The subdivision will include multi-family complexes,
127 single-family homes, a number of townhomes
and three additional lots for commercial build-
ings. There has been some discussion regarding a
complex possibly being converted into a 55-plus
residence, a first for the city. That tentative plan was
mentioned in a Free Press article in June.
"Once that was mentioned in the Free Press, we've
gotten nothing but calls about it," Bickerton says. "It
has put it to the forefront."
While some homes have already been built and occu-
pied, the community will welcome about 2,600 residents
once it's completed.
"We're basically trying to attract everybody,"
Bickerton says. "The goal is to age in place. Once
you live there, you stay there and love your commu-
nity. You can stay in Steinbach, raise your family and,
hopefully, retire there and watch your grandchildren
grow up. We'd also love to have more immigration in
the area, and we're trying to accommodate all kinds
of housing to make that happen."
The stand-alone community includes a naturalized
pond surrounded by walking and bicycle paths that
just happen to be along the line of Manitoba's 55-kilo-
metre Peace Trail. Residents will be able to walk or
cycle to all of the amenities in the area instead of
driving to services.
"To have the amenities that we've designed — like
the tennis/pickleball court, dog park, pond, walking
paths, play structures — we don't see anything
like that in the Steinbach area," Bickerton says. "It's
more common in the Winnipeg area, but the prices
for housing in that kind of community are consider-
ably higher. So we think it's a good opportunity for
Steinbach to continue to grow."
The developers also went the extra mile by ensuring
that 26 per cent of the property is dedicated to
green space, as compared to the city's 10 per cent
mandate, Bickerton says.
"The goal is to age in place. Once you
live there, you stay there and love
your community."
