The University of Winnipeg Community Renewal Corporation (UWCRC) is a not-for-profit organization established to support the development of a sustainable University community, guided by the four pillars of sustainability: environmental, social, economic and cultural. Work done by the UWCRC has included a direct contribution to the positive revitalization of Winnipeg’s downtown and advancement of the UWinnipeg campus and community as an innovative, dynamic and sustainable place to live, work, and play.
In 2016, the Board of UWCRC and the Board of Regents of the University of Winnipeg saw the benefit in creating a parallel development corporation (UWCRC 2.0) to foster values-driven development in the broader community and to provide an entrepreneurial response to the University’s ongoing financial challenges. The mandate of UWCRC 2.0 is to apply UWCRC’s values, skills, competencies, and experience to non-University specific economic development activities. UWCRC 2.0 is mandated to develop wholly-owned or joint-venture real estate developments and to provide development, project management and property management services to other post-secondary institutions, non-profit organizations and First Nations clients.
UWCRC 2.0 has developed and manages several mixed-use (commercial/residential), mixed-income (market/affordable) housing projects in downtown Winnipeg. These projects include the West Broadway Commons, a 110-unit residence in partnership with a local church; the Muse Flats a wholly-owned 119-unit residence designed in consultation with the local arts community; and Solara Flats, a brand new 214-unit residence and the first and tallest residential high-rise to receive CAGBC Zero Carbon Building – Design Standard™ certification in the country.
As this stream of revenue grows, UWCRC 2.0 will be in a position to make regular financial contributions towards UWinnipeg’s academic and research programs and future capital projects.
