New Mixed-Use Tower Align Joins Sister Building ARC in Strengthening U of M- Area Population
Campus Suites’ eight-year vision for student housing in Winnipeg will finally come to fruition this summer.
The Toronto-based developer is putting the finishing touches on Align, its second mixed-use building at 2537 Pembina Hwy., across from the University of Manitoba’s Fort Garry campus. It will open for occupancy by the end of July.
The 16-storey, 397-Unit (554-bed) development stands next to Phase 1 of the two-building project, the ARC – a 16-storey, 368-unit (570-bed) complex which opened in 2021.
“We’ve created two iconic buildings that i think will stand the test of time,” Henry Morton, President of Campus Suites, told the Free Press.
“To be able to be the pre-eminent buildings in the city of a long time to come, I find that exciting, for my family, for our partners, for the university, for the students – and i hope that we’ll help the university grow. That’s what great housing also helps people do.”
