Anticipation is building as the construction of a new landmark continues in Winnipeg’s West End at 1133 Portage Avenue, on the former site of Winnipeg’s legendary Palomino Club.

Foundation walls are now going up and The Icon, a new 60-condo development, will be coming out of the ground in May.

One-, two- and three-bedroom sizes are now for sale starting at $169,900 and welcoming buyers from all walks of life.

“It’s a great place to live whether you’re a student, a renter, a first-time home buyer, or if you’re local to the area and looking to downsize,” says Keith Merkel, president of EdgeCorp Group, Icon developer.

For those with limited mobility, the development has eight accessible units in two-bedroom layouts with one or two bathrooms — a unique offering in the area. You’ll find high-quality materials and finishes throughout your condo at The Icon. High-quality luxury vinyl tile will provide a durable, attractive surface underfoot.

Quartz countertops and a stainless steel appliance package in the kitchen are your blank slate for culinary experimentation. Soft-close cabinets, LED under-cabinet lighting and glass-door showers are just some of the little luxuries that come standard.

Recognizing the high demand for affordable and accessible living in Winnipeg, a local developer is meeting those needs head on.

EdgeCorp Group has recognized there is a significant demand in Winnipeg for affordable and accessible housing and they wanted to address that need, according to company president Keith Merkel.

“We were interested in addressing a need in Winnipeg’s underserved accessibility-challenged community. This is an exciting project as it is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of Winnipeg residents from those in the immediate area, to residents that want to live close to work, education or downtown entertainment,” Merkel says.

“The Icon on Portage is a unique, modern condo development that will integrate residents from different backgrounds.” The Icon on Portage is located at the corner of Portage and Minto, in close proximity to downtown, Broadway, Wolseley, and the west end and is well-serviced by transit.

Construction has begun at the new condominium complex The Icon, at 1133 Portage Ave.

Consisting of 60 units, including 8 accessible suites, the development is over 33 per cent sold.

Keith Merkel, president of EdgeCorp Group, says that “interest has been really strong. The building is in a prime location, and it has generated significant excitement from buyers.”

Piling and excavation is now complete, and foundation work will start mid-March. The highly-anticipated move-in date is fast approaching, with possession is slated for fall 2017.

It’s an opportunity for forward-thinking home buyers to find a condo that reflects their environmentally aware approach. The Icon will be developer EdgeCorp’s second Manitoba PowerSmart building, helping residents save money on their hydro bills while conserving electricity.
