The condo, which features specialized work from home suites, is replacing the former Fort Garry Legion.
Garry Reid, treasurer of the Fort Garry Legion, said they sold the space to a development group after repairs for the old building started to pile up.
“We just didn’t have the ability to sustain ourselves at that location, and when developers offered us what we thought was a very reasonable offer, we expected it,” said Reid.
When completed, the new development called 'Point on Pembina' will be an 82-unit condo with six main floor live/work units for people who work from home. The condo developers are making sure future residents know about the long-standing history of the former legion location.
“They graciously invited us to put some sort of memorial on their property,” said Reid. “We haven’t quite decided whether we’re going to have a plaque inside, or some sort of memorial on the outside, so that’s what we’re looking at right now.”
Point on Pembina’s development comes on the heels of another multi-use building that is slated to be built in the space where the Pembina Hotel currently sits, as well as a new local grocery store in place of the old Original Pancake House, and another potential condo in place of the Cambridge Hotel.
