Braund says people like “multi-level living,” as well as all the other benefits that come with a condominium. They are affordable for first-time buyers and for mature homeowners who want to downsize. They tend to be in convenient locations, close to transit or shops. And if you don’t want to shovel snow again in your lifetime, a maintenance-free home is just the ticket. StreetSide has several more condominium developments in the pipeline — including apartment- style condos in Sage Creek and along the Red River on St. Mary’s Road — although construction dates and sales launches have yet to be determined. One upcoming project to keep an eye on is Lynx Gate Estates, planned for Aurora at North Point in northwest Winnipeg. The collection of two-storey, three-bedroom townhomes with attached garages is modelled on an extremely popular Amber Grove model, The Birch. It was such a big hit with buyers that StreetSide decided to give the people more of what they want at Lynx Gate Estates. “We could not hold on to them,” Braund says. “We said, ‘Why not do that floorplan for the entire development?’ ”
