Parade of Homes

For the last century, Ladco has grown right alongside Winnipeg, and the company is still helping to shape some of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods. Ladco works hard to create inclusive, affordable and walkable communities that bring people and nature together. Currently, Ladco's thoughtfully planned 630-acre Prairie Pointe is a diverse mix of single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes, condominiums and apartments, with more than 65 combined acres of greenspace and wetlands. Nestled in a prime location next to South Pointe, on the west side of Kenaston Boulevard, the community offers easy access to major shopping, education and key transportation links, and there's more to come. A commercial site on the South Pointe side of the road is in the early stages of development, with plans for its first office building taking shape. More flexible architectural guidelines make for an esthetically pleasing neighbourhood, showcasing a who's who of Winnipeg builders, including: A&S Homes, Ventura Custom Homes, Hilton Homes, Qualico, Randall Homes, Signature Homes, Discovery Homes, and KDR Homes. Sean Gallagher, development coordinator, is excited about the ongoing progress at Prairie Pointe. "In the fall of 2019, we opened a five- acre park with a wide-open playing field, a play structure for ages 2 to 12, plenty of seating, a picnic shelter and fire pit," says Gallagher. At the same time, Ladco opened up Stage 4, with 299 new lots of varying sizes. "There is a variety of lots for different lifestyles, including amenity lots that back onto park space and lakes just in the one phase." Also on deck for 2020 is a new duplex development that will feature 66 duplex and 19 townhome lots. "This is under construction right now and there will be serviced lots this fall for buyers, from starter homes and upward," Gallagher says. "We also have a multi-family townhouse development at Skyline Drive and Castlebrook Drive, an ongoing project moving forward with some parts already completed." A 3/4 kilometre extension of the active transportation network is being planned for fall construction. "We are looking to extend our asphalt path around some of our lakes so it will connect Waverley Street to Skyline," he says. The community's eco-friendly naturalized stormwater system is engineered to function just like a wetland, with native grasses and vegetation placed to ensure that any stormwater that drains out of Prairie Pointe eventually makes its way to the Red River as clean water. As Ladco continues on with Prairie Pointe's development, the company is also breaking new ground at Highland Pointe in north Winnipeg, off McPhillips Street. Stage 1 of that development will offer 250 variously-priced lots. "Highland Pointe will feature a small pocket park too. We're excited to get moving on it as soon as possible," says Gallagher. "Ladco is pleased to be back in that end of town." Learn more at www.ladco.mb.ca. THERE IS A VARIETY OF LOTS FOR DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES, INCLUDING AMENITY LOTS THAT BACK ONTO PARK SPACE AND LAKES JUST IN THE ONE PHASE.
