Borger and Mike Carruthers, Ladco's manager of land development, both say a big part
of what makes South Pointe unique is its seamless blend of natural beauty and urban
living. It features a prairie wetland-inspired drainage system connected to ponds and
creeks and more than 30 acres of parks and walking paths.
"We've got a lot of lakes and parks running through the centre of the community and
it's easily accessible by all of the residents. You see a lot of families out walking around.
Families really enjoy that," Borger says.
It's also just minutes away from
some of the most popular shop-
ping destinations in the city, and
more commercial development is
expected in the months ahead.
"It's a great location in southwest
Winnipeg and is close to many com-
mercial amenities. I think southwest
Winnipeg has always been very
popular due to that," Carruthers
says, adding the community is also
close to the University of Manitoba
while a new dual-track kindergar-
ten - Grade 8 school is planned.
Another plus is that home buyers
and builders are encouraged to be
creative instead of being forced to
adhere to stringent design guide-
lines.
