COMING INTO ALIGN-MENT

Article by: JOSHUA FREY-SAM

PHASE 2 of a student rental housing development project in southwest Winnipeg is expected to be completed next summer.

Align, an 18-storey, 397-unit (554bed) residential mixed-use building located at 2537 Pembina Hwy., broke ground in May 2022 and will be move-in ready in time for the 2024 school year.

The building will neighbour Phase 1, The Arc (opened in 2021), across from the gate of the University of Manitoba’s main campus, at the corner of Bison Drive.

“We’re on schedule,” said Henry Morton, president of the developer Campus Suites. “We’re at the surface, we’re pouring ground level. We’ve done all of the garage, but that’s really it.”

Morton said he anticipates the building will be ready to start accepting tenant applications in early 2024.
