Our infill home division is located in the heart of urban revival.  We excel in locating mature lots in established neighborhoods in Winnipeg.  Infill lots are vital for rejuvenating neglected older areas of the city while reducing urban sprawl.  New developments in Winnipeg have played a major role in contributing to urban sprawl creating increased demand on roadways, bridges, snow removal, garbage pickup, maintenance and public transit.  Urban sprawl has also increased spending of public tax money to provide and maintain these essential services. 

Re-development of infill lots eliminates this demand by utilizing existing infrastructure, saving the city money while providing homes for those who recognize these problems thus creating opportunity for those who see the benefits of living in a mature and established area more closely located to the city's urban center. Issues such as increased gas prices, pollution and depletion of farm land are all heightened as a result of urban sprawl.  Infill housing reduces the impacts of these effects while providing a new alternative for families who appreciate the benefits of infill homes.

Quality of life has long been one of the major draws for attracting people to Winnipeg.  This attraction has helped create an influx of new people to the city every year.  If the only option people have to live in new homes is in sprawling communities that promote congested commutes to and from work, then we are destroying the very quality of life that brought these people to Winnipeg.  The average person is spending an increased amount of time in their vehicles due to urban sprawl.  As a result they are wasting valuable time and money, a luxury many cannot afford. With an infill home those lengthy commutes will be cut to less than half, which in turn allows for much needed quality time with family, friends or simply relaxing at home.

The issues raised by urban sprawl are far reaching and affect people on many different levels.  Infill homes help alleviate the strain that is put on our city, increasing quality of life for its citizens and demonstrating that Winnipeg is environmentally conscious.  Infill development is a small step towards Winnipeg becoming a better, “Greener” city.
