At MRA, we see master planning as the foundation for sustainable development. From business parks to reimagined neighbourhoods, our integrated approach balances policy, infrastructure, market trends, and community needs.
With decades of experience across Manitoba, we deliver visionary yet practical frameworks and often act as owner reps and project managers. Our planners lead projects at all scales, working with clients, municipalities, and the public to shape shared, achievable visions that support economic vitality, environmental stewardship, and resilient communities.

Whether it’s infill, brownfield remediation, or a new greenfield development, we provide strategic guidance through the development approval process and work closely with government agencies to expedite permits so the project can move forward without delay.
