It looks like Manitoba Housing is going to be making room for a few more families. New construction is coming. There seems to be a need for it that is for sure! Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corporation have confirmed their plans for the new MB Housing units that will be constructed on the land provided by the City of Brandon. Their intent is to construct between 20 and 24 units at 10 15th Street North. The majority of the units will be three-bedroom units, with a few four-bedroom units as well. Units of this size are in great need in Brandon, especially at affordable housing rates. Friesen Tokar Architects is working on the project and have visited the Brandon site. They will be initiating the rezoning process shortly. MHRC and Friesen Tokar Architects plan on attending the public hearing in Brandon once it has been scheduled in order to answer any questions that the City and local residents may have regarding the proposed family housing project. A draft schematic site plan and unit designs for the Brandon build have been completed. Barring any delays as a result of the rezoning process, MHRC anticipates that construction in Brandon will begin summer 2009 and be completed in mid 2010.
