Shopping Centre, with the federal government committing $10 million toward creating community spaces within the project. This significant investment aligns with municipal grants, tax relief, and provincial lease commitments to support True North Real Estate Development’s ambitious $500-million True North Campus initiative.
M Richard & Associates (MRA), in collaboration with McGowan Russell Group and Architecture49, has been integral to advancing this transformative redevelopment in downtown Winnipeg. Our team has worked closely with True North to facilitate community and stakeholder engagement, ensuring the project reflects the needs of the downtown community.
The True North Campus is set to reshape the Portage Place site into a vibrant, multifunctional space, featuring:
A state-of-the-art health-care centre to enhance regional health services.
Affordable and family housing units to address urban housing needs.
A full-service grocery store and neighbourhood amenities.
Inviting urban green spaces designed to foster community connections.
MRA’s expertise in facilitation and development advisory has helped guide this complex redevelopment, emphasizing collaboration and community alignment. By integrating essential services with accessible public spaces, the project is poised to serve as a catalyst for economic and social revitalization in Winnipeg’s downtown core.
As the redevelopment progresses, the True North Campus promises to bring transformative change, fostering a dynamic urban environment that supports health, sustainability, and community growth.
