Water Tower District - Prime Retail Opportunity

Premier Retail Leasing Opportunity in Winnipeg's Newest Mixed-Use Development Anchor your brand at the Water Tower District's 14.34-acre best-in-class retail hub, offering 150,000+ SF of on-site retail across two phases at the southeast corner of Marion Street and Archibald Street. The development features high-visibility pad sites, drive-thru opportunities, and CRU space purpose-built for flagship and service-oriented tenants, with a modern urban design that prioritizes walkability, tenant exposure, and customer convenience. The retail hub sits at the heart of a 165-acre master-planned community transforming a former industrial site into a vibrant transit-oriented neighbourhood. Retailers will benefit from a substantial built-in customer base: 2,800+ new residential units are planned within the district, with construction on the first multifamily buildings scheduled to begin in Fall 2026. This on-site population — combined with a sophisticated surrounding trade area, a significant daytime workforce, and 22 acres of integrated parkland and public space — delivers a captive, walkable customer base layered on top of an established high-density catchment. Ideally located on the east side of St. Boniface, Winnipeg's French cultural heart, the Water Tower District is approximately 4 kilometres from downtown Winnipeg and less than 3 kilometres from St. Boniface General Hospital — Manitoba's second-largest hospital. The site offers excellent connectivity via two points of signalized access and egress: a controlled intersection at Marion Street and Paulette Duguay Street, and direct access to Highway 59 (Lagimodiere Boulevard) through Speers Road. Eight transit stops are in development across the district, reinforcing its position as a true transit-oriented destination.
