Location is everything, they say, when it comes to factors to consider about a new home. Finding one that offers a river view and urban conveniences in one of Winnipeg’s most established neighbourhoods is a gem for buyers looking to have it all.
The Banks Condominiums in St. Vital, at 1924 St. Mary’s Rd., offer the best of both worlds.
With possession happening this fall, excitement is building at The Banks Condominiums as more homebuyers secure their place in this sought-after St. Vital community. With the new display suite now open, homebuyers can experience the building, finishes and layout firsthand, gaining a true sense of the space, quality and riverside setting. Located along the Red River, the solid six-storey building is constructed with concrete and steel.
StreetSide Developments is Winnipeg’s largest and longest-standing condominium developer and a Qualico company, which is Western Canada’s largest real estate developer. This year marks Qualico’s 75th anniversary of expertise in the field.
Two- and three-bedroom suites are available at The Banks Condominiums, some with additional flex spaces, ranging from 835 to more than 2,000 square feet. All of them feature large windows that welcome in the stunning river views. Both elegant and functional, kitchens feature Kitchen Craft cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting and soft-close drawers. Each of the 69 units has its own balcony and heating and cooling systems.
“The concrete and steel construction gives The Banks Condominiums a refined, lasting quality that appeals to a wide range of homebuyers. Whether someone is right-sizing, investing in a low-maintenance lifestyle, purchasing their first home or simply looking for a beautiful riverside address, this style of condo offers comfort, durability and flexibility for many stages of life,” says marketing manager Margaux Braund.
“The Banks appeal to buyers at many different stages of life. With elevators, accessible features, underground parking with accessible stalls and visitor parking at the front, the building is designed for comfortable, convenient everyday living.”
The building features a secure lobby with access controlled through digital interphone at both building entries, along with professional off-site property management to support residents and the day-to-day operation of the building.
Adding to the appeal, The Banks Condominiums sit at the heart of one of Winnipeg’s most beloved neighbourhoods.
St. Vital is known for its parks, including one of Winnipeg’s largest — the aptly named St. Vital Park is home to rich bird life and a popular place for a stroll, skate or picnic. St. Vital Centre, near The Banks Condominiums, is one of the city’s largest malls and features 160 retailers and a movie theatre. The area also features schools, daycares, banks and salons. There’s an eclectic mix of eateries and bars, a museum, the Riel House National Historic Site, as well as a long-standing bowling alley that’s been in the community for more than 60 years. Finding things to do in the neighbourhood comes easily. And, most importantly, everything is conveniently located close to home.
Of note for those whose family includes four-legged members, The Banks Condominiums are pet-friendly and allow up to two pets per unit. Any more is subject to board approval.
Common spaces at The Banks Condominiums include an owners’ lounge with a pool table and wet bar, as well as a fitness centre and outdoor terrace to enjoy with friends and family. For residents who like to sit outside and ponder life, river-facing benches around the property make an ideal spot to reflect. Mail pickup is as easy as a quick stop at the community mailbox in the lobby.
Condo prices currently start at $399,000 plus GST and can go to nearly a million, with the river view in the front fetching the top prices.
“The Banks is really a great opportunity to get a beautiful concrete condo with immediate possession starting this fall,” Braund says. “You can move in before the end of the year.”
The much-anticipated brand-new display suite is open and ready to receive visitors. Braund encourages potential buyers to reach out and come have a look at the options for a simpler life with a river view and all the comforts you’d ever want in a home.
