210 Masson

Recognizing the historical significance of the former Normal School within the St-Boniface built heritage has been an enduring endeavor. As early as 2007, Entreprises Riel successfully thwarted plans for its demolition, laying the groundwork for a creative solution to rejuvenate this valuable property through adaptive reuse.

Our journey began with the proposal of an adaptive reuse plan in 2004, envisioning the establishment of a youth hostel. Subsequently, in 2010, we explored the possibility of transforming it into a new residence for A Port in the Storm. Over the years, we have explored various housing projects as well. Today, we are delighted to report that all the pieces appear to be falling into place for the launch of a remarkable 60-unit rental housing project by Towers Realty Group. While the project faced some delays due to the pandemic, the owners have assured us that they are diligently working out the last details and remain committed to moving the project forward.
