Prairie Pointe Scores Again

Winnipeg’s Prairie Pointe community is a winner. Indeed, this south sector community has seen the largest number of new home building permits in Winnipeg for several years running, a fact that demonstrates both builders’ and the developer’s ability to meet demand and expectations.  

Launched in 2015, Prairie Pointe is located between Kenaston Boulevard and Brady Road. The plan is for 3,000 lots at completion, and today this development is living up to its reputation as the city’s fastest-growing new home community as it begins servicing on Stage 10. 

“We are releasing another 166 lots this year to keep up with demand,” says David Borger, Vice-President of Development with Ladco, a property development company with a heritage that goes back more than 100 years. He mentions that new home builders are now selling from lots released in Stages 8 and 9.

“Stage 8 at the corner of Waverley and Kenaston will feature 15 acres of multi-family properties along with 147 duplexes and townhomes,” adds Ladco's Manager of Land Development, Michael Carruthers. He reports that Stage 9 will see 127 single-family lots added to the mix. 

According to David Borger, Prairie Pointe offers a range of new home options from single-family residences to townhomes and multi-family properties. “There is a product and price point for everyone in this community.”

Prairie Pointe features amenities, such as parks and linear pathways along the naturalized lakes. For example, a five-acre park off Eaglewood Drive sports a green space with a play structure, a picnic shelter and a fire pit, complete with seating. The park also features a new regulation-sized basketball court created with the help of the Winnipeg Minor Basketball Association and installed by the City of Winnipeg. 

“We will be servicing another eight acres of parks and adding a kilometre to the path network this year,” says Carruthers.

As well, Prairie Pointe is expecting a new school to be located at the corner of Castlebrook and Skyline Drive. The new 600-student facility will offer dual-track French immersion and English programs. The plan also calls for 74 infant and preschool child-care spots. Construction is expected to commence in 2026.

The province’s top homebuilders are working in Prairie Pointe. These include A&S Homes, Ventura Custom Homes, Hilton Homes, Discovery Homes, KDR Homes, Randall Homes and Signature Homes. Together, their cutting-edge designs are helping to drive popularity.

“The community offers a nice mixture of single-family homes, duplex side by sides, townhomes and multi-family homes,” says Matthew Yan, vice-president of sales with A&S Homes. “This wide mixture of products allows all price point options, resulting in the fastest growing community in Winnipeg. Prairie Pointe offers everything you'll need to make yourself at home.”
